BSOD is pretty rare these days, but when it does occur it is very likely to be due to a driver problem, If your IDT drivers are the same as you were using before (which we're not 100% certain about but sounds likely) then the finger is pointing at VAC.

This will be tough to troubleshoot as Audacity does not officially support Windows 8, and neither does the m-Audio Fast Track Pro. Does the pop occur at regular intervals? If so, how often?
