Hello!
I have BSOD problems with ntoskrnl.exe mainly on my laptop.

Usually BSOD appears when I work with DAW.

Tested by sfc /scannow - I fixed some errors before, in this moment it's ok, but BSODs still appears. No errors with memory tests.

Could you help with it?

Here is my dump files:

That error mentions ks again, so it looks like its the webcam again

Best way to figure out what is using that driver would be to look in system information/Components and look at the areas like sound devices or inputs as that is most likely devices to use the USB driver as this is just a default driver for USB devices.

Do you have a video camera? Ks.sys is a kernel file tied to video camera on PC. I don't see an obvious camera driver on laptop website. tbh, I am not sure what it would be on there.

Non RU model of laptop (only so I can read it) - https://www.samsung.com/hk_en/support/model/NP470R5E-X01HK/

I have asked a friend to convert dumps

Thanks for your reply.
I have only built-in Webcam SC-10HDD12636P on my laptop. It works normally. Driver vers. 6.3.9600.17217 (21.06.2006). Try to update it, but not successfully.

Comment: I'm seeing 2 different motherboards so these dump files are from 2 different systems. I also got the "2 or more types of RAMs" notice which likely just means each motherboard had a different type of RAM (they didn't match between the 2 boards).

The first 4 dumps are probably from the newer system while the rest are from the older system.

We can't debug 2 different systems at the same time.

Possible current motherboard: SEC_SW_REVISION_1234567890ABCD ?

This information can be used by others to help you. Someone else will post with more information. Please wait for additional answers. Good luck.

the errors on 6th, 8th & 10th (if on newest board) all blame E-MU USB-Audio 1.0 Driver
Nov 26 2007emusba10.sysE-MU USB-Audio 1.0 driver (E-MU Systems)

its getting a little long in the tooth. Even for win 8.1 standards. See if anything newer.

2 computers? one install? What you doing? moving installs?

Thanks to all for your answers!
At the beginning of June I upgraded my laptop with new bigger memory RAM (AMD instead Samsung) and also installed another modification of BIOS. The motherboard is the same. Sorry that I forgot to mention it.

You are absolutely right, because usually problems appears with Cubase DAW and EMU-0404 USB external sound card. The main sin was on old driver (2007) and I have found beta-version (2010) for this audio card EMUU_PCAppDrv_US_1_40_00_BETA.exe and updated old driver a few days ago. No I'm testing how it works.

For my disappointed this good quality sound card is out of support too many years and there is not enough good stability drivers.

By the way could you suppose what does
usbccgp.sys (dump #5, May 29) mean ?
I connect my EMU-0404usb on USB-2.0.
Maybe problem with USB-2.0 also? But any others devices works always normally with it.
