Dragonsissiy Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 On Tuesday I began experiencing a BSOD, so I tested all my RAM sticks. One ended up being bad so I removed it. Tested the remaining sticks again and they were fine. Had the computer running for two hours last night (without my headset dongle plugged in) and it was fine; no blue screens. I came home today thinking I resolved my BSODs by removing my bad ram, only to find 10 minutes after starting my computer, and as soon as I plugged in the dongle (the extended one) I got another BS that I got a few days ago. I rebooted my system (with it still plugged in) and the computer would have a black screen after the windows logo. So I unplugged it and rebooted again; it came up fine. I'm assuming this blue screen has to do with the driver for the headset. That makes sense, because when I first bought the headset I went to the manufacturer website like the instructions said, to grab the driver and download it. After installing the driver and rebooting, my computer constantly blue screened and boot looped. I had to boot to safe mode and remove the driver for the computer to boot again. So I'm here because after hours of google searching I couldn't find a close enough match to my exact problem, especially since at the same time I happened to be having a failing RAM stick. So a quick point of what I did: Memtested all sticks, removed the bad stick of ram. QT Extended test of hardware, everything passed. Recently removed the Vengeance headset sofware, (after the reboot that worked) I initially tested the ram because of a lock up during playing Don't Starve, then a day later a BS while playing League of Legends CurrentBSODs.txt SystemInfoForBS.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Have you tried the generic audio drivers to see your computer still BSODs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyx Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Happened to me when I installed the driver the first time, got BSOD and messy sound. Completely removed the driver and reinstalled it, which fixed it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonsissiy Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yes I do have my generic audio drivers installed, and I tried uninstalling the driver completely and reinstalling, but it resulting in the same BSOD looping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted March 2, 2013 Corsair Employee Share Posted March 2, 2013 Try the headset on a different system to ensure its not the dongle giving you problems. If it is the dongle, we can replace it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonsissiy Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 The dongle isn't the only thing that causes blue screens. The driver itself when installed(from your website), will cause the computer to blue screen on restart, and continually blue screen untill the driver is uninstalled. You have to go into safemode to remove it I might add, you can't even get back into windows normally. I've tested installing that driver on 3 different computers, all different types, and got the same exact result. As for graphics drivers, yes I have the latest directx and graphic card drivers.
