Question

KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (139)

66tiger 20

Hello,

I have a HP pavilion TP01-3700 desktop. Since the July updates, every morning my computer automatically restarts and opens a black screen stating, "Your device ran into problem and needs to restart" "KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK _FAILURE (0x139).

Please help me solve this issue, I have extensively researched but nothing worked so-far. Below is the debug log.

Thanks in advance.

Hi 66tiger

Thanks for providing the dump analysis. The crash appears to be caused by a third-party storage/filter driver rather than Windows itself.

Based on the dump, I would focus first on nllArDisk.sys, as it is the most suspicious component and is present in the crash path where memory corruption was detected.

Identify which software installed nllArDisk.sys and update or uninstall it temporarily.
Update your HP BIOS, chipset drivers, storage controller drivers (Intel RST, if applicable), and SSD firmware from HP Support.
Run: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth sfc /scannow
Check your drive health using HP diagnostics or the SSD manufacturer's utility.
If the issue persists, enable Driver Verifier to help identify the exact offending driver.

Feel free to update here if anything comes up!

Thank you very much for your reply. The nllArDisk.sys file is associated with Norton 360. After uninstalling 360, the problem has been resolved. Thanks for all your help.
