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.

No dmp files included in upload try this method.




To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.



To ensure minidumps are enabled:

Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.

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

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.
