Recurring BSODs usually 0x000000F4

[Cragman]

Hi all,

I've been having trouble with BSODs for some time now. I have no idea of the cause, as WhoCrashed gives either vague information or blames my webcam (weird?), and I would like to see if someone can point me in the right direction before I start re-installing Windows 7. This isn't because I can't be bothered to re-install it, it's only because I'm half way through a musical project which requires this PC, and much of what I need to finish the project is a little bit hit and miss on the software side of things - VSTs and plugins are routed all over the place and I don't wanna mess stuff up.

WhoCrashed has given me two reasons for the BSODs: my Logitech c920 webcam; and a kernel driver issue. I've attempted to reinstall and webcam drivers and it seems to have made no difference.

I've attached the necessary dump file which is detailed on the "how to" page for this forum.

Cheers,

Craig
