BUGCODE_USB3_DRIVER
BUGCODE_USB3_DRIVER meaning
BUGCODE_USB3_DRIVER is bug check 0x00000144. The USB 3 stack detected a fatal controller, hub, endpoint, request, or client-driver condition. Parameter 1 selects the USB 3 failure type; the remaining parameters carry objects specific to that type.
How to analyze the result
Inspect Parameter 1, the xHCI controller and hub objects, URB or IRP, endpoint state, device descriptor, controller firmware, and USB event traces. Determine whether the failing component is the host controller, hub, device firmware, or client driver.
- 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 component identified by the USB objects and stack. Replugging a device can clear transient state, but repeated failures require driver, firmware, cabling, power, or hardware investigation.
