#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : STOP 0x00000139 -- KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE Fix : Rule out memory, then catch the driver Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-0x139 Run as : Elevated PowerShell and WinDbg Expect : 1-2 days Risk : medium Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Repeated 0x139 bugchecks. Do the cheap test first -- memory faults produce this readily and cost nothing to exclude. HOW TO UNDO IT Boot Safe Mode and run verifier /reset. If Safe Mode will not start either, run it from WinRE Command Prompt, or use System Restore. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
