Identify Faulty Device Drivers

 Identify Faulty Device Drivers

If you are having problems with lockups, blue screens, or can only get to safe mode,
often the problem is due to a faulty device driver.


One way to help identify them is through the use of the Verfier program

Start / Run / Verifier

Keep the default of Create Standard Settings

Select the type of drivers you want to confirm

A list of drivers to be verified on the next boot will be shown.

Reboot

If your computer stops with a blue screen, you should get an error message with the problem driver

To turn off the Verifier, run verifier /reset
