[SOLVED] PC Freeze with audio stutter/buzz during gaming.

[gomer6561]

My PC has been doing this since I built it. I thought it could be because of the cheap sound card I was using so I replaced that and it happened again last night. I also recently purchased a new M2 ssd and did a fresh install of windows with a clean wipe of the old SSD. GEForce drivers are up to date. I also withheld the GPU sound drivers from the install because I thought it could be the drivers fighting each other. I also have mobo sound disabled in the BIOS. The new soundcard is a Soundblaster Z Gaming. The reason I need a sound card is my headset is wireless and connects via optical port and my MOBO doesn't have one.

The freeze is completely random and I cannot replicate. It happens on all the games I play. It could be an hour into gaming or 4 hours or not at all. Once the computer freezes it eventually reboots itself after about 15 seconds.

I am still running the original BIOS version which came out of the box (F2).

Here is the crash log:

I have read a bunch of threads similar to my issue but no real fix.

Have you ever had it happen with no soundcard installed? They aren't necessary

As I stated in the original message I have to have a soundcard in because my Mobo does not have an Optical Out jack, which I need for my Steel Series wireless headphones

The question still stands. I'm trying to isolate the issue

Unfortunately I only have this headset, so I haven't attempted any games without a sound card plugged into the mobo

bsod 3b is usually a graphic's driver (display adapter/video driver), other possibilities include
but are not limited to antivirus/antispyware/security programs and even memory (mapping).

btw u got access violation error, so u should enable driver verifier to get more meaningful dumps

Before doing a cleanwipe and using a new SSD I was using Avast antivirius. Thinking it could have something to do with it I switched to Kaspersky Free. Same crash. I will enable Driver Verifier.

Enabling Driver Verifier sent pc into Blue screen startup loop. I had to run safe mode and disable Driver Verifier for PC to properly boot.
