A customer’s system crashed with HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED and I’m trying to determine if my driver is to actually blame.
This is a Windows 10 VM and I don’t have all the details behind it but I believe the BSOD occurred during reboot.
I got a small minidump (only about 500kb) for analysis so I’m limited in what I can look for.
There is not a lot of details available about this bugcheck code so I have a few questions.
- When can this code occur? That is, if it occurs very early during the boot process then it’s unlikely to be caused by my driver and more likely by some VM issue.
- Is the code actually accurate? Some bugcheck codes don’t actually make sense so I’m wondering if this is one of those cases.
- Is there any useful data I can get out of this minidump?
