BSOD Errors! *updated*

My system :

intel core2duo 2.4ghz
4gb 800 Mhz dd2 XMS2 Corsair
Asus p5nsli mobo
onboard sound
geforce 8800 GTS 640mb
550watt NZXT PSU
250gb WD2500JS

I keep getting frequent BSOD errors when I play graphic intensive games. It's not an overheating issue cause I have monitors up and its clearly far below the overheating marks. Ive checked my mobo/cpu/gpu temps and they are all fine.

Ive attached 5 dump files ( all today ) . Some reason I cant get the symbols path to set properly. If someone could open them and take alook it would be much appreciated.

I'm trying to figure out just which hardware device is the issue. I know somethings wrong, but I need help to narrow it down.

Your mindumps point to the following:

wdmaud.sys - a core driver for Windows and is a process for MMSYSTEM/MIDI API mapping; sound card driver

Ventrilo.exe - a third party driver for the Ventrilo program that from what I can gather is a voice communication program

splitter.sys - Microsoft Kernel Audio Splitter

ks.sys - another core driver for Windows and Audio

See this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920872

* You have audio issues; it could be Ventrilo is the culprit here.

Google ks.sys because Microsoft has info on that as a stand-alone.

Ok , checking into that now. Thanks alot ! will post updates!

Uninstalled previous card drivers, and disabled the card in bios (onboard). Installed a brand new X-FI Xtreme Gamer card w/ current drivers and still getting some BSOD's. Could you tell me if these are still sound issues?

if so, is there some way to know if the previous drivers were properly un-installed?

see attachments

Did you recently install anything?

ks.sys once, wdmaud.sys twice, and ntkrpamp.exe once.

I suggest googling the current driver for your audio card and see if there are known issues.

I uninstalled the drivers for the onboard card, but Im still seeing the control panel for it, and other things which leads to believe its still partially installed. I don't know if its messed up in the registry or not.

I have a brand new pci card installed w/ up to date drivers but Im still getting audio issues.

Makes me wonder if i need to zero out my drive to make sure theres nothing possibly left on it? ( really dont want to)

edit ** ran msconfig and noticed that it was still loading something w/ the old sound drivesr in the startup, so i took that out and will post an update **

recent crash, still audio?

One of those has crashed at IRQL 1c, and this is a strong sign of a hardware problem. The major cause is RAM then CPU.

You can try running Memtest, or a better test is to only run one stick of RAM at a time. Swap them over if it still crashes, or after a period of time where it hasn't crashed.

BugCheck 1000000A, {4, 1c, 1, 805017ea} <-- IRQL 1c
Probably caused by : ntkrpamp.exe ( nt!KiTimerExpiration+88 )
