How to identify root cause from MINIDUMP? WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT?

Writer Matthew Martinez

My computer keeps restarting on its own randomly, and sometimes when wake it up, the screen is all pixels so I suspect I have an issue related to my graphics card.

I'm new to *.dmp debugging, and I've collected a full dump and minidump and I'm trying to understand what it is telling me. It's here if you'd like to download (5.39 mb).

In WinDbg I've run !analyze -v against the dump and the output is below:

How can I make heads or tails of it? I see ntkrnlmp.exe but that's just the kernel process handling whatever is causing the problem it seems. My gut tells me it's the graphics driver, but I'm not seeing info to support that assumption.

Suggestions where to go?

I still am not 100% the root cause, but apparently the dump does not provide a ton of information beyond a Watchdog failure (), which means there's some piece of hardware that is failing.

Well no kidding something is failing. I opened a ticket with Microsoft and that's the best they could tell me. They could not point to the specific component given the full dumps.

Im the exact same with the same motherboard which doesnt have drivers for windows 10. WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT is what youre getting, and your OS is Windows 10
