BSOD when I plug in 3,5mm jacks on my Realtek ALC888

Basic system specs:

- 64-Bit
- Reinstalled Windows 7 once sofar, and load in a backup from my previous
- Full Retail
- Hardware age about 3 years
- 3-4 months since last reinstall

The problem:

I used to have the sound over my 3,5mm jacks, which worked fine. Someday, I bought a USB Headset from Creative and used that quite a while till I wanted to use the 3,5mm jacks again.
I plugged in my speakers and they work for like 10 minutes. The PC first becomes really slow and after 30 secs, it freezes and another 30 secs, it gives me a BSOD with the text : "A process or thread crucial to system operations has been unexpectedly exited or been terminated" 0x000000F4

A program named 'Soluto' , which records any crashes, said that the 'Windows Audio Graph Device' crashed. I looked it up, and it seems to be a proces named audiodg.exe and check for DRM thingies.

What I have done sofar: Alot of google, didn't find a similar case yet, uninstalled all audio drivers ( Creative & Realtek ), checked with Driver Sweeper for left overs, deleted them.
Installed only realtek drivers, but again a BSOD.

Lets wait for the next one and if it happens upload it to us. Thanks

It only happens if I activate my realtek sound, and it will always happen if I turn it on. But on last few times, my input devices stop to work and no BSOD comes , even how long I wait

thread title does say BSOD when plugging in headphones jack so doesnt that trigger one?

Well, it will create a system freeze or a BSOD if I enable them again in system settings. Sometimes, I can hear music for like 10 mins till freeze but sometimes, it just freezes at start up already.

And if I'm lucky, a BSOD comes after some time. I know when the system freezes, but not sure when a BSOD occurs but I can try to reproduce one tomorrow if needed.
