Driver Verifier needs to run for 24 hours minimum - even if the status screen appears clear. If a VERIFIER_ENABLED BSOD occurs, please get the dump file from c: windows minidump, zip it up. With the help of the driver Verifier the user can check and identify whether the driver is causing issue in the window 10 system. NOTE: The user should backup all the important data and files. He should only Run Driver verifier on test computer or on the computer that he is testing and debugging.
I’m running Windows 10 Pro on a desktop with a I7 processor and 16 gigs of ram. The system is full patched from the Windows update built into Windows. I manually run it weekly to keep Windows updated.
This was a clean installation of Windows 10 from two years ago. I’ve kept the system very clean with ESET anti-virus and Malwarebytes 3 cloud version. The system has been very stable with virtually no problems. I’ve been working in tech support for windows for ten years so I’m fairly familiar in maintaining and troubleshooting technical issues.
Windows 10 Free Upgrade
Two weeks ago, I received my first BSOD on this Win 10 Pc. I installed Nirsoft Blue Screen Viewer but it didn’t provide much info on the cause and I don’t have much experience in determining what driver could have cause it.
This morning I received another BSOD and tried investigating. I googled it and found the Windows Driver Verifier mentioned in Windows. I ran it and selected the only driver it found it said was unsigned. I rebooted and everything was fine. Nirsoft Blue Screen viewer mentioned the dump was in NsKernl
So I added Nskernl as a 2nd driver to check in Driver Verifier and upon restarting, I received two BSOD’s. Windows went into an automatic repair and reverted to an earlier version. That worked and now it’s running again. I’m assuming I should not add that driver into Driver Verifier any more.
I ran Nirsoft Blue Screen viewer and it said the dump was caused by a DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION. I have a minidump but I received a message when trying to attach it that that type of file could not be uploaded.
Can you review this and let me know what I should do? I’m not sure what direction I should go.
Thanks,
Tony
