PCI_BUS_DRIVER_INTERNAL

The PCI_BUS_DRIVER_INTERNAL bug check has a value of 0x000000A1. This bug check indicates that the PCI Bus driver detected inconsistency problems in its internal structures and could not continue.

PCI_BUS_DRIVER_INTERNAL Parameters

None

Dump evidence

Preserve the complete dump, the four bug-check parameters, the exact Windows build, loaded-module list, and the event timeline immediately before the stop. AllStat summarizes the condition as “Inconsistency detected in the PCI Bus driver's internal structures.”; that sentence identifies the failure class, while the parameters and stack determine which object, driver, processor, or subsystem instance was involved.

Analysis order

  • Run WinDbg !analyze -v, then inspect the documented meaning of each parameter instead of relying only on the probably-caused-by line.
  • Find the earliest abnormal event preceding the stop: driver update, firmware change, device reset, storage error, verifier report, resource exhaustion, or application hang.
  • Keep third-party filter, security, storage, graphics, and virtualization drivers in the module inventory; removing evidence before dump analysis can obscure the responsible path.
