Re: Windows 10 Blue Screen Usbxhci.sys
Matt Dreher
According to user reports, the USBXHCI.sys BSOD error often occurs when using one of USB ports on Windows 10/11. This error always triggers an immediate system crash and even causes data loss. The most common factor for the blue screen USBXHCI.sys is related to corrupted or outdated USB drivers. Besides, the error can be caused by corrupted system files or faulty hardware.
Lots of users reported that the BSOD error USBXHCI.sys can lead to system crashes and data loss. To avoid any unexpected loss due to the error, we highly recommend you back up all important data, including OS, before proceeding.
MiniTool Partition Wizard is a powerful data backup utility that can clone hard drive, migrate OS to SSD/HD, and copy a partition to another drive. Moreover, it can convert MBR to GPT without data loss, rebuild MBR, extend/resize/move partitions, change cluster size, and more.
Step 3. Select the Search automatically for drivers option and wait for the system to find an updated USB driver, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete this update.
Step 4. Then confirm your restore point by clicking the Finish button. After that, your computer should be restored to an earlier state, and the blue screen error should be fixed.
The usbxhci.sys blue screen is often caused when the users try to launch their system with one or more external devices connected to the computer. In some cases, the computers also crash when the user launches the system and upon booting, connects external devices to the computer.
The most common factor that triggers this particular issue is the corrupt USB drivers on the system. In other cases, it can also be caused due to corruption errors within the system or the hardware being faulty.
Whatever the reason might be in your case, we have listed several troubleshooting methods below that will help you fix the issue for good. We suggest you go through the solutions first to determine the cause of the error and then proceed with the most relevant method.
Simply, head back to the Device Manager window and expand the Universal Serial Bus Controller section. Right-click on the USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller and click Uninstall. Checkmark the box for Delete the driver software for this device and click Uninstall again.
You can also try reverting the system state back to when the system worked properly without the usbxhci.sys blue screen. In order to accomplish this, we will use the System Restore utility, which creates restore points periodically. The restore points can be used to go back to a previous state of your system.
Windows users often experience errors like the usbxhci.sys blue screen due to generic errors or viruses within the system. Most of the time, however, these can be resolved using the built-in troubleshooting utilities Microsoft has equipped Windows with.
We will use the SFC and DISM utilities via Command Prompt to fix this error. The System File Checker checks the system for any files with compromised integrity and replaces the faulty ones with their healthy counterparts. The DISM tool, on the other hand, is more powerful than the System File Checker and repairs corrupt system images.
The method allows you to keep your files or remove them all. If you choose to delete your files, your system will be reverted to its default state. We suggest that you copy your important files elsewhere, and proceed with the second option.
However, if you do not want to proceed with a reset just yet, you can contact Microsoft support and report the issue to them. They will help you identify the cause of the error, and then suggest a relevant fix that will hopefully fix the problem once and for all.
The information on the blue screen tells me that it the error is: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_OR_LESS_EQUAL(l6podhd5se64.sys), so I think it may be a driver issue. However, I've updated everything on my POD again after doing a factory reset (USB Firmware, Flash memory, Drivers) and Monkey shows that it's all up to date, but this has not resolved anything. I've done pretty much everything I could with Monkey. I've also used memtest to check my ram in case that is the issue but I don't think it is.
It still crashes every time, either after a bit of messing around or recording or editing, or it crashes immediately upon opening up another program, although sometimes the error is KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE.
Searching the support knowledge base told me to uninstall the driver usbfilter.sys but my computer is not an AMD. The list of USB drivers I have in System32>Drivers is usbccgp.sys, usbcir.sys, usbd.sys, usbehci.sys, usbhub.sys, USBHUB3.SYS, usbohci.sys, usbport.sys, usbprint.sys, usbrmp.sys, SUBSTOR.SYS, usbuhci.sys, usbvideo.sys, USBXHCI.SYS.
I uninstalled the ASIO4ALL and R24Zoom drivers (although, I suspect the R24 was not the issue). Hopefully this will help others with the same error. I figured since it was on the initialization of Reaper there would be competition with the other ASIO driver. Regardless of the logic, that was the solution for my system.
