Weird BSOD

I got a BSOD three times in the course of a day. Each time it was the same "PROCESS_HAS_LOCKED_PAGES" error. It didn't point to any specific driver and I also checked EventViewer for more clues without luck.

The first time it happened as I shut down GRID. Second time right after I finished the "safely remove drive" dialog for my MP3 player, and the third time just now as my computer was shutting down.

Running up-to-date Vista Ultimate x64 SP1. Any idea what's causing it?

Your creative soundcard drivers. Try updating or rolling back a looong way.

Funny thing about, I'm actually running the Vista drivers that came with the CD. It's the only way to get the CMSS-3D to work. I added the TrackLockedPages value to the registry so that in case it happens again, the memory dump reveals the name of the driver.

Guess I'll have to install the latest beta Creative drivers (and ruin my surround sound in the process).

Or just buy a new sound card that isn't made by Creative. I'm liking my M-Audio.

I don't care for Creative's business practices, but I've only had my X-Fi Extreme Gamer for a couple months and the sound quality is brilliant.
