After discovering the original reason for the crashes I posted about here, I wound up not having any audio from my PC. The crash that caused this was a DPC Watchdog Violation. Upon further inspection, I found that the audio drivers for Realtek HD audio are missing from the device manager even when showing hidden devices, however is present in the "Apps & Features" window.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers from the Lenovo support site, as well as loading a restore point, to no avail. I remember having this exact problem before when my PC was under warranty, and vaguely remember something about fiddling with the BIOS settings fixing it at that time. I chose to open a new post because I feel this is a separate problem. Thank you. Let me know if any more information is needed
