Critical Structure Corruption

[AndyDK]

When i try to install Win 7 x64 version i ran into a blue screen where it says "Critical Structure Corruption" I tried also a Win Server 2017 standard version and this is the same problem when i ran throug the installation.

What is the solution for those blue screen ? I ran a HP Microserver Gen8 4GB ram 1TB disk.

install latest redhat virtio drivers for windows
the whole package and the agent

my guess on ym machiens is the baloon driver or storage, but could also be qxl, not shure
however install all the drivers solves it for me

 

[AndyDK]

How do i install those?

I'm just downloaded .iso file with it, should i upload it to ProxMox and make an virtual server ?

 

[morph027]

Latest (141) QXL drivers are failing for me. Rest is alright.

 

[bofh]

try the spice geust tools (speice space) their qxl has the same version number but is different in size
also try disable ablooning if enabled and upgrade latest promox kernel

 

[morph027]

Can do this tomorrow. For me, it does not matter as the vm user is accessing it via RDP anyway...i'm just used to install all virtio drivers

 

[bofh]

in this case both are the same.
the virtios are qxl which are spice

oh btw for install drivers i jsut made a little batch script.
what it does - it goes in each subdir looks for the driver file and install it,
but you need to put it in a flat structure like
-<dir>qxl
-<dir>driverstorage
-<dir>driverwhatever
-<dir>
-<dir>
driverinstall.bat

oh and it automatic elevates itself into admin

@echo off
if _%1_==_payload_  goto :payload

:getadmin
    echo %~nx0: elevating self
    set vbs=%temp%\getadmin.vbs
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^)                >> "%vbs%"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "payload %~sdp0 %*", "", "runas", 1 >> "%vbs%"
    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
goto :eof

:payload
    echo %~nx0: running payload with parameters:
    echo %*
    echo ---------------------------------------------------
    cd /d %2
    shift
    shift
    ECHO Checking dir %CD% recursively for drivers.
    pause
    FOR /F "tokens=*" %%D IN ('DIR /B /AD /S %CD%') DO PNPUTIL -a "%%D\*.inf" 2>&1     
    echo Install Qemu Guest Tools   
    pause   
    echo going for reboot
    pause
    shutdown /r /D: p:00:00
goto :eof

I got CRITICAL STRUCTURE CORRUPTION on Win2016 with Virtio 1.141 without qlx, no memory balloon we use.

 

[wolfgang]

Please downgrade to 4.10 kernel

Downgraded to 4.10 kernel, two hours passed without BSOD, no qxl, no balloon, virtio 1.141
Thanks for link.

I was facing the same issue but on a different computer than yours and I searched google for the answers and found a working fix for Critical Structure Corruption on a site called Techfries.co

There is an issue named CRITICAL STRUCTURE CORRUPTION. It is an issue that many users have encountered after installing or upgrading their Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. When this issue pops up a blue screen pops up and this issue is stated and you have to reboot your system. This issue is also called Blue Screen of Death and it is because of old and unsuitable driver, mostly it’s the SPTD driver. No worries because here we have some best methods to solve this issue.

1- Running SFC and CHKDSK Scan: You can tap Windows key and X and press on Command Prompt (Admin). Now in the black window write chkdsk /f and tap Enter. Allow the scan run. In case it prompts you to run after resurrect, press Schedule now and reboot. Permit the scan run after reboot. In case you want to go in detail then visit this webpage https://appuals.com/best-fix-steps-fix-critical_structure_corruption/

2- Updating SPTD Driver: Update it and Below Files for download, find for SPTD for your OS. You can check the OS and its system type by pressing Windows Key and R. Write msinfo32 and click Enter. You will see in the information window, OS Name that is your operating system, and System type that is the structure it has, i.e. x86 = 32 bit and x64=64 bit. After finding it press the option of Download button to run the downloaded setup. Make sure that the message, and in the setup press Install. After installation reboot your PC.

    echo %~nx0: elevating self
    set vbs=%temp%\getadmin.vbs
    echo Set UAC = CreateObject^("Shell.Application"^)                >> "%vbs%"
    echo UAC.ShellExecute "%~s0", "payload %~sdp0 %*", "", "runas", 1 >> "%vbs%"
    "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
    del "%temp%\getadmin.vbs"
goto :eof

:payload
    echo %~nx0: running payload with parameters:
    echo %*
    echo ---------------------------------------------------
    cd /d %2
    shift
    shift
    ECHO Checking dir %CD% recursively for drivers.
    pause
    FOR /F "tokens=*" %%D IN ('DIR /B /AD /S %CD%') DO PNPUTIL -a "%%D\*.inf" 2>&1    
    echo Install Qemu Guest Tools  
    pause  
    echo going for reboot
    pause
    shutdown /r /D: p:00:00
goto :eof

How this code works is there anyone who can help me to understand it.
