DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION_LIVEDUMP
DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION_LIVEDUMP meaning
DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION_LIVEDUMP is bug check 0x000001C4. Driver Verifier captured a live dump for a detected driver violation. The machine may continue running, but the dump records a verifier rule failure that still requires driver analysis.
How to analyze the result
Preserve the live dump, verifier configuration, selected-driver list, Parameter 1 rule id, and the stack at detection. Confirm that the artifact is a live dump rather than the fatal 0xC4 stop before interpreting system availability.
- Preserve the complete dump, all four parameters, Windows build, loaded modules, and the event timeline before changing drivers or firmware while investigating this result.
- Run
!analyze -vand follow the parameter-specific objects and the stack associated with this result rather than relying only on the symbolic name or a single probable-cause line. - Compare multiple dumps when available; a stable instruction or object path associated with this result is stronger evidence than a module that appears only after earlier corruption.
Recovery boundary
Correct the monitored driver even if Windows continued running. Repeated live dumps indicate an unresolved contract violation and can consume storage or precede a fatal crash.
