an unknown blue screen

Ok so i was in the middle of installing counter strike source, each time i would go to disc 2 during the installation, I would get this bsod while it was installing. I cant take any pictures because it goes by way too fast, I got the minidump file if someone wants to take a look at it and help me out.

Minidump.zip <--- mini dump

Bugcheck:

*******************************************************************************
* *
* Bugcheck Analysis *
* *
*******************************************************************************
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000007e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 81cfa010, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 88b57b78, Exception Record Address

If the memory couldn't be referenced run the memory diagnostic as well as looking at your hard drive for errors with chkdsk. Also, update your video and sound drivers.

Re: an unknown blue screen

Open up the start menu, type mem and press enter. Reboot and wait. Then right click on your drive and in the tools tabs choose check now for errors and tick both boxes reboot. Also make sure your sound driver is up to date.

Re: an unknown blue screen

ok i ran the memory tool and it turns out there were no errors so i guess all there is left is to update the sound driver, can you help me with this?

Chkdsk too. After that open up the start menu, type dxdiag, then navigate to the sound tab and post what device you have. Also search for device and in device manager look for the sound controller. Make sure its the same as dxdiag. Then post what audio device you have.

Re: an unknown blue screen

ok for dxdiag, it said conexant High Definition Smartaudio and for device Manager it had the same thing but had 221 so i would assume its the same thing, but it also had something called Nvidia high definition audio as well.

Re: an unknown blue screen

Can you right click on your speaker icon select playback devices and the one with the tick, update that one. It might also say working.

Re: an unknown blue screen

If it said updated, skip the other instructions, and start chkdsk, as above. Then install the software. Make sure Vista is fully updated, along with SP2.
