1. Enable Driver Verifier to Identify Faulty Drivers
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator
- Run:
verifier
- Select "Create standard settings" → "Automatically select unsigned drivers"
- Reboot your PC and use the system normally
- When a BSOD occurs again, note the driver name in the dump file (use BlueScreenView or WinDbg)
- Disable verifier after identifying the driver:
verifier /reset
2. Roll Back or Update Problematic Drivers
- Open Device Manager (Win + X → Device Manager)
- Expand Network Adapters, Display Adapters, USB Controllers, etc.
- Right-click each recent or suspect driver → Choose Roll Back Driver or Update Driver
- Avoid downloading drivers from unverified sources
3. Uninstall Conflicting Antivirus or Kernel-Mode Software
- Go to Control Panel → Programs and Features
- Remove any third-party antivirus, system backup tools, or performance optimisers
- These tools may interfere with IRP handling in kernel mode
- Restart your system and monitor for recurrence
4. Perform a Clean Boot
- Type msconfig → Go to Services tab
- Check "Hide all Microsoft services" → Click Disable all
- Go to Startup tab → Open Task Manager → Disable all startup items
- Reboot to see if the error is caused by background services
5. Check for USB, Network, or Peripheral Conflicts
- Disconnect all external devices except mouse/keyboard
- Reboot and test system stability
- Reconnect one device at a time to identify if a specific driver is triggering the BSOD
6. Run System File Checker and DISM
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator
- Run:
sfc /scannow
- Then:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- These tools repair OS components that support proper IRP processing
7. Perform System Restore or In-Place Repair
- Control Panel → Recovery → Open System Restore
- Choose a restore point before the issue began
- If unsuccessful, use Windows Media to perform a repair install that keeps files intact
Final Thoughts
The 0x00000044 MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS BSOD indicates that a driver is incorrectly attempting to complete an I/O request more than once, a severe kernel-mode error.
To fix it:
- Use Driver Verifier to identify the faulty driver,
- Update or roll back device drivers,
- And remove conflicting third-party security or utility software.
If the issue persists:
- Perform a clean boot,
- Check peripheral drivers and connections,
- Or run system-level repair tools like SFC, DISM, or System Restore.
- Addressing this BSOD early helps prevent long-term kernel instability and repeated system crashes.
