Dump evidence for MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASH

For MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASH, 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 “MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASH”; that sentence identifies the failure class, while the parameters and stack determine which object, driver, processor, or subsystem instance was involved.

Analysis order for MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASH

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

Do not repeatedly reboot a machine affected by MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASH before collecting the dump and event logs. For MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASH, recovery actions should follow the component identified by the stack and parameters, not merely the symbolic stop-code name.
