How to identify which driver cause an fault?

WINDBG
1

Dear All,

I am a system engineer that might need to test and develop notebook PC.
We always suffering how to determine the issue belong to driver,BIOS or H/W.
If we don’t have the symbol of the driver, is it possible to indicate the
issue belong to driver ?

Hi,

Use the ‘lm’ command under WinDbg to locate the load address and ranges of
all the drivers. When you have the crash address look at this list to
determine what driver was present at that location.

Although this does not mean that the problem was in that driver but the same
is true even if you have symbols.
