GPIO_CONTROLLER_DRIVER_ERROR
GPIO controller driver failure
GPIO_CONTROLLER_DRIVER_ERROR is bug check code 0x00000138. The built-in table identifies it as GPIO_CONTROLLER_DRIVER_ERROR
; the useful diagnostic question is what Windows component raised the stop and which invariant failed.
This bug check points to a GPIO controller driver or its integration with the Windows GPIO framework. It is usually about interrupt/resource/controller state, not a generic device installation problem.
How to read the parameters
- Use the dump to identify the GPIO controller driver and whether the path involves interrupt handling, resource translation, or power transition.
- ACPI resource descriptions can be relevant on modern systems.
- The stack and device node are more useful than the symbolic name alone.
What to check in the dump
- Check the GPIO controller driver version, ACPI firmware tables, SoC/chipset package, and recent BIOS updates.
- Look for crashes during sleep/resume, device enumeration, interrupt storms, or GPIO-backed device activity.
- Inspect related ACPI and PnP logs before blaming the consumer device attached to the GPIO line.
