HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED BSoD

[181951]

Hi there, it's me again I've been making a lot of threads lately because no matter how much I learn, I keep coming across new things. I couldn't find much information about the error code above, in a thread on the forum years ago it says that it indicates hardware problems, but I don't think this is the case with the file and computer I have.

When I entered the devnode address in the stack section with the !devnode command, I caught the culprit.

So far so good, I'm confused by the part where I can't find any problems with the graphics card even though I've done all the hardware tests. Could it be that this error code is not entirely hardware related? What exactly is it?

012824-8765-01.rar - Here is the DMP file, I would be grateful if you could analyze it and write down what I didn't see.

This is more related to allocation of hardware resources to a device rather than the hardware itself. Do you have a kernel memory dump (MEMORY.DMP) for this? You're going to have to use !arbiter or !arbinst to have any chance of getting any useful information as to why the interrupt remapping failed.

Don't have MEMORY.DMP, because this device have has BSoD only once. This is the only file that was created. I tried the !Arbiter command but it didn't give me any results and I don't know exactly what I'm using it for.

It should still be available under %systemroot%\MEMORY.DMP unless its has been deleted?

It won't because you'll need a full kernel memory dump in order for it to work; a Minidump only contains a small snapshot of memory at the time of the crash so many commands will not work due to much of the data not being present in the dump file.

 

[181951]

The device I have doesn't even have a MEMORY.DMP folder.I think it's a driver problem as I'm completely guessing. I've had it since yesterday and haven't had any problems, all I've done is uninstall and reinstall the driver with DDU.

Yes, I see. If there is no plugin for that, should I force the device to BSoD for now? * NotMyFault - Sysinternals

 

[x BlueRobot]

The device I have doesn't even have a MEMORY.DMP folder.

It isn't a folder, it's a file called MEMORY.DMP which should exist under C:\Windows (%systemroot%). The full path would be: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. I would check that the crash dump settings have been set correctly:

reg query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl"

The CrashDumpEnabled key value should have a data value of 0x7 on Windows 10. I believe it is the same for Windows 11 machines.

I think it's a driver problem as I'm completely guessing.

Possibly or a UEFI issue but more likely to be driver related.

If there is no plugin for that, should I force the device to BSoD for now?

No, NotMyFault is just a training tool which deliberately generates certain bugchecks for learning purposes.

I know there are no folders, but I only have the minidump file in the specified file path. (C:\Windows)

The CrashDumpEnabled key value should have a data value of 0x7 on Windows 10. I believe it is the same for Windows 11 machines.

I will take a look.

I guess I need to check the device for a few more days and make sure.

Got it, thank you. Thank you for your help. You've taught me a lot of things.

 

[x BlueRobot]

I will take a look.

It should look similar to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl
    AutoReboot    REG_DWORD    0x1
    CrashDumpEnabled    REG_DWORD    0x7
    DumpFile    REG_EXPAND_SZ    %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP
    DumpLogLevel    REG_DWORD    0x0
    EnableLogFile    REG_DWORD    0x1
    LogEvent    REG_DWORD    0x1
    MinidumpDir    REG_EXPAND_SZ    %SystemRoot%\Minidump
    MinidumpsCount    REG_DWORD    0x5
    Overwrite    REG_DWORD    0x0
    DumpFilters    REG_MULTI_SZ    MfeEpeHb.sys\0dumpfve.sys
    AlwaysKeepMemoryDump    REG_DWORD    0x0

I guess I need to check the device for a few more days and make sure.

If it does crash then you'll want to check the MEMORY.DMP rather than the Minidump(s). That's assuming it crashes with the same bugcheck code.

Thank you for your help.

No problem, glad to be able to help again.

 

[181951]

It should look similar to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl
AutoReboot REG_DWORD 0x1
CrashDumpEnabled REG_DWORD 0x7
DumpFile REG_EXPAND_SZ %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP
DumpLogLevel REG_DWORD 0x0
EnableLogFile REG_DWORD 0x1
LogEvent REG_DWORD 0x1
MinidumpDir REG_EXPAND_SZ %SystemRoot%\Minidump
MinidumpsCount REG_DWORD 0x5
Overwrite REG_DWORD 0x0
DumpFilters REG_MULTI_SZ MfeEpeHb.sys\0dumpfve.sys
AlwaysKeepMemoryDump REG_DWORD 0x0

MEMORY.DMP LogEvent key is 0x0 for me. What I need to do here is to set the key value to 1? If I change this, is it guaranteed that the MEMORY.DMP file will be created in case of a crash?

 

[x BlueRobot]

That value determines if information is written to the event log, I would set it to enabled as it can be very useful when you're trying to troubleshoot why no dump files are being written despite crashes.

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl /v LogEvent /t REG_DWORD /d 0x1 /f

It's the same as this:

 

[x BlueRobot]

If I change this, is it guaranteed that the MEMORY.DMP file will be created in case of a crash?

No, you'll need to make sure there is adequate free space on the disk as well otherwise no MEMORY.DMP will be written. It tends to be a couple of GB.

I got it and I changed it. If the computer crashes again, I'll look for MEMORY.DMP.

No, you'll need to make sure there is adequate free space on the disk as well otherwise no MEMORY.DMP will be written. It tends to be a couple of GB.

I have a laptop with the necessary space. No crashes so far.
