Hi,
I've got a Toshiba Satellite laptop with XP Home and SP2 (which caused no probs at the time of the upgrade nor after). My problem is my sound card, Crystal WDM Audio Codec, is causing Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) if it is activated. If i disable it, my system/laptop is completely stable--without any sound of course!

I've removed and re-installed the sound card countless times, sometimes in normal mode, sometimes in safe mode. I get an immediate BSOD or, on a good day, I get about 45min of sound and then the BSOD.

i've completely deleted all files associated with the sound card (or so i think: cwawdm.sys, drmk.sys, portcls.sys, stream.sys, ksproxy.ax, ksuser.dll, wdmaud.drv) and manually "updated" the driver by choosing the folder with the 3 files (cwawdm.inf, cwawdm.sys, pw4100.cat) on my desktop that came directly from Toshiba's website. i've done the same process but with the standard XP drivers. again, if i'm lucky the sound works for maybe 45 minutes and then blue screens me (see specific error msgs below).

on another website a guy thought it might be a problem with my memory and so i RERAN the Microsoft Windows Memory Diagnostic and let it have 3 passes, all with zero errors.

I've tried restoring my computer to a date way before the issue started, again, to no avail.

what errors I get:
most frequently...
