Hey All,

Have been having various problems with my windows 10 (even after a fresh install last night) and PC lately as it has been constantly blue screening with various errors.

I have ran memtest for 9 and a half hours and didn't find any issues - have updated all my old drivers and even tried uninstalling certain programs to try and fix this issue, which is still happening.

Here is a link to some of my minidumps - most seemed to be the cause of ntoskrnl.exe and win32kbase.sys. I feel like the BSOD's usually occur when I'm playing music or listening to something through discord, google chrome etc.

Minidumps: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7r7e4yh7y51p540/AADj6U1ImmieZddNr9XrtWVga?dl=0

PC specs are 4770k (not overclocked), MSI B85-e45, 16gb ram (ripjaws), Sandisk SSD and Seagate barracuda HDD, Asus Xonar DGX, Galax gtx 1060 6gb and a 520w Antec PSU with 80+ Bronze efficiency.

Cheers for any help

Many of them mention cmudaxp.sys which is C-Media Audio Interface Driver (WDM) (Can be part of ASUS Xonar DG Audio Interface driver )
You have a Xonar so that is a clue - latest driver is from 23rd Oct 2015, so its a little newer than the one you are using now: https://www.asus.com/au/Sound-Cards/Xonar_DGX/HelpDesk_Download/

strange it got a bsod caused by the Realtek lan drivers since they appear to be very new.

NTOSKRNL = windows kernel. It handles all driver requests, power management, and memory management. It sits between Hardware and Applications. It got blamed but its not the cause

so saying it crashed is nothing new, but I will ask someone to read dumps and we see what actual cause might be

Have you downloaded Live update 6 from your motherboard web site - Its under utilities here: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/B85M-E45.html#down-driver&Win10%2064
run that and check you have latest drivers
