Intel Graphics Driver is faulty and causing BSOD (Iris Xe)

Hi Intel,

I have Dell Latitude 9420 with Windows 11. I have installed you latest driver version: 30.0.100.9955. (I did try also older version and DELL version). So problem is that as soon as I use your driver my system is not stable and causing BSOD: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, igdkmdn64.sys

(The reason why the driver crashed the system is because it caused at a page fault when the IRQL was at DISPATCH_LEVEL, hence the bugcheck of Stop 0xA.)

As soon as I uninstall INTEL graphics driver and I use microsoft generic driver I have no BSOD.

(please see minidump attached - driver verifier enabled).

 

Could you please have a look on it and help me to fix it?

Instead of Speccy you should provide a report from Intel System Support Utility

 

Your dump actually does not expose bugcheck 0xA, but 0x3B: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION

Find the right dump at c:\Windows\LiveKernelReports\

actually i thing better will be to upload all my minidumps. Here it is. Curent stat is that intel drivers are not used (Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is used) and I am able to use my computer without BSODs avery 20 min approx. Please let me know next stem.  I will upload also report from your utility. I uninstalled latest version of driver, so probably the older versions are still installed (not used).

yes...but as soon as I stopped using Intel Iris Graphics driver then the PC is stable, no BSOD. But from what I remeber, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL was most common.

Dumps 30015 and 27093 read PROCESS_NAME: chrome.exe

Work a while without Chrome and see if that helps.

Well that's what you could do from your side.

Someone from Intel would have to take a look at dump 26296

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (d1)
An attempt was made to access a pageable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high.  This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If kernel debugger is available get stack backtrace.

Arg2: 000000000000000b, IRQL

Hello neo2,

 

Thank you for posting on the Intel®️ communities. In order to have a better understanding of the issue, please share with us the following information: 


  1. When did the issue start happening?
  2. Was the issue present when using Windows* 10?
  3. Where any changes made recently to the system?
  4. Did you upgraded to Windows* 11 by performing a clean install of the OS?
  5. Does the issue also occurs when using the drivers provided by Dell?
  6. Does the issue happens randomly or when the system is doing a specific task? 



Regards, 

Josue O.

Hello Josue,

 

1. Hard to say, 3 months ago there was some update delivered and then I started to notice BSOD issue on Windows 10.

2. Yes it was

3. No changes made.

4. No. I did update to windows 11, then I saw the issue again and then I select in Windows 11 to reset PC to defaul and delete all personal filis...I guess this will be equal to clean install. But even after clean install (no additional SW installed) I immedietly encounter the same issue with BSOD.

5. yes ( I have tried multiple versions). Dell drivers were default. I have then switched to intels to try. Best solution for now is no driver (but this is also not good as I now cannot controll brightness of LCD and I see also another limitations.

6. i have the feeling that is more random but I would say when there is some process running. So not in iddle. 

 

Best regards

neo2

Hello neo2, 



Thank you for all the information provided so far. We are currently analyzing the logs provided in order to try to get a solution. We will also like to have the dmp files and the SSU report with the latest driver installed to have the logs the most updated possible. 


In order to do that, please install the latest driver from our download center.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19344/intel-graphics-windows-dch-drivers.html


Please be sure to update the BIOS, OS, and drivers, and with everything updated generate a new SSU report and attach it to your response. 


Also, using the latest driver, please generate new dump files and attach them to the case. 


To capture a dump file:


1. Right-click on This PC > Properties

2. Click Advanced system settings

3. Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings

4. Select Complete memory dump from the Write debugging information

5. Click OK to confirm the changes

6. Restart

7. After the BSOD occurs, the dump file will be found at C:\Windows\Memory.dmp

8. Zip the dump file (you may need to do this outside of the C:\Windows folder due to permissions)

9. Send Intel the zipped dmp file


We also recommend joining the community thread about this issue where you can participate in the conversation with other users affected by this issue.

Hi Josue,

 

I have manage to get another laptop with exactly the same configuration. But this time with Windows 10 and all driver pre-installed from factory from DELL.  And I just had BSOD directly after PC was wake-up from sleep:

DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, wdiwifi.sys

 

Please have a look on it.

Hello neo2,


 After analyzing the memory dumps with the latest drivers that you provided, one of the results points to a DirectX problem and also to a memory corruption issue as the causes for the BSODs you are getting. 


Our recommendation is to please perform a clean installation of the OS, in case you need assistance with this, we recommend you to contact Microsoft for specialized support on Windows* installation. 


Also, perform a clean installation of the drivers after performing the clean install of the OS, you can follow the steps in the article "Clean Installation of Intel® Graphics Drivers in Windows*"


https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000057389/graphics.html


Please try using both OEM drivers and the ones we provide. After performing both clean installations, please test the system and in case you get another BSOD, please provide us with a new memory dump file in order to analyze it and try to find a solution for the issue.

Hi Josue,

I have used my original computer with Windows 11 and completely format c: drive. I downloaded W11 install medium directly from Microscoft and created bootable flash drive. 

After windows 11 install, drivers were downloaded automatically by Windows, I had no influence. But There was proper driver installed from Intel for Intel Iris XE (30.0.100.9864).

As soon as driver was installed I have got BSOD. Please see attached minidump, let me know.

 

It is fresh install, completely clean, no personal data, nothing.
