[SOLVED] BSOD after sleep in Windows 8.1

skytx · Sep 24, 2015

Hi I have been having bsods resuming from sleep every time after I upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. It did not happen before the upgrade.

I reinstalled windows 8 from the 'remove everything and reinstall windows' option in the settings menu before installing all updates and windows 8.1 in an attempt to resolve this problem.

I have also installed all the latest important updates from windows update, skipping any recommended updates because I read that drivers from windows update can cause problems.

Lastly, I installed all updates and drivers from HP Support Assistant.

Thank you for your help!

Code:

BugCheck 139, {3, ffffd00154723ec0, ffffd00154723e18, 0}

Probably caused by : nvlddmkm.sys ( nvlddmkm+7c1b7 )

The system crashed due to a double remove which was found by verifying any operations involving lists; the driver has attempted to free an already freed block of memory.

Code:

0: kd> .exr 0xffffd00154723e18
ExceptionAddress: fffff801d3cfc1b7 (nvlddmkm+0x000000000007c1b7)
   ExceptionCode: c0000409 (Security check failure or stack buffer overrun)
  ExceptionFlags: 00000001
NumberParameters: 1
   Parameter[0]: 0000000000000003
Subcode: 0x3 FAST_FAIL_CORRUPT_LIST_ENTRY

The fast fail mechanism means that no exception handlers will be invoked, and the system will forced straight into a bugcheck.

Code:

0: kd> !error c0000409
Error code: (NTSTATUS) 0xc0000409 (3221226505) - The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application.

Code:

0: kd> u nt!KiRaiseSecurityCheckFailure+0xf4
nt!KiRaiseSecurityCheckFailure+0xf4:
fffff800`42567a34 90              nop

fffff800`42567a36 66660f1f840000000000 nop word ptr [rax+rax]
nt!KiRaiseAssertion: // where our exception is raised
fffff800`42567a40 48832c2402      sub     qword ptr [rsp],2
fffff800`42567a45 4883ec08        sub     rsp,8
fffff800`42567a49 55              push    rbp
fffff800`42567a4a 4881ec58010000  sub     rsp,158h
fffff800`42567a51 488dac2480000000 lea     rbp,[rsp+80h]

I would suggest checking for any updates to your nVidia graphics card driver, and potentially running Driver Verifier to see if any drivers may have caused the problem.

Code:

0: kd> lmvm nvlddmkm

start             end                 module name
fffff801`d3c80000 fffff801`d4753000   nvlddmkm T (no symbols)

Thanks BlueRobot. I have enabled driver verifier and it went into a bsod reboot loop so I used system restore. I have attached the two dump files.

As for the nvidia drivers, I have installed the latest version available (355.98).

Turns out you cannot simply install the latest Nvidia drivers.

You must uninstall the current driver that came with Windows 8.1, then install the original Nvidia driver from HP before being able to update to the latest Nvidia drivers and then it would be fine.

My computer is working fine now. Thanks
