KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE (0x139)

Question

KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE (0x139)

Aryan 0

I am experiencing repeated random BSODs with the stop code KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (0x139) on my HP OMEN laptop. In event viewr i checked the BugcheckCode 313

The crashes happen randomly, mostly while using Eclipse for Java development, but they can also occur when Windows is idle or otherwise stable.

I recently installed Windows updates and also updated my NVIDIA graphics driver. After the crashes, Windows sometimes enters Automatic Repair. Automatic Repair is unable to repair the device and shows:

D:\WINDOWS\System32\Logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt.

I also tried Quick Machine Recovery, but the issue still occurs.

I would like help identifying whether this is caused by a faulty driver, corrupted Windows system files, RAM, SSD, or another hardware/software issue.

Please advise how I can identify the exact cause of the 0x139 KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE and resolve it without reinstalling Windows if possible.

Please check to see if your PC is producing any minidump files, I will check those to see if they provide any insight into a potential cause of the system crashes.

Please do not upload a very large Memory.dmp file.

Open Windows File Explorer.

Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump

Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip those up.

Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive... etc.), then choose to share those and get a share link.

Then post the link here to the zip file, so I can take a look for you.

I found 5 minidump files in C:\Windows\Minidump, all generated today. I have uploaded them to OneDrive. Here is the share link: https://1drv.ms/u/c/123b2b1dfe5247c1/IQC6I8GtQXgYRLBuuCPp8e1_AZAqL6MuZ5A-WhWtBfyRczs?e=ccBULm

Your minidump files all indicate it is the Realtek network drivers that is causing your PC to crash.

Go to the support page for your PC on the manufacturers website, then from there, download and reinstall (not update) the version of Realtek network drivers they provide.

If you have any difficulty locating that support page, click your Start Button, then just type msinfo and press Enter, please provide a screenshot of the resulting System Information window.

HP indicate this is the support page for your laptop model where you can download and install the correct drivers from.
