Several BSODs problem: irql rdr_fil system_thread bad_pool

Since a few months back my PC has been acting up. I've always had problems with the gfx-card, but a lot of people seem to have issues with their gigabyte 560Ti OC.

As for the gfx-card I had to down clock it and update BIOS. It's so so stable at the moment. I still get glitches in GFX-programs and some games. With the latest nvidia driver i even got PSOD(purple screen of death), but it seems to be a driver issue with this specific model from gigabyte. I have planned to go and RMA it but before I do that I want to make sure if the GFX-card is the root to my bsods.

So since a few months back I've been getting "random" bsods. Usually when I'm working with 3d-modelling applications but also a few instances when watching video.

I'm suspecting my external audio card since I've had problems(thou not bsod) with it on other rigs, and this is the first time I run it in a x64 environment.

I've attached the files needed(from the guidline post) to the post.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Most recent related to memory corruption after your computer was up for over two days straight. This by itself can cause crashes.

That having been said there are a few things that need to be addressed before we can investigate the true cause.


1-Avast. Remove and replace with MSE

Avast can be a contributing cause of BSOD'S . Please remove and replace with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST


http://files.avast.com/files/eng/aswclear5.exe

Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows


2-DTSOFTBUS01. A known cause of BSOD's.

Please remove any CD visualization programs such as Daemon Tools and Alcohol 120%.

They use a driver, found in your dmp, called sptd.sys, that is notorious for causing BSODs.

Use this SPTD uninstaller DuplexSecure - Downloads DuplexSecure - FAQ

when you're done you can use this Freeware:

MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD-ROM (MagicDisc) in its place

Using MagicISO to create ISO image files


3-Suspect but no info

ffSaffireLE_1394_x64.sys

If you continue to crash after these please upload the dmps and we can investigate further

I don't restart the computer very often, I guess I should shut it down at least once every day.

1. I only installed Avast two days ago after the second last BSOD to scan for viruses, but I'll uninstall it anyway.

2. I uninstalled Daemon Tools Lite with ccleaner then I downloaded the program you linked to. When I run it "uninstall" is greyed out, so perhaps ccleaner removed the driver for me?

Is it possible that my gfx-card is the source of these problems or can I rule it out for the time being?
Thanks a lot for the help!

1. I only installed Avast two days ago after the second last BSOD to scan for viruses, but I'll uninstall it anyway. As I said there was nothing definitive re: Avast just giving you all the info.

2. I uninstalled Daemon Tools Lite with ccleaner then I downloaded the program you linked to. When I run it "uninstall" is greyed out, so perhaps ccleaner removed the driver for me? You may have to re-install then remove with their un-install tool.

Is it possible that my gfx-card is the source of these problems or can I rule it out for the time being? Nothing in the current crashes points to the GPU
Thanks a lot for the help!

Lets wait and see if another crash occurs.

so the computer crashed again just now. I was playing a game when graphics started to glitch and audio suddenly began to crackle.
Then it all turned black and rebooted. No blue screen.
As far as I can tell this has never happened before. I'm going to disconnect the external audio card for now but I find it strange that it would start acting up now the last couple of months after functioning like normal for so long.
Oh and I did all the things you wrote before this happened.

Ok, here are the logs
