Windows 10: pmon.sys BSOD

Hello,


My computer has recently bluescreened, and when taking a look through the minidump, it threw a KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE 139 for pmon.sys. The only references I can find are to an Oracle DB driver, but A I don't know if Oracle would put the file in "C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\" like any first-party Windows driver, and B I do not believe I have Oracle DB installed unless some other program I have installed in the past installed it as a prerequisite.


I have ran a virus scan and it came back clean. I was mainly prompted to do this on account of the fact that the only reference to "C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\pmon.sys" that I found was a Chinese website.


Can somebody let me know if this is legitimate? It has a SHA1 hash for Microsoft Windows, so it seems like it might be legit.


It just seems odd that some quick research doesn't yield definitive results, as I look at minidumps often at work and 5 seconds of Googling typically gives me a solid answer.

Thank you,

:)

 

dxgmms2.sys BSOD

Hello,

A while back, my computer lost power while it was installing windows updates. Since then, I've had BSODs every couple days, with various errors pointing to a driver error. These were annoying, but manageable. I tried a few basic troubleshooting steps, like
using a removal tool for my graphics card drivers and reinstalling, but I didn't do much else.

The last couple days, the BSOD rate has ramped up, and I started seeing "dxgmms2.sys" get listed in the BSODs, which is relatively new.

I followed the instructions
here.

And here are my dmp files resulting from that:

wdf01000.sys and ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

I'm on Windows 10, 64bit

Basically, whenever I try to update my LPC controller through Device Manager, BSOD with WDF_VIOLATION occurs (culprit being wdf01000.sys)

So I try to use the driver verifier to see which driver is causing the BSOD, but then it causes BSOD (cultprit being ntoskrnl.exe)

Have no idea which driver is causing them

Please help!

Here are my list of drivers and system info: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

 

BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (l1c63x64.sys)

Hi Seung,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused by BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (l1c63x64.sys).

Please let us know the make/model of your computer.

The L1C63x64.sys is the Atheros LAN driver and I would suggest to uninstall and reinstall the Atheros LAN driver but install the latest Atheros LAN driver by visiting the manufacture's website and avoid using any LAN driver available though Windows Update.

However the problem could also be with any VPN software and other software so make sure you have the latest version of each of these software.

If the errors continue uninstall the VPN software and check if the issue persist.

Hope this helps. Get back to us for further queries for BSOD - driver_irql_not_less_or_equal (l1c63x64.sys). We are happy to help!
