KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error message

Hi,
 
Hoping to find help with this error message. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED  (ctaud2k.sys)
 
Started about 2 months ago with Windows 7 Pro 32 bit Sp1
4G Ram
SB X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty Champion Series
Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.20GHz
 
So thinking is was a memory error I upgraded to Windows 8.1 64-bit and added 4G more Ram for a total of 8G ram
 
Still get the error
 
Any help is appreciated
 
Thanks
 
Matthew
 

see if creative have a later version of the audio sound driver, one that is supported in windows 8.1. Maybe let them know too - or disable the card if you can
 
Latest driver and for windows 8

Thanks mettelus and Jimmy Boy
 
Downloaded driver booster and it said I had the latest drivers
Also downloaded and tried creatives latest drivers for 8 (none for 8.1)
 
any other ideas?

Hi Matt,
 
I'd try talking to creative support about it, the faulting driver is creative's after all.
 
You could also try reseating the sound card, it might possibly be lose and intermittently failing or not pushed in to the PCI controller far enough.
 
If you don't need the sound card then remove it from the PC and see if you still get exceptions from other drivers.
 
Oh I also noticed there is a creative BETA driver - you may want to try that too...
 
Hope this helps..
Jim

The threads about 8.1 not supporting 8.0 drivers concern me a lot. If it is true, you will have to wait on Creative to update their drivers :(
