How to Fix the 0xA0000001 Issue

Method 4: Update GPU Driver

Many users have attested in their posts that incompatibility between GPU driver and the computer can lead to varied, frequent BSODs (not least when you’re using an AMD drive). And some users that were dealing with the 0xa0000001 issue have confirmed that in their respective cases, the problem was caused by a corrupted or outdated GPU driver.

If you are suspicious of your GPU driver on certain grounds, such as the fact that it hasn’t been updated for a long time, we would like to suggest you fix this issue by updating the GPU drivers and the physics module that the computer is currently using (this is critical in case that you run into the issue only when running a game or an application that demands a lot of resources).

If you’re not sure how to remove corrupted drivers before reinstalling them, use the instructions listed below step by step to learn how to update current GPU drivers via Device Manager:

Step 1: Press Win + R to open a Run box.

Step 2: Type in devmgmt.msc in the box and then press Enter to open Device Manager.

Step 3: In the Device Manager Window, scroll through the list of installed devices to expand Display Adapters.

Step 5: After that, a prompt will pop up. Click on the Search Automatically for updated driver software option.

Step 6: After the scan is complete, follow the on-screen instructions to install the latest GPU driver.

Step 7: If a new GPU driver version is successfully installed, you could reboot your computer to check whether the problem is fixed.

Method 5: Reset BIOS / UEFI to the Defaults

If none of the aforementioned methods serves you when you try fixing the 0xa0000001 issue, you could focus your attention on another possible issue related to your BIOS or UEFI settings.

In the case that the issue is created by a BIOS / UEFI error, you can fix the issue by changing the BIOS / UEFI to the default settings. Bear in mind that based on the specification you’re using, the instructions of doing this may vary.

But despite the complexity of users’ different specification types, we’ve posted two different sub-methods that will explain to you how to reset BIOS or UEFI settings:

A. Change the UEFI Settings to Default

Step 1: Press Win + R to open the Run box.

Step 2: Type ms-settings: update & security in the box and then press Enter.

Step 3: In the Update & security window, click on Recovery.

Step 4: Wait for your computer reboot. It will enter into the Advanced Options menu.

Step 5:  Navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options and then click on UEFI/BIOS Firmware Settings.

Step 6: Click on Restart to enter the UEFI firmware settings menu. After that, your computer will restart into the UEFI / BIOS setup.

Step 7: Pore over the menus and select Restore Defaults.

Step 8: Confirm the reset of the UEFI settings, then reboot your computer to make it to boot in the normal way.

B. Resetting BIOS Settings to Default

Step 1: Restart your machine and then press the pre-set Boot key repeatedly.

Step 2: After accessing BIOS settings, look for a menu named Setup Defaults (other names such as Setup Default. Reset to Default, or Factory Default). Then select the Load Setup Defaults option.

Step 3: Confirm and save the changes you’ve made, exit the BIOS menu and then wait for the system to reboot.

Method 6: Reset Every OS Component

If all the methods mentioned above fail, you may be dealing with a systemic issue that you are not able to resolve in a conventional way. In this case, the only method that we recommend you to try is to reset every Windows component to fix system file corruption that might lead to the 0xA0000001 issue.

When it comes to resetting a Windows version to the latest version available, you could try the following two methods:

• Repair install – This is the operation we would like to recommend since it will fix any type of corruption in Windows 10. You will need a compatible installation media. The major advantage of using this method is that users will not lose games, applications, and personal media stored on the operating system drive.
• Clean install – This is the easiest operation because the compatible installation media are not required (you can perform this operation from the GUI menu). However, the main disadvantage of this method is that you must back up your C:\ drive in advance. Otherwise, you would lose all the games, applications, personal media and user preferences.

Method 7: Replace or Return the GPU

In the end, there is a faint possibility that your computer is having a hardware issue. In most cases, repair installing or clean installing should be able to resolve all issues related to software. Hence if the problem persists, the most likely culprit is a faulty GPU.

There are a lot of user reports revealing that a faulty AMD GPU winded up, causing the 0xa0000001 issue.

To check whether that’s the problem facing you, you could try running a GPU diagnostic tool or sending it for repairs if the GPU is still under warranty.

Recover Lost Data Using Bitwar Data Recovery

Besides the unexpected blue screen with which the 0xA0000001 is accompanied, this error could induce another tricky problem, data loss. Hence, to help users iron out this particular problem, we would like to introduce our reliable and effective data recovery tool, Bitwar Data Recovery.

With the help of it, you will be able to recover files that either got deleted incidentally or vanished mysteriously. Refer to the following instructions to learn how the program works like magic.

Step 1: Download Bitwar Data Recovery from Bitwarsoft Download Center and install it on Windows PC.
