WUDFRd failed to load for the device - BSODs

Anonymous

Hi, for a while I've been getting intermittent BSODs attached to this warning:

The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\PNP0A0A\2&daba3ff&1.

I've run memory tests and tried various suggestions. It seems to happen mostly when I'm using Chrome or doing something graphics/memory intensive.

DMP log is below. (It happens very rarely so I'm afraid there is only 1)

Any clues?

Thanks.

Hi, Urdabrunnr

Follow these steps, I hope you can solve the problem.

Open Start, type: CMD

Right click CMD

Click Run as administrator

Type in at the prompt OR Copy and Paste these one at a time : (Hit enter after each)

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Also run the System File Checker utility:

Open Start, type: CMD

Right click CMD

Click Run as administrator

At the Command Prompt, type: sfc /SCANNOW

This will check for any integrity violations

Restart your system

Answer 2

The crash was caused by memory corruption-probably by an unnamed driver.

Let us try finding any misbehaving driver

Enable Driver Verifier:

(Must create a Restore point before)

Upload the newer dumps when you get Driver_Verifier_detected_voilation.

Please note that the system might crash before you reach the desktop-if it does please let us know so that we can guide you to disable Verifier.
