A Windows workstation periodically experiences blue screen (BSOD) stop errors after a third-party peripheral device was connected. System File Checker finishes with no integrity violations found, and physical RAM diagnostics pass. The technician suspects an unidentified third-party driver is corrupting system memory pools, but standard crash dumps do not explicitly name the problematic driver file. Which of the following utilities should the technician run to stress-test drivers and isolate the corrupt driver causing the crashes?
- Driver VerifierCevap
- BSystem Configuration
- CWindows Memory Diagnostic
- DDevice Manager
Cevap
Driver Verifier is the utility designed to stress-test kernel drivers and pinpoint corrupt or misbehaving driver files when crash dumps fail to identify them.
Driver Verifier is built into Windows to detect illegal driver behaviors and memory pool corruption. It subjects selected drivers to stress tests, causing a crash that explicitly names the misbehaving driver in the resulting dump file.
