    G15 screen driver is called Game Panel software.
    Thats it.

    It sounds to me like you need to do a total uninstall of drivers/software that has to do with anything G15. There is a free and excellent Registry Cleaner called RegCleaner and you can it from Majorgeeks.com. Once installed look for anything that has to do with this software under the Uninstall Tab.

    Now messing with the registry can be tricky so if you are going to delete make sure it is only for this software.

    Utilize your search function found in your Start Menu. Go to File and Folders, type in Logitech and do a search. Right click to delete.

    Do the same for ventrilo and game panel.

    0xD1 error and it cites a Widows driver but in the mix is ctaud2k.sys which is a Creative Audio Driver (WMD) and it could nott be loaded.

    Also, keep in mind, just because a software is shut-down/disabled doesn't mean that all drivers of said software are inactive.

    so you want to say, that this last BSOD is not connected to previous ones?

    We can't say with any finality because the previous one couldn't identify the offending driver. Also, keep in mind that the Creative driver couldn't load and not that it was cited as the probable cause. You may want to uninstall and reinstall or update your Creative software to see if that brings stability.

    Same read as post #42: 0x50 error but could not read offending driver.

    Uninstall Gamepanel. Do you still get BSODs?

    Also, what did you do about your Creative drivers?

    Okay, same error codes same read-out. however, every one also cites the Windows driver portcls.sys and so I decided to do some research on this one. it seems to have something to do with Audio controller.

    Remember that Creative sound driver ctaud2k.sys your one minidump cited earlier?

    Did you try to uninstall and then reinstall or update?

    It may come down to you needing to uninstall all the peripheral drivers and doing a Windows repair and then reinstalling your peripherals one at a time.

    i have new idea about those BSODs
    it seems i get BSOD when 2-3 programs are using my sound card (eq2, ventrilo, browser with youtube or something else.)

    Do you get them at any other time? We've already seen Creative drivers in the mix.
