Solution Steps

  1. 1 Press Windows key + X and select 'Device Manager'. Look for any devices with a yellow exclamation mark. Right-click on such a device and select 'Update driver'. Choose 'Search automatically for drivers'. This ensures you have the latest drivers, which may fix the interrupt issue.
  2. 2 If updating doesn't help, right-click the device and select 'Uninstall device'. Check 'Delete the driver software for this device' if available, then restart. Windows will reinstall the driver automatically. This clears any corrupted driver files.
  3. 3 Press Windows key + R, type 'eventvwr', and press Enter. In Event Viewer, go to 'Windows Logs' → 'System'. Look for errors with source 'BugCheck' or 'Kernel-Power'. Note the error details. This helps identify which driver is causing the problem.
  4. 4 Based on the Event Viewer information, search for the specific driver and download the latest version from the manufacturer's website. Install it and restart.
  5. 5 If the error persists, run 'sfc /scannow' and 'DISM' as before to repair system files that might be affecting driver functionality.
