Hi
I am really getting tire of trying to figure out why my laptop keep getting these BSOD. First it was 1d then a 9F now it is an 8E. If I could return my laptop I probably definitely will, but I am stuck with it. So please help, I did a bug check

I have no idea what is going on and I already did a memory test.

Your minidump is 0x8E error citing ntkrnlmp.exe which is doesn't tell us much of anything.

However, in the dump a particular process was mentioned: audiodg.exe which is a driver for Vista and if you google it many people are having issues with it.

So far, from what I have been reading there doesn't seem to be a satisfying work-around yet. Some have noted that is really eats up CPU usage when in error.

Do you have a recovery disk? Perhaps that is a logical step at this point or contact your laptop manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Hey thanks for your reply, I actually do think it has something to do with the audiodg.exe. I have been getting other bluescreen too, and every time it happens about 3 second before the bluescreen the audio seem to crash, like continual repeating. I also notice that the audio is sometime distorted whenever I am playing music files or watching a movie. The weird thing is that I cant seem to find Audiodg.exe on the task manager. I try to run it, by typing it in, but nothing happens.

You're welcome. I think you found your culprit. Google it and see what is going on and if someone, anyone, has found an answer.

There has to be quite a bit of traffic over on the Microsoft/Vista forums about this. I wonder if Vista SP1 will address this issue.
