    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 It’s typically triggered by faulty, outdated, or incompatible drivers, especially after a recent update or hardware change.

    1. Disable Driver Verifier

    If you enabled Driver Verifier manually or it was triggered by a system process:

    • Open Command Prompt as Administrator
    • Type: verifier /reset and press Enter
    • Restart your PC
    1. 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
    1. 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
    1. Check for Windows Updates

    Sometimes Microsoft releases patches for known issues:

    • Go to Settings > Windows Update
    • Click Check for updates
    1. 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.

    Best Regards,
