Safe next steps
- For 0x00000144 (BUGCODE_USB3_DRIVER), record the stop code, four parameters if available, and the driver file shown on screen or in the dump.
- If Windows starts, compare recently changed drivers with the exact PC or device maker’s support page. Use Safe Mode only if normal startup fails.
- A named module may be where Windows stopped, not the proven root cause. Avoid broad driver removal.
After one step, repeat the original operation and record whether this same code returns. A different code needs a fresh interpretation.
