Event ID 161 Volmgr issue

@Macboatmaster

Ok no problem.

My computer is never on during blackouts as times are specified when they occur. So im always switching off before that happens.

I will continue with the verifier for now and see if anything pops up.

Each time WDV (selecting all non-Microsoft drivers) is restarted post either:
a) a new querysettings share link (no immediate BSOD)
b) V2 log collector share link (immediate BSOD)

If a BSOD appears at a later time after WDV is running continuously post a new V2 share link into the newest post.

Tests performed:
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Drivers tested:
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Only thing ive noticed so far is restarting takes a little longer, screen goes black, monitor goes into standy-mode - takes about 15-20 seconds before its restarts properly and does its startup which goes normally.

If possible please include the querysettings results as one share link displaying tests with drivers.

Restart WDV with these customized tests:

Code:

    
    [ ] 0x00000200 Force pending I/O requests.
    [ ] 0x00000010 I/O verification.
    [ ] 0x00000400 IRP logging.
    [ ] 0x00002000 Invariant MDL checking for stack.
    [ ] 0x00004000 Invariant MDL checking for driver.
    [ ] 0x00008000 Power framework delay fuzzing.
    [ ] 0x00010000 Port/miniport interface checking.
    [ ] 0x00040000 Systematic low resources simulation.
    [ ] 0x00200000 NDIS/WIFI verification.
    [ ] 0x00800000 Kernel synchronization delay fuzzing.
    [ ] 0x01000000 VM switch verification.
    [ ] 0x02000000 Code integrity checks.

Post a new V2 share link and indicate whether there was a BSOD while using WDV.

Tests and drivers:
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

No initial BSOD. Attached V2 log.

To move at a faster pace if there was no BSOD with the above customized tests and if there were no major performance problems:

a) Make a new restore point
b) Restart WDV with all customized tests except:
[ ] 0x00000004 Randomized low resources simulation.
c) Post a new querysettings share link if there is no immediate BSOD
d) Post a new V2 share link for any BSOD

Post images or share links for:
a) startup and recovery system failure settings
b) virtual memory / page file settings


The RAM modules are mismatched.
When were each RAM module installed?
Were the RAM modules displayed on the Qualified Vendor List (QVL)?

I initally had 8GB about 5 years ago.
A year later i got an extra 8GB.

Im not sure why they are mismatched as i asked the supplier to check if new one had same frequency.

1) When available post images of startup and recovery system failure and virtual memory / page file settings

2) If there were no major performance problems then restart WDV with all customized tests
(post a new querysettings)

3) If there is no BSOD after 48 hours then turn off WDV and remove the newest RAM module

4) Monitor the computer using Reliability Monitor:
Reliability Monitor is the Best Windows Troubleshooting Tool You Aren’t Using.
