Recently I have been getting a blue screen while playing games on my computer, usually types like Nancy Drew, or Hidden Object types...nothing really elaborate...lol......I have played these same type of games on this computer for years now with no problems

the Stop Error Screen says to check that I have adequate disk space, or if a driver is identified in the stop message to disable the driver or update it

then it says to check for BIOS updates and or Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing

Technical Information :
***STOP: 0X00000008E (0XC0000090, 0XBAA70C5C, 0XB1E597B4, 0X0000000)

Conclusion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is really responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

The other option is that this could be a infection.
That file is associated with creative sound cards.
