Blue Screen Code 3b

Welcome to the forums Nathan. Please post your computer hardware specs; mobo, graphics card, memory, psu, etc., or make and model if it's an OEM computer, and which operating system you're running. Stop error code 0x3b is a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and can be caused by a wide range of conditions. By the way, your link is broken.
 
The dump refers to svchost.exe, which doesn't help as that app can span multiple applications. Can you tell us what the computer was doing when the blue screen occurred?
 
ASROCK 77pro9 - I7 377K @ 3.4GHz
2X 8GB RAM (Totally drawn a black on the make. But they are the same)
Segate ST31000524AS 3.5 inch TB Hard Drive
GeForce Nvidia 660TI

Coolmaster Elite 430

I have the analysis in a notepad document but I dont know if i can upload it?

Might just be my browser (FF 22.0) but this is the page I get when clicking your link:

As was suggested earlier you could use WhoCrashed or BlueScreen Viewer to analyze the dump file, but if you already got it in Notepad simply copy and paste it into your next post. The SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION error is often caused by a graphics driver update that's misbehaving.

You might try rolling back your current Nvidia driver to an earlier version and make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed. Also check recent Windows updates to see if any drivers (that you might be unaware of) got automatically updated with Microsoft versions that replaced the original.

Works fine on my Firefox 22. Might be an add-on misbehaving. Here are some of the details:

As you pointed out, it does seem to be coming from a driver.

In red is what i believe is the driver for a program called "soundtap" which i have now uninstalled, therefore removing the driver in the process. I wonder if this was the driver causing the trouble.
Your Opinions?
 
Thanks ketchup...@ Nathan; use BlueScreen Viewer to analyze that dump file with, as it outputs a report that will suggest the executable/driver/process that actually caused the crash rather than the executable/driver/process that prompted the bug check (svchost.exe).

For anyone who missed it, link to dropbox where i uploaded the dump file

Sorry, you posted the complete dump report while I was still composing my previous post. The stdriverx64.sys belongs to SoundTap Audiostream-Rekorder developed by NCH Software. So if you have that streaming audio software installed on your computer it appears the driver needs to be updated with a version that's compatible with Windows 7.

Thanks for your help, bubbaleone. I uninstalled the program as it goes unused anyway so the drivers are no long on my pc. Lets hope thats fixed the problem 🙂

You're welcome, but my thanks to ketchup79 for ponting me in the right direction. I've found that even after uninstalling certain softwares some components continue to be loaded (or attempt to be loaded) during the boot process or at login, and can continue to be a problem. The very best tool for viewing and disabling any problematic driver, process, service, or related registry entries is Autoruns for Windows v11.62 by TechNet's Mark Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell.
