Hi,

The root cause is memory corruption. The memory corruption can be caused by faulty ram or software driver error. I think kmixer is the victim and not the culprit. From your module list, I cannot figure out which device driver is in error.

Suggestion
1. Check the temperature of the CPU and make sure that it is not overheat (ie temperature < 60C)
2. Reseat the memory stick to another memory slot
3. Downclock the ram
4. Clean the dust inside the computer case
5. Make sure that the ram is compatible to the motherboard

If it still crashes, diagnostic which memory stick is faulty
Take out one memory stick. If windows does not crash, the removed memory stick is faulty.
