BSOD and minidump

[Gerald]

I got an error and it said that my sound card may be to blame. Im new to most of this stuff but trying to figure it out. Im running Sound max integrated HD. I tried updating the driver but got nothing. and I wanted to post my mini dump but I dont know how to.. Im running Win XP sp3

You can find your minidumps in the following directory. C:\windows\minidump. Minidump files have a .dmp extension. Right-click on the minidump file and select "send to a compressed folder" ... Upload this folder using the Upload a File button at the bottom of your post. I think XP SP3 has this feature now...While you are at it, give us you complete computer specs please

the first file I uploaded was from the first dump saying the audio driver or card might be the problem Mini051512-01 . the others are new ones I just noticed but never got a BSOD with them

Do you see any yellow exclamation marks in the device manager?

 

[Gerald]

I did at first when I reformatted but there are none now. the one that was there was for the PNP Device ID= ACPI\AWY0001\2&DABA3FF&0 but I fixed that with a download. everything else seems to be running fine

Okay, good

My comp has been restarting itself again and I got a new dump file.. im really starting to wonder whats going on but I can not figure it out to save my life.

The Nvidia driver is being flagged in the minidump now

 

[Gerald]

thank you I wish I knew how to read them.. I will look for an update I guess

Any luck with this Gerald?

 

[Gerald]

Unfortunately no.. not sure what I should do.. and I got another mini dump also. I rolled back the drivers for the video card and that didn't work, but it was the only thing I could think of since I don't know how to read mini dump files. any advice would be wonderful
