DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION
DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION meaning
DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION is bug check 0x000000C4. Driver Verifier detected a fatal rule violation in a monitored driver. Parameter 1 is the verifier subcode; Parameters 2 through 4 contain rule-specific addresses, handles, pool data, or state.
How to analyze the result
Record the verifier settings and selected drivers, decode Parameter 1 with the official table or !analyze -v, and inspect the named driver at the first invalid operation. Keep the dump from the first occurrence because later corruption may obscure the original rule.
Recovery boundary
Fix or replace the driver that violated the verifier contract. Do not leave aggressive verifier settings enabled on production machines after evidence is collected; use targeted verification during reproduction.
