Ayush, CR2 is the fault address so 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. Given for EFI Virt == Physical the fault address looks like a bad pointer. Sorry I’ve not used VC++ in a long time so I don’t know how to debug with VC++, but If I was using clang/lldb I’d look at the source and assembly for the fault address. The image base is: 0x000000000603C000 The fault PC/RIP is: 000000000603DB60 So the faulting code is at 0x1B60 in the image. Given the images are linked at zero you should be able to load the build product into the debugger and look at what code is at offset 0x1B60. The same should work for any tools that dump the binary.
