BSOD when switching to HTPC input
I've got a HTPC which is hooked up to my receiver/TV, and is on all the time even though the receiver is typically. Most of the time everything works perfectly, but occasionally when I want to watch XBMC, I'll use my remote to turn on the TV and receiver, and then the computer blue screens. It happens about 1 in 10 times or so, and I've only seen it when I use the remote (and not manually turn on the TV and receiver). The HTPC has a USB infrared receiver for controlling XBMC. That leads me to believe that the problem is either in graphics drivers or possibly the IR driver.
The crash logs seem to indicate that the problem is caused by ks.sys, but I don't know what that is and it seems to be a core system component.
One other thing, this issue only started happening recently when I replaced my old MB/CPU with a newer one. I didn't reinstall windows and everything seemed to be working fine, except for this issue. Reinstalling might fix this issue, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible.
