BSOD on startup every day - Trying to identify specific causation

YELDUR 1

Hi all,

For the past week or so I've been experiencing BSODs whenever I power on the computer first during the day; after we REACH the Windows splash screen, I have no further issues, even when restarting.

rom reviewing the Event Logs I can see one in there stating the following:

"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
followed closely by:
"The driver \Driver\WudfRd failed to load for the device PCI\VEN_5853&DEV_1003\1&1a590e2c&0&03."

So far as far as causation goes, this is the only thing throwing flags, as I've successfully performed Windows Memory Diagnostics with no issues being found, system file checks with no corruption being found, and lastly checking in on the device manager and checking all tabs to ensure nothing in there is throwing errors. As far as I can tell, these issues began this week.

I know that this week I plugged in a new keyboard that is different to that of my old one, and in doing so I needed to download some more drivers for it, however I went from a Roccat Aimo 120 to a Roccat Aimo 100, to which the only real difference is the fact that the 100 doesn't have a hand wrest with the keyboard. Besides that, it doesn't appear any different specification wise, so I'm unclear on whether this is the cause. I also changed my power plan on the rig from Balanced to Performance, though I don't expect this to be the cause.

Originally I believed perhaps that drivers were the issue, however, now I'm not so sure.

To cut a long story short, I ran a bugcheck analysis using the Windows Debug tools which threw me the following:

12: kd> !analyze -v

I work in tech, but I am by no means a master, and to be frank, I don't know what I'm reading here. I can gather that it is telling me that there's something wrong with memory, in that it's seeing corruption, but other than that I'm honestly not too sure.

Here's the event log that prompted me finding these issues:

Event ID 1001

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000001a (0x0000000000041792, 0xffff83816716da08, 0x0000800000000000, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 15812135-3f48-42c4-b474-5b9fd5a5cf7e.

If there's any more information required, please don't hesitate to ask and I will do my best to gather it for you.

Hi Docs,

Further update after re-enabling WDV

1) In my haste to get these checks done ASAP I forgot to take a system restore point, so have had to re-do everything I did above (Win updates, driver reinstall etc etc)
2) Citrix is back, however it won't let me uninstall it anymore, it states: "The global document path cannot be retrieved" - I followed the filepath and it doesn't appear broken, as I was able to from the shortcut reach the portion that brings me to a folder that is Citrix related.

Steps taken prior to the system restore:

1) Turned on verifier -> Rebooted
2) Hit windows desktop splash screen -> Logged in -> regular BSOD
3) Rebooted -> Hit a regular BSOD -> Restarted again
5) Hit advanced recovery -> CMD -> ran "verifier /reset" -> shut down -> logged in -> regular BSOD
6) Rebooted again and received a regular BSOD on sign in -> Rebooted -> Loaded into advanced recovery
7) CMD -> ran "verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail" -> Rebooted -> Logged in and received a regular BSOD
8) Rebooted -> Received regular BSOD -> Rebooted -> Advanced recovery
9) System Restore -> Restored to the restore point I created

Crash dumps for your reference:

What's worse is that there is no way to remove the tool even with an uninstaller because Citrix walls it off from everyone for whatever reason... Damnit.

I don't know where to go from here and I'm sorely regretting trying to rush this process.

Okay...

Good news and bad news...

I managed to fix part of the issue by removing the Citrix folder from the Program Files(x86) folder, meaning that I could reinstall Citrix and use it again

The bad news is that Citrix Workspace has now vanished in its entirety from programs & features, meaning that it's impossible to uninstall.

I found the cleanup utility embedded inside its own files, but running it changes nothing and attempting to install does nothing either..

The only thing I can think to do now would be to system restore before I moved the Citrix folder so that we're back to the point where it won't uninstall, but that doesn't even solve the problem per se.

Theoretically speaking, the issue is with the driver that is inside the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder, correct? If I was just to straight delete this driver, does that solve the issues that you were looking to solve by uninstalling it?

I've moved past trying to fix Citrix for now and am looking to simply break it enough to the point where we achieve what we wanted to achieve by uninstalling it, if that makes sense.

Hi Docs,

BSOD from this morning:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PFypJyBdDnclKQkgCHqrPfbo5TUn6cAq/view?usp=sharing
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xg7nYxEF23iGV19ZDvLQTgKR09rfLHDa/view?usp=sharing

On the back of your report that the drivers I uninstalled/reinstalled didn't seem to work and were still triggering, I've uploaded the following:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1MM1hsJ7A01MhmiLnIyShCG_6Wdc9KN0H?usp=sharing

I uninstalled both, restarted and both of them were back there with no involvement from myself. I scanned for hardware changes again like I did last time, but from my understanding these drivers should not be automatically reinstalling on a reboot given that I instructed them to uninstall, could this be causing some issues?

Have uninstalled -> reinstalled Chipset drivers
Have updated Windows (Is now fully up to date inclusive of optional updates, one of which was a driver update)
Have checked Win Defender is on latest version (no updates to install)
Have uninstalled Citrix Software (Please note that I am going to have to install this again on Monday because I regularly make use of it in work as it's what we use to access our password vault to access our customer environments)

I have cleared my schedule in its entirety today, so I am with you until around the same time as yesterday.

I understand if you have to go a bit more hands off, I want to make this as easy as possible for you with both of our limited time, if there was a way I could compensate you for your efforts I would offer to do so, but I'm guessing that the MS Forum might not allow for it.

The logs reported the same misbehaving drivers from the post 7 hours ago:

Docs-4663 answered • 7 hours ago | Docs-4663 edited • 7 hours ago EXPERT ANSWERCOMMUNITY EXPERT
Post a share link for:

Uninstall or uninstall and reinstall:

Restart WDV.

Uninstall all of the Citrix software.
These can be reinstalled after the troubleshooting has completed.

Please confirm when you've performed these steps:
a) reinstalled the chipset drivers
b) performed windows updates
c) uninstalled the Citrix software

Get some sleep.
I've got a lot of obligations then next two weeks.
When in rhythm the misbehaving drivers can be found relatively quickly.
Then WDV runs for 36 hours without BSOD.
Then that typically completes the troubleshooting.
If there is any malfunctioning hardware then it requires additional troubleshooting.