Thanks for the replies. I ran Slimdrivers and updated the 4 drivers it said were out of date. But I still crash. I also uninstalled ASIO4ALL but it still causes me to crash either after using the DAW for a short time, or immediately as soon as I open up another program. I also temporarily disabled my antivirus and it still crashes. All crashes with the same error, "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_OR_LESS_EQUAL(l6podhd5se64.sys)"
I don't know what the problem was, but I managed to fix it by reinstalling windows, and then selectively installing the programs and testing ableton and the pod each time. Eventually I installed everything I needed back with no crashing.
I have the same problem, I tried unistall and install pod's drivers and reset windows 10.. I can use perfectly the pod as interface with the windowns, he identify my pod and i play tracks with the app of the windowns, the sound pass for the pod and get out for my monitores, i can play guitar in the same time.. buuuut.. when i open the ableton, put ASIO and ASIO POD HD500X, shiit.. few minutes, some times seconds, blue screem.." your pc run into a problem". i dont know you i do!
just go into safe mode.. open up device manager.. try to simply disable the drivers which have caution signs infront of them.. but do not disable your audio driver you are working with!! Then restart your pc!! Its work with me.. and its worth a try!!
went through a bunch of posts on this, and just gave up. i simply cannot get this to work as a recording interface. However, i find that I CAN still use the POD HD500X Edit software. The only time that crashes if I unplug the USB cable (or the POD) while both the computer and the POD are on. Not a huge deal. Just have to be mindful, and shut off the computer before unplugging the pod.
Try turning off all sound drivers except the driver needed for your interface. (Line6 ASIO driver.) If you have more than the one driver enabled for your OS or other programs crash can occur. turn off all windows OS sounds. Also check that your ASIO sample rate in settings/sound/driver settings, matches the sample rate in your DAW preferences/settings. Took some research and kind help from other more tech savvy forum users ,but now my pod hd pro won't be a boat anchor this summer! Good Luck. Peace!
Hello community - this laptop has been giving me grief for weeks now and despite system reset and reinstall I keep getting the occasional Blue Screen of death - has anyone else experienced this? Have you managed to fix it? Driving me nuts.
Your problem is known as Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). BSOD is kind of Windows self-protection feature. If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
Usually, the root cause may be a hardware device, its driver, or related software .What you describe could happen because of incompatible with Windows driver (most often) or because of hardware issue (rarely).
I will need this zip archive containing the dump files. They may help me providing technical information about why the issue happens. Once you have the files, upload them somewhere (e.g. OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc...) and provide me with link to download
we upgraded the RAM last year and last week blue screen started coming, then we removed the old memories and its workiring fine since last week saturday with the new memories. please find below the dump files output for your reference kindly let me know why it is happening? is there HDD issue?
If BSOD has occured and suspect are Dimms then hardware entries needs to be checked if this is pointing to memory registry. You also need to make sure that the firmware of the server is updated as multiple fixes are available for memory in the BIOS. Since an outage has occured we recommend you to log a case with HPE as hardware logs also needs to be checked and if the issue is caused by Dimms needs to be isolated.
some time ago I bought a Medion Erazer P6661 (MSN - 30019955) and it worked perfectly fine. After using it for some time - 2 weeks or sth - first bluescreen appeared. From this moment bluescreens appear sometimes and I have no idea why. I guess that no parts are broken inside, I tried updating drivers and BIOS from the official page but it didn't help.
- It might also be worth checking the condition of your Physical RAM so you can rule this out as being the potential issue, try 'Windows Memory Disagnostics' and see what it comes back with. A long with this check the state of your HDD by running 'Chkdsk' in command prompt as Administrator, it'll scan and attempt to repair any issues.
Maybe it's more easy a problem to solve. Did you update your Bios lately? The Bios-Update in the Drivers repository are only to be used if your late/present Bios Version has been or is 2.12 or higher.
If you haven't done so already then It's probably best to back up your laptop and do a clean installation of Windows 10. This could resolve the issue you're having but if not, may rule it out as being software related issue. As the first BSOD occurred roughly 2 weeks into use and from reading your response, then I think this is the best starting point.
