KERNEL ERROR CHECK FAILURE (BSoD)

Since upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 I have been hit with the KERNEL ERROR CHECK FAILURE (BSoD) message at odd times when on the internet. I cannot find in Windows 10 under the Tools menu only reference to a Disk Check command & a Defragging command. How do I use the information you have provided for previous systems to check/repair the system disk? Incidentally I have been having all kinds of problems since upgrading.

Hi Francis,

The error is usually triggered when the kernel detects a corruption of data and, in most cases, it can be triggered by a USB-related problem or by a corrupt driver or device.
You can perform the Driver Verifier check as the first solution to this failure:

The Driver Verifier utility can test all your installed drivers and could help you identify corrupt files and drivers. If the KERNEL SECURITY CHECK ERROR error is caused by a corrupt driver, the Driver Verifier tool can identify the problematic driver.
To access Driver Verifier, follow these steps:
  1. Start Windows
  2. Click start
  3. Type cmd in the search box to open Command Prompt
  4. Right-click on the Command Prompt item from the search results list. Click Run as Administrator
  5. Type verifier in Command Prompt and Press Enter
  6. Select the Create standard settings check box and then click Next
  7. Select the Automatically select all drivers installed on this computer option. Click Finish
To test against specific drivers, follow these steps:
  1. Start Windows
  2. Click start
  3. Type verifier in the search box
  4. Select Create custom settings. Click Next
  5. Select everything from the Select individual settings from the full list section. Leave the DDI compliance checking and randomized low resource simulation unchecked.
  6. Select Select driver names from a list. Click Next
  7. From the new list select all drivers that are not listed with Microsoft as a provider. Click Finish
The Driver Verifier tool will now run in the background and save any error logs if the KERNEL SECURITY CHECK ERROR appears again. If the error appears, open the logs to troubleshoot the driver.

Another thing you should try is running the sfc comman

To open the sfc tool, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start
  2. Type command prompt in search box or open Command Prompt directly
  3. Right-click on the item and then click Run as administrator
  4. When Command Prompt appears, type the command:
    sfc /scannow
  5. Press Enter
I hope this helps.

Regards,
Lokesh

I kept getting the blue screen with Driver Power State Failure error message and then my computer would restart. I found your product and it did not happen any more. I just purchased an anti-virus (kaspersky) and now it is doing it again. It is so frustrating. My computer is only 6 months old. It is a Asus desktop.
