Windows 10: How do I diagnose this BSOD?

I experienced a BSOD as soon as I opened a game, named: "Kernel_Security_Check_Failure". I run a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 with AMD Radeon Graphics. After the BSOD, I ran checks with sfc /scannow & DISM and found no corruption. After the BSOD the laptop automatically updated to the latest update. I run Windows 11.After this, I did not experience any more BSODs. But I do want to know what caused it, and how I can fix it.Thank You.

Hi Rachman,

I hope you're doing well. I wanted to suggest a few steps to help you troubleshoot and resolve the issues you're experiencing with your PC.

1. Check Your RAM:
   
   • Open the Run dialog by pressing Win + R.
     
   • Type MRT.exe and press Enter.
     
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to perform a thorough scan of your system's RAM.
     
2. Update All Drivers:
   
   • Keeping your drivers up to date is crucial for system stability and performance.
     
   • I recommend using IOBit's Driver Booster (free version) to simplify the process:
     
     • Download and install IOBit's Driver Booster.
       
     • Run the program and follow the prompts to scan your system for outdated drivers.
       
     • Update all the drivers it identifies as needing updates.
       

When you encounter a BSOD, it's essential to take note of the specific error message displayed on your screen. This message is usually located to the left side of the QR code on the BSOD screen. Providing the exact error code will help in diagnosing the root cause of the issue more effectively.

Please follow these steps and let me know if you need any further assistance. By checking your RAM and updating your drivers, we can hopefully resolve the BSOD errors and improve your system's performance.

Best regards,

 

Random BSOD while browsing internet


BitDefender is nothing special. mwac.sys causes BSODs anywhere.
A tiny documentation can be found here: Solved Random BSODs - Windows 10 Forums
In that very thread, the suggested action apparently worked.

The storage and network filters of any third party antivirus can cause BSODs. Neither MBAM nor BitDefender is any special. For a regular antivirus, it may be shifted to an alternative; but MBAM has no alternative. So a clean install of the said program is the most feasible first step.
As far as the first step is not failing, it is better to not think for the second step. Because the BSODs are not universal, failure at the first step is not universal; and success at the second step is also not universal.
That is why I posted that my suggestion may work, or may not. Let us see where it goes.
