BSOD involving Volsnap.sys

[LimaZulu]

Every once in a while, my system will quit processing and eventually blackscreen, no shutdown. Other times it goes straight to a blue screen. They might not be related, though. Anywho, I know definitely there's definitely a Volsnap.sys issue since it's been telling me that. Attached is my SFDiag report for anyone who can help me out.
