Help Needed: Security Kernel Check Failure (0x139) with BSOD

Asked By CuriousG33k89 On

I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with a Security Kernel Check Failure, specifically error code 0x139, which is causing a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) followed by a system restart. I've tried updating my drivers, particularly for WiFi and Bluetooth, and I've even performed a DDU cleanup in safe mode before reinstalling the drivers. Unfortunately, none of this has resolved the problem. The crashes seem to happen at random times; for example, while I'm using Bambu Studio and changing filament types, or even just clicking around in different applications. It all started when I was launching and playing Overwatch. I've attached screenshots of my Event Viewer and several dump files for further analysis. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

To effectively analyze your BSOD issues, it's crucial to gather dump files from your system. If you can boot into Windows or Safe Mode, check the directory C:WindowsMinidump for any minidump files. Zip any you find and upload them to a file-sharing site like catbox.moe. Multiple dump files give us better insight into what's causing the problem. If you don't have any, follow the guide for configuring Windows to create small memory dumps for future incidents. That can help us debug your situation more accurately.

Kernel Security Check Failures are typically associated with buffer overflow issues, likely stemming from memory errors. Since the dump files show similar crash reasons, it's less probable that this is a hardware issue, and more likely related to a specific driver or corrupt Windows files. Keeping track of whether these errors began suddenly or were preceded by other issues might help pinpoint the exact cause. Unfortunately, the dumps you provided don’t indicate which driver might be at fault.

If you're using iCUE and the Gigabyte Control Center, I suggest uninstalling the Gigabyte Control Center first. Restart your PC, and see if that helps with the crashes. In my experience, the software bundled with motherboards isn't always very reliable, and removing it can resolve some stability issues.

Thanks for the advice! I just removed iCUE today after struggling with it, and I'll uninstall the Gigabyte Control Center next. Fingers crossed this helps!
