BSOD kernel_security_check_failure on graphic card driver installation (lemm.ee)

Win 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC, 10.0.26100, AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D processor, 64gb RAM, ASUS ProArt X670E-Creator mboard, AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT graphics card.

All other drivers except the graphics card driver be up-to-date and working correctly; they have been updated directly from the manufacturer sites.

Every time I try to install the most recent graphics drivers (amd-software-adrenalin-edition-24.7.1-minimalsetup-240718_web), I get about 48% of the way through the installation, and then get a BSOD, with the stop code KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE. I've already tried using the AMD removal tool, rebooting in a clean environment and safe mode to reinstall, and had the same issue. Their driver installation tool gives me the option of installing PRO 24.Q2 (which appears to be for their PRO W and PRO WX series of graphics cards, rather than the RX 7000 series; it's listed as a downgrade), but gives me a 195 error when I try. I've just sent the DxDiag.txt and MSinfo32.nfo to AMD tech support.

Since I'm not running games yet, this isn't impeding much of anything. However, I am having issues with my Meta Quest 3--specifically the link software--but I don't believe that those are directly related; I think that's a problem with my home network. The software is telling me that my system doesn't meet minimum spec though, which is not good.

Any ideas?

Is it just installing the most recent version that it has problems with and older versions are fine?

Also is there a specific reason you're running the iot version of windows? I'd kinda expect that to be the issue honestly. Those "debloated" windows installers do a lot of questionable things to the OS and I have not had good luck with them.

Just FWIW, it took a while, but I got everything working. It seems to have been something with some of the excess shit that got bundled with the driver by default. Once I installed just the driver, and nothing else, it worked.

I think it took me something like 6 different installations to get to that though.

Weird. When you say you just installed the driver like you manually picked the INF file in device manager?

As far as I can tell, no. Using the secondary driver that AMD suggests--for the PRO W/WD series cards--gives me a 195 error. The two prior Adrenalin drivers also give me a BSOD with a KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE stop notice.

I'm running the IoT version because I don't want "features" from Microsoft infecting my computer. I'd use 10, but the service life on even the LTSC versions is only 2-3 more years. The last version of Windows that I genuinely liked was XP.

I'm starting to wonder if I have a hardware conflict.

Have you tried DDU to completely uninstall the graphics card driver?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I haven't. I can give it a try before attempting earlier versions of the driver.
