hi, i recently installed a billionton bluetooth usb class 1 onto my computer and since then my computer has been randomly restarting without warning. after the reboot a window pops up saying that windows has recovered from a serious error asking me if i want to send an error report. after i clicked send error report it said there was a problem with the drivers. heres the error report:
I've once heard about such a problem. I think it is somehow related to your USB Drivers. Try uninstalling your USB drivers and reinstalling the most new version of them.
Please update. :wave:

Hello and welcome to Techspot.
What happens if you uninstall the blutooth adapter?
Do the crashes stop?
If so, it could either be a driver issue, or a hardware compatibility issue.
If that doesn`t help. Zip 5 or 6 minidumps together, and attach them here.

When your computer automatically restarts due to a crash, or you receive a BSOD. Windows writes a minidump to the folder c:/windows/minidump
A minidump is a snapshot of what was happening at the time of the crash, and can be useful in diagnosing the problem.

all 4 of your minidumps crash with a bugcheck of 8E.
2 crash at win32k.sys. This is your Windows Multi-User Win32 Driver.
1 crashes at Nv4_mini.sys. This is your video card driver.
1 crashes with memory corruption. Self explanatory.
0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
A kernel mode program generated an exception which the error handler didn’t catch. These are nearly always hardware compatibility issues (which sometimes means a driver issue or a need for a BIOS upgrade).
I believe you may have a ram problem.
Follow the instructions in the link I gave you earlier.

thx.. my computer doesnt restart no more after cleaning the inside of my comp. but recently the random restarts are happening again.. i ran memtest but everything was fine... here are my minidumps
1 minidump crashes at nv4_mini.sys. Graphics card driver. Update your drivers.
1 minidum crashes at win32k.sys. Windows Multi-User Win32 Driver.
The bugchecks are 8E, and D1.
0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver (one that uses improper addresses). It can also be caused by caused by faulty or mismatched RAM, or a damaged pagefile.

It wouldn`t hurt to try.
See how it goes. If you have further problems, don`t hesitate to post fresh minidumps.

1 minidump crashes at watchdog.sys. This is a Windows watchdog file. I can`t find any info for this driver.
1 minidump crashes at nv4_disp.dll. Video card driver.
Both dumps have a bugcheck of 8E. they also reference Medieval_TW.exe. This the game your were playing at the time of the crashes.
Check your temperatures, and make sure your psu is putting out enough power for your system.

Maybe you`ve got a psu issue.

Your psu is located near the top of your case(it`s where your power cable connects to your computer). If you open the side panel of your case. The psu should have a label on it that says what make, and wattage it is.
I will take a look at your latest mindumps.

All your latest minidump crash at win32k.sys. 2 have a bugcheck of 8E, and 1 has a bugcheck of 4E.
0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
A kernel mode program generated an exception which the error handler didn’t catch. These are nearly always hardware compatibility issues (which sometimes means a driver issue or a need for a BIOS upgrade).
0x0000004E: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
This indicates that the memory management Page File Number list is corrupted. Can be caused by corrupt physical RAM, or by drivers passing bad memory descriptor lists.
