Windows 10 issues crash due to DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION error
Hello, everyone. There seems to be a Windows crash issue with the DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION error. It's hard to pinpoint the exact cause. Could you assist in identifying the root problem? I've found it might be related to a driver issue, but I'm not sure which one. The attached DMP file is available. Thank you ahead of time! UPD: Memory check completed and no issues detected.
This bugcheck only occurs when Driver Verifier is active, so why is it enabled? What settings were used? Driver Verifier is a troubleshooting tool for spotting problematic drivers; it’s not typical to leave it on unless you’re actively diagnosing. The dump provided doesn’t clearly explain the issue. IOMMU detected a driver misusing DMA, but the device node address needed to identify the device isn’t present in the dump. Therefore, I can’t determine the exact cause from this data alone. Unless you’re working on a specific problem, you should disable Driver Verifier by running the command verifier /reset.
it seems the verifier flags were not activated, only one of your drivers is being flagged by automatic checks.
I recommend removing any special drivers or hardware you don’t use.
If you’re using everything, enter BIOS and disable any device you don’t need.
When necessary, make adjustments in BIOS and save the changes so the BIOS updates its hardware configuration.
This should refresh the hardware settings database that BIOS sends to Windows.
I’d also open the Windows Control Panel and Device Manager.
Look for the option to reveal hidden devices, enable it, then remove any greyed-out entries listed.
Additionally, run cmd.exe as an administrator and execute
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
(this should resolve issues with modified Windows files, though it may affect programs that altered them).
(I assume these changes came from the hardware copy protection software) (Aladdin Knowledge Systems – out of business?)
when changing the memory dump type to kernel and supplying a memory.dmp file, I can identify the device responsible for the issue. You may be able to locate a problematic device in Device Manager, remove it, and then reinstall Windows to resolve the problem. Once you determine the device, you could execute verifier.exe to instruct Windows to exclude the driver from automatic testing. Please note: running (version uncertain)
