BSOD bugcode_usb_driver 0xFE

Hi

I have an ASUS N61JQ-x1. It has windows7 home premium installed on it.


I started having the above BSOD a couple of days ago and it is happening quite often now. I have tried memtest86+ but found no problems. I even tried the sfc/scannow in the command line. again no errors there. error checking reported nothing too. The problem seems to repeat itself more often when I am using a flash drive or external hard drive. The system kept crashing while i tried to backup files. I have even tried reinstalling the entire OS but that didn't stop it either.

I have attached all .dmp files from the minidump folder for anyone to have a look.

Welcome to SF!

Very straightforward, your USB drivers are causing the issue. That explains why it crashed when you tried to backup your files.

Visit the computer manufacturer's site and see if you can find an update for USB or chipset.

First, I use Debugging Tools for Windows to analyze.

Second, the bugcheck points to the driver, not hardware:

BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER (fe)
USB Driver bugcheck, first parameter is USB bugcheck code.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000008, USBBUGCODE_RESERVED_USBHUB
Arg2: 0000000000000006, USBHUB_TRAP_FATAL_TIMEOUT

Arg4: fffffa80050c9b20, TimeoutContext - PortData

All your dmps with the possible exception of one had the same bugcheck and Probably Caused By line, which sounds like it really is the USB driver.

As for the chipset update, go for it. At the worst, it won't help with your problem.

As for the webcam, try uninstalling your USB drivers in Device Manager, and reboot. See if that helps.
