Computer Started Blue Screening recently

[AnarchyOfDucks]

As of today my computer has started randomly crashing and i cant seem to fix it. I built my computer myself so i cannot give a brand/model but if its important i can list the parts though i feel this is a driver problem. So about every 5 mins my computer decides to blue screen with this message;


🙁

I have no idea how to remove a driver and i cannot find a website to download it anyway so if anyone could help with that it would be appreciated.

It told you the audio driver cmusbdac.sys. If its onboard go to the mobo manufacturer's site then update them

Sorry im not sure i understand how to do what you said i tried going to a website to update the drivers ( https://www.cmedia.com.tw/support/download_center ) but there does not appear to be windows 10 drivers if you could please elaborate it would be much appreciated.

 

[Paul NZ]

If it's the soundcard on the motherboard try the mobo manufacturer's site

Odd question but could this have anything to do with the new mic i got it seemed to start happening around the time i got it. It is a usb mic and it was plugged in during both crashes.

 

[Paul NZ]

Not sure about that. Upload the dmp files to onedrive then post the link. I'll see if it installed any drivers for the USB mic

But if the mic doesnt use the same drivers as the soundcard it may not be the cause

When i try to open the file it asks for my password and once i enter it i get the message access denied.

Dont open it upload it to dropbox or onedrive

When i upload the folder to onedrive it says 2 items could not be uploaded which is the contents of the folder. It wont let me move open or upload the dumb even though i am the administrator.

dump files are not owned by the user. this means you can only make a copy of the files and not move or modify them.
make a copy to another location rather than trying to move them to the new location.
