My laptop keeps crashing and re-booting itself. When it diagnosed why windows had shut down, it came up with that I may have a problem with my audio system. After researching this further, I have discovered that I have the Fault Bucket 0xD1_QTKVHDA+35d24, type0, but I cannot find how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
