Random Blue screen of death (BSOD) FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE

I recently experienced a lot of random blue screen of death crashes (Error: FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE). It happened quite randomly even after I updated all drivers/firmware to the latest version.

https://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/product-support/product/g-series-15-3579-laptop/drivers

I used Dell pre-boot diagnostic (PSA or ePSA) tool to test for hardware failures for more than 4 hours but found no error. 

Here is the link to the minidump file

Can anyone help me with this? Thank you!

WhoCrashed log but neither RAM nor heat were the problem after testing with Dell's software and MemTest86

crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\041020-10843-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x1C2360)
Bugcheck code: 0x12B (0xFFFFFFFFC00002C4, 0x3AE, 0x27DD0BD5D80, 0xFFFF8B81657D1000)
Error: FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This bug check indicates that a single-bit error was found in this page. This is a hardware memory error.
This is likely to be caused by a hardware problem. This error suggests a case of memory corruption because of a hardware problem. It is suggested you do a test on your RAM modules (memory test) and make sure your system is not getting overheated. This problem might also be caused because of overheating (thermal issue).
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Update: I suspected Avast antivirus (free edition) was the culprit so I uninstalled it. Haven't had the BOSD problem in about a month

Hi @mscmilan . I ran into the same problem yesterday. My laptop is also G3 3579 but i5 processor . Please tell me whether you were able to solve it and if yes how you solved it.

I am having the same issue and my preliminary instigation is pointing to Hyper-V.

Check device manager for an Unknown device (under Other devices). Check their events. It should match the BSODs occurrences and the device instance path should be similar to this:

ROOT\VMS_VSMP\0001

I still don't know how to exactly fix the problem yet without disabling Hyper-V. I can't disable it because I need it for my work. And this is not a a DELL specific issue.

I have narrowed it down to Microsoft NDIS Capture failing to start on Hyper-V's virtual network switch.

Which makes me suspect it has to do with my setup that uses intel wireless NIC, which have been problematic for many times over with their drivers causing BSODs. I think this time is no different.

Going to virtual switch manager of Hyper-V to disable Microsoft NDIS Capture (under the switches extensions) may solve the issue for good. But I don't yet understand the implications of it. I may lose WSL2 connectivity, but still going to test some stuff.

No Events found!
