Windows 10: Windows 10 Device DMA Violation

Hi all,I'm getting a Device Driver DMA Violation randomly while browsing the web. I've checked the Windows Event Logs and there's no useful information outside of a Critical Log indicating that the system has unexpectedly shut down.Here's the memory dump: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tjNj3HF6kjY28sH0ovM0e9uyX44GWCOl/view?usp=sharingAnd here's me running in windbg below. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?******************************************************************************** **

DMA Devices?

When I go to "System Information" and expand the "Hardware Resources" tab and then click "DMA" (Direct Memory Access), the panel that lists the devices is blank, i.e. no devices are shown.

Since my hdd, ssd, NIC, sound card etc. normally are supposed to use DMA, I'm not sure why I'm not seeing them listed.

I checked Device Manager but there doesn't appear to be any way to verify if DMA is being utilized. I recall in prior versions of Windows, Device Manager would display a check box in one of the tabs for a specific device, that would indicate if DMA was active, but I don't see this feature in Windows 10.

Is there any other way to verify whether or not devices on my computer are utilizing DMA?

Thanks.

Bob

DMA Devices?

The "DMA" in System Information likely refers to the legacy ISA DMA controller which had a limited number of channels that could be assigned to devices.

Every PCI (and PCIe) device can bus master and access system memory on its own. Therefore there's no separate controller or assignment of DMA resources needed.
