Randomly occuring BSODs, probably caused by drivers
This custom built computer has a history of random bsods. The four most recent took place in a period of over a year. There was only one obvious pattern to the crashes: The sound card was in use.
The computer is normally left in hibernation and has never crashed when I wasn't using it.
Whocrashed claims this is likely a driver issue and not a hardware issue. Ram memory has been checked extensively twice. I had memcheck run two 10-hour sessions. No errors detected.
1: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (i was listening to spotify)
2: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (i was listening to spotify)
3: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (i was watching youtube)
4: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (i was watching youtube) (this was the most recent crash)
After crashes 1 and 2 I decided to remove my external soundcard. Now I'm using only the on board soundcard on my motherboard.
There are crashes further back in history. The earliest crashes were caused by a faulty power supply which messed up ram performance. It was fixed.
