Windows 10: win32k.sys bsod alienware 17r4

so for the passed couple of years sense 2017 "2017" was when it was built. its a alienware 17r4.

its on and off done this blue screen, nobody can seem too troubleshoot it. well today i finally did a mem test with windows 10 memory diagnostic tool and when it completed the first sequence at 100% it froze on the 2nd sequence at 26% for over 6 hours. im guessing the 2nd sequence was the 2nd ram card. as i have 2. the first one passed, the second froze at 26%. i took the bottom off the laptop, took out one ram. plugged it back and and the pc would NOT boot... so i took out the ram card inside and replaced it with the first one i took out. viola. the laptop turns on. i started too play assassins creed odysessy too test it. FINALLY, my gpu is not loosing full load going too 0% every couple of minutes. i was not aware that failing ram can make your GPU load drop too zero.. NONE OF YOU EVER STATE THIS. pretty **** sad the full alienware support team doesnt even know of this and yall bullshited me until my warranty was up so you no longer had too assist me. well, without the help from those **** sucks, i finally got my machine fixed for the moment. i hope my situation can assist others with the 17r4 that has gpu load issues probably due to faulty ram. weird part is both memory sticks passed DELLS hardware test....... leading me too believe that my hardware is fine. **** pos dell...

BSOD on alienware 17r4 2015 edition with tobi eye

so i went into device manager, and memory, and checked the box to have windows manage my page file sense mine was set to custom to ensure my computer is using the most ram it can. (an alienware tech / dell tech had set that up for me i didnt do that ).
now its letting me select a complete dump instead of small dump in system and recovery options for dump file.... btw this is a nightmare to me, im a mechanic / security not software tech.... so now im guessing i need to wait for this pos to BSOD again?
if so np, shouldnt take long, back to youtube......

 

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: Documents

 

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!
