Fix all BSoD events and keep computer safe and clean:
Fortect will find the cause of BSoD and fix it. Here is how to do it with 3 easy steps:
The RESOURCE_OWNER_POINTER_INVALID BSoD comes with the 0x00000132 error code. The bug check points out that an invalid resource owner pointer was supplied. The message doesn’t help you very much, but it usually has to do with a corrupted or missing driver. Of course, as usually for a BSoD, this may also have hardware implications or system file corruption.
How do I fix RESOURCE_OWNER_POINTER_INVALID?
1. Disable the Automatically restart option
Luckily, RESOURCE_OWNER_POINTER_INVALID BSoD occurs randomly, so you will be able to boot your PC to make this change. By disabling the Automatically restart option you will prevent restarting the PC on a system failure and it’s a first step to carefully debug this problem.
However, first, inspect the PC hardware and see if there are any signs of damage or overheating. The system is restarting to prevent further damage to your components.
2. Update or reinstall the drivers
You may also install the latest drivers in Settings > Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates. Some drivers are listed there as optional updates and if you find any, select and install them.
This procedure may be daunting if you can’t find the culprit driver that is causing this issue. In that case, we recommend using adriver updater toolthat will go through your drivers and install the correct ones with just a few clicks.
3. Run SFC and DISM scans
Running SFC and DISM scans is always a good idea when dealing with a BSoD because they will help you fix corrupted system files and repair the Windows image.
4. Restore your system to a previous point
Running the System Restore is a great way to patch things up on your system, but for that, you will actually need to have a saved restored point of your OS. Another drawback is that everything you installed since the date of the restored image will be lost.
We hope that our solutions helped you fix the RESOURCE_OWNER_POINTER_INVALID BSoD and now your system is running smoothly. You may also perform aclean Windows installation, but if you don’t install the correct drivers, or if the problem is caused by a malfunctioning component, the bug check will reappear.
