2 minidumps crash at ntoskrnl.exe, and bugchecks of 0A, and 8E respectively. This is the Windows boot up kernel.
2 minidumps crash at smwdm.sys, and a bugcheck of D1. This is your onboard sound driver.
1 minidump crashes at ks.sys, and a bugcheck of 50. This is the Windows Kernel CSA Library.
1 minidump is corrupt and unreadable.
0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Typically due to a bad driver, or faulty or incompatible hardware or software. Technically, this error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high. (A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own.)
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).
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.
0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).
Because you minidumps seem to crash so randomly, it may well be that you have a ram problem. Please note. Some faulty ram can pass Memtest86+.
You may also have a damaged page file. In order to rule this out follow the instructions below for creating a new page file.
Right click my computer, and select properties, and then the advanced tab.
Under performance, click settings. Click on the advanced tab, and then on the change button.
Click on the custom size button, and click in the initial size box and make the size of the page file 0. Click in the maximum size box, and make the size of the page file 0.
Click set.
Now reboot your machine. After your system has restarted run a defrag.
Once the defrag has finished, go back to the pagefile settings above, and click on the change button. For the initial, and maximum pagefile size make it 1.5 times the ammount of ram your have. I.E if you have 512mb of ram set the page file to 768mb.
Click on the set button again, and reboot your system. You now have a brand new page file.
Try upgrading your OS to service pack 2.
Check your mobo for bulging, or leaking capacitors. See
HERE for further info.
Make sure your ram is compatible with your mobo.
Make sure your system isn`t overclocked in any way.
Check your temperatures.
If you have an Intel cpu with hyperthreading. Try turning off hyperthreading.
Update to the latest version of your onboard sound drivers.
