    BSOD kernel security check failure


    I've had my PC for around four months and about two weeks ago I've started getting kernel security check failure blue screens. It's impossible to do school work. Updated and checked every driver using driver verifier and tested my memory with memtest86. Updated BIOS and even clean installed Windows 10 using their media creation software tool and ISO. Attachment 63416 Also, I've had problems with Windows start menu not opening and requiring me to restart windows explorer through task manager and I've also had what I believe to be memory leaks, as I have 16GB of ram and 100% of it being used at start up with nothing running in the background. If any of that helps.

    Hi Strat,

    Welcome to the 10forums.

    It looks like most of the crashes are caused by a Xbox driver, if no Xbox device is connected when the crashes occur please proceed to the troubleshooting instructions below.
    If any Xbox device is connected, please reinstall/update the drivers and/or disconnect it.
    Code:
    dc1-controller	Xbox Peripherals Driver	c:\windows\system32\drivers\dc1-controller.sys

    Thanks for the feedback. I have a Xbox One controller and headset connected and use the Xbox app included with Windows 10. On the Xbox support site they clearly state that:
    • Drivers for Xbox controllers are included with Windows 10, so you won't have to download or install software other than Windows 10 updates.

    By keeping your device up-to-date, you'll ensure that you're always running the latest software or hardware drivers, as we frequently fix known issues.
    To check for the latest updates for your Windows 10-based device:

    1. Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the Windows icon in the lower-left corner of the main screen.
    2. Select Settings, and then select Update & Security.
    3. On the Windows Update tab, select Check now to see if any updates are available for your device.
    4. Once the updates have downloaded, select Install now to start the installation.

    I'll be sure to uninstall them and reinstall them anyway seeing as how Microsoft can't manage their Updates and drivers correctly.

    Why is driver verifier enabled? You can't simply enable driver verifier unless instructed by an analyst as it may cause your system to become unbootable.
    Please disable driver verifier
    • Open an admin command prompt
    • Enter "verifier/reset" (without quotes)


    Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
    Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

    1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
    2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
      • Double click the executable to open it
      • Click on the button shown below


    If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window

    The last crash was unable to create a dump of it and without dump I can't interpret something about it because the kernel security crash isn't a crash that is specific related to something.
    This means that we now do need driver verifier.



    Diagnostic Test

     DRIVER VERIFIER


    warning   Warning
    Please make a backup of your important files and get your rescue media or create one.
    Please create a restore point.

    Please follow this tutorial to run driver verifier.

    Driver verifier stresses your drivers and will crash your pc if any driver fails due to a violation.

    Driver verifier should be performed for a max of 48 hours, or when you have a bluescreen, whatever comes first.

    If driver verifier has found a violation and you can't get back into windows normally, try to boot into safe mode and reset in safe mode driver verifier, or in the troubleshooting options open command prompt and type verifier /reset.

    Note   Note
    Your system will act very sluggishly while driver verifier is enabled, this is normal as your drivers will be being subjected to heavy testing in order to make them crash.
