Hello and welcome to Techspot.

3 of your miniumps crash at cmaudio.sys. This is your sound driver.

Try uninstalling, and reinstalling your soundcard drivers with the latest versions.

2 of you minidumps crash at Sacm2K.sys. I can`t find any info for this driver. Do you recognise it? Possibly a satalite modem?

You might also want to go HERE and follow the instructions.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

wasnt a sat modem, it was my bluetooth device i forgot to mention on my system. thanks loads howard, updated software for c media, there sites down for the downloads so i did my best with what i could find on the net, if prob continues ill let u kno
cheers

Of your 3 minidumps.

1 is corrupt, and unreadable. Possible ram problem?

1 crashes at Sacm2K.sys, and a bugcheck of 8E.

1 crashes at Sacm2K.sys, and a bugcheck of D1.

Sacm2K.sys. Your bluetooth adapetr is causing most of your problems. Try uninstalling it, and see if the crashes go away.

Did you run the memory diagnostics in the link I gave you?

If so what were the results?

Regards Howard

 

[rastaXcore]

yea i ran that link before u even gave it me lol, and i already took that bluetooth adapter off so beats me what it is.

You need to uninstall the bluetooth drivers as well.

[rastaXcore]

where do i find them cause i did uninstall, and btw what prog u use to read those minidumps?

 

[howard_hopkinso]

Possibly you`ll find them in add remove programmes in your control panel.

I use windbg to read minidumps. It is part of the debugging tools for Windows suite.

If you would like to be able to read miniumps. Take a look at this short tutorial HERE

Regards Howard

 

[rastaXcore]

thats great much apreciated, i have already removed all the bluetooth stuff so maybe that doesnt belong to the bluetooth device, beats me

 

[howard_hopkinso]

I suppose that`s possible. I know I couldn`t find any useful info on the Sacm2K.sys file.

Regards Howard

 

[rastaXcore]

yeah i searched when u told me too i couldnt find much apart from like u say a sat modem think ill get a new mobo asrock suck

 

[howard_hopkinso]

I can`t see anything in your minidumps that would suggest it`s a mobo problem.

I have a feeling that the Sacm2K.sys file is part of your modem drivers.

Try uninstalling your modem, and see what happens. If the crashes then stop, get another modem.

Other than that, I`m out of ideas.

Could be. Install the drivers for it, and cross your fingers lol.

Good luck.
