Kernel Auto Boost Lock Acquisition with Raised

In fact, I am writing this article to assist you to fix the error. Here, I will also include the possible reasons behind the error. Let’s explore.

Why the BSOD Error Occurs?

The BSOD crash occurs for a couple of reasons. Before describing the fixes, I am going to include these reasons briefly. It will help you to be conscious of the error. 

  • In most cases, the error occurs for the wireless adapter. Mismatch in the communication while transferring the signal without the wire can be responsible for the error. In this case, you can recover your PC from the error by disabling, updating, or uninstalling the wireless adapter. 
  • The error also occurs for Bluetooth devices like mice, keyboards, headphones, and so on. Here you may need to roll back the related driver to fix the error.
  • The BSOD crash may take place for the Boot Configuration Data Corruption. If it is so with your PC, you have to rebuild the BCD.
  • Another unexpected reason for occurring the error can be an external device. The operating system may fall into trouble with the interruption of an external device. So if the discussed BSOD error happens to you for the external device, you will need to remove the device and disable the related driver.

Final Words

Therefore, the chance will be 50-50 that the fix no. 1 will help you in first apply if the kernel auto boost lock acquisition with raised IRQL.

However, if you are in a hurry, you can apply the fix no. 3. I assume that it will give you an outstanding result. In case, if it fails somehow, you need to follow the fix no. 2 and 5.
