SAVER_RPCFAILURE

SAVER RPC failure bucket for SAVER_RPCFAILURE

SAVER_RPCFAILURE is bug check code 0x0000F013. This bucket points at a remote-procedure-call failure in the diagnostic path. The failing endpoint, service, and timeout or connection status are the key data; the name alone does not identify the service.

How to read it in a dump for SAVER_RPCFAILURE

  • Treat this value as an internal diagnostic bucket from the Windows SAVER family, not as a classic blue-screen stop code with public parameter semantics.
  • For SAVER_RPCFAILURE, the useful evidence is the dump type, WER bucket, triggering process, provider-specific data, and event-log context around the capture.
  • For SAVER_RPCFAILURE, the symbolic name narrows the subsystem that requested capture; it does not by itself identify a defective driver or application.

What to check for SAVER_RPCFAILURE

  • Check RPC runtime, service-control, DCOM/COM, and provider-specific event logs.
  • Identify client and server processes involved in the call.
  • Distinguish an RPC timeout from process termination, access denied, or endpoint registration failure.

Dump evidence for SAVER_RPCFAILURE

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

Analysis order for SAVER_RPCFAILURE

  • Run WinDbg !analyze -v, then inspect the documented meaning of each SAVER_RPCFAILURE parameter instead of relying only on the probably-caused-by line.
  • For SAVER_RPCFAILURE, find the earliest abnormal event: driver update, firmware change, device reset, storage error, verifier report, resource exhaustion, or application hang connected with saver / rpcfailure.
  • For SAVER_RPCFAILURE, 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 SAVER_RPCFAILURE before collecting the dump and event logs. For SAVER_RPCFAILURE, recovery actions should follow the component identified by the stack and parameters, not merely the symbolic stop-code name.
