Hi Kp369,
Thanks for reporting this issue in Microsoft Answers. I realize that you've encountered a problem with Blue screen error driver verifier dma violation and I understand how you feel.
The "DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION" blue screen error usually means that Windows' Driver Verifier tool has detected a problem with a driver—often related to Direct Memory Access (DMA). It’s typically triggered by faulty, outdated, or incompatible drivers, especially after a recent update or hardware change.
- Disable Driver Verifier
If you enabled Driver Verifier manually or it was triggered by a system process:
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator
- Type:
verifier /resetand press Enter - Restart your PC
- Update or Roll Back Drivers
- Open Device Manager
- Look for any devices with a yellow warning icon
- Right-click and choose Update driver or Roll back driver if the issue started after an update
- Run System File Checker
Corrupted system files can also cause this:
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator
- Run:
sfc /scannow - Let it complete and then restart
- Check for Windows Updates
Sometimes Microsoft releases patches for known issues:
- Go to Settings > Windows Update
- Click Check for updates
- Run Hardware Troubleshooter
- Go to Settings > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters
- Run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter
If the error keeps looping and you can’t boot into Windows, you might need to boot into Safe Mode or use a Windows recovery USB to access System Restore or uninstall problematic drivers.
6. Check if exist dump file C:\Windows\MEMORY.dmp
To find out the cause of issue, it is possible to analyze a dump file. However, for analysis you should open a ticket to our Support Team.
Please feel free to let me know If you have any further updates, thanks.
