I get this problem once every 4 or 5 days and only after just loading into windows never when windows has been running, I'm guessing is a startup related problem but I don't know it could be a faulty ram, sound card, windows itself etc. What's the first step to getting this clarified??

it doesn't happen all the time tho. I found an article that describes kinda the troubleshooting steps http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-7-stop-errors-or-blue-screens-guide

from my video I can't find the stop error code maybe you guys can help me find it on event viewer to start onto some diagnosis.
 
If I were you I would start with getting the dump file , if you can.

Launching into safe mode would also be a good start to see if removing certain programs and drivers stop the issue

I don't know if it's obvious ,but removing any over clocks or ram timing changes and setting everything back to factory stock

only after just loading into windows
try & keep your phone or another type of recording device to capture the crash and any messages etc.. leave it next to your PC, and hopefully move quickly

This will help with Interpreting bsod files

Find out how to turn off automatic restarts in windows 10 when bsod occurs, find out how to make w10 show the old bsod instead of the sad face emoji like macncrap shows

Sudden system shutdown most of the time is bad ram #1. Could you please post your system specs?

can be a bad hsf mount too for overheat, but todays boards if the hsf is on too tight it causes ram issues due to warping

yes I updated them on my tab. I'll have my phone ready and will find out about getting a dump/bsod file and use the utility and disable automatic restart but I like that face.

I have an H70 Corsair on the cpu and it didn't give me problems until I put windows 10.
 
BugCheckCode 209 is DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Can be a buggy driver, bad RAM stick, wrong BIOS configuration, and if your overclocking: low voltage.

Run MemTest86 first and then Prime95 version 26.6 on Blend.

my audigy2zs uses a driver that's not official cause official won't record audio from microphone well. Might be a bug in win10 it worked without crashes on 7.
