HAL1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

Later HAL initialization failure for HAL1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

HAL1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED is bug check code 0x00000061.

This is a HAL startup failure in a later initialization phase. It still points at platform hardware abstraction state, but the failing phase may involve additional processor, interrupt, timer, or firmware interfaces becoming active.

How to read it in a dump

  • Compare it with HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED: the name suggests a separate initialization phase, not a different user-mode component.
  • Firmware, ACPI, hypervisor, CPU, and platform drivers are the primary evidence.
  • The stack and nested status identify the subcomponent.

What to check

  • Check firmware and hypervisor changes, ACPI/platform driver compatibility, and CPU configuration.
  • Capture boot debugging output if normal dumps are not written.
  • Correlate with hardware replacement or VM configuration changes.
