TROUBLESHOOTING WINDOWS STOP MESSAGES


STOP Messages literally mean Windows has stopped! These appear only in the NT-based operating systems: Win NT, Win 2000, Win XP, and Vista. Most are hardware issues. STOP messages are identified by an 8-digit hexadecimal number, but also commonly written in a shorthand notation; e.g., a STOP 0x0000000A may also be written Stop 0xA. Four additional 8-digit hex numbers may appear in parentheses, usually unique to your computer and the particular situation.

NOTE: Many users search this site for the word minidump which often accompanies these Stop Message errors. The fact that a memory minidump occurred tells you nothing except what you already know — that there was an error. It is the name of the error condition and its 8-digit number that help you determine the actual error condition.

If a message is listed below, but has no articles or explanation (nothing but its number and name), post a request on the AumHa Forums asking about it. STOP messages of this type are rare, obscure, and usually only of interest to programmers debugging their code. Real-life scenarios of a computer user encountering them are unlikely, so I’ve made it a lower priority to document them here; but we’ll be happy to address this in the Forum (which also will tip me off that I should add more to this present page).

General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages


If you can’t find a specific reference to your problem, running through the following checklist stands a good chance of resolving the problem for you. This checklist is also usually the best approach to troubleshooting some specific Stop messages, such as 0x0A and 0x50.

  1. Examine the “System” and “Application” logs in Event Viewer for other recent errors that might give further clues. To do this, launch EventVwr.msc from a Run box; or open “Administrative Tools” in the Control Panel then launch Event Viewer.

  2. If you’ve recently added new hardware, remove it and retest.

  3. Run hardware diagnostics supplied by the manufacturer.

  4. Make sure device drivers and system BIOS are up-to-date.

  5. However, if you’ve installed new drivers just before the problem appeared, try rolling them back to the older ones.

  6. Open the box and make sure all hardware is correctly installed, well seated, and solidly connected.

  7. Confirm that all of your hardware is on the Hardware Compatibility List. If some of it isn’t, then pay particular attention to the non-HCL hardware in your troubleshooting.

  8. Check for viruses.

  9. Investigate recently added software.

  10. Examine (and try disabling) BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.


NOTE: When a STOP message occurs, Windows can create a debug file for very detailed analysis. To do this, it needs a workspace equal to the amount of physical RAM you have installed. If you resize your Win XP pagefile minimum to less than the size of your physical RAM, you will get an advisory message that your system may not be able to create a debugging information file if a STOP error occurs. My advice is to go ahead with this change if you want, but simply remember the limitation so that you can change it back if you need to troubleshoot STOP messages. Some general troubleshooting principles are suggested in theResource Kit for approaching STOP messages overall.

(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
Typically due to a bad driver, or faulty or incompatible hardware or software. Use theGeneral Troubleshooting of STOP Messages checklist above. Technically, this error condition means that a kernel-mode process or driver tried to access a memory location to which it did not have permission, or at a kernel Interrupt ReQuest Level (IRQL) that was too high. (A kernel-mode process can access only other processes that have an IRQL lower than, or equal to, its own.)

0x00000019: BAD_POOL_HEADER
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
pool header issue is a problem with Windows memory allocation. Device driver issues are probably the msot common, but this can have diverse causes including bad sectors or other disk write issues, and problems with some routers. (By theory, RAM problems would be suspect for memory pool issues, but I haven’t been able to confirm this as a cause.)

0x0000001A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
This memory management error is usually hardware related. See the General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages checklist above. If this occurs while installing Windows, also check the Windows system requirements including the amount of RAM and disk space required to load the operating system. If none of the above resolves the problem, see the MSDN article linked above for further steps.

0x0000001E: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
The Windows kernel detected an illegal or unknown processor instruction. A Stop 0x1E condition can be caused by invalid memory and access violations similar to those that generate Stop 0xA errors. This default Windows error handler typically intercepts these problems if error-handling routines are not present in the code itself.

0x00000023: FAT_FILE_SYSTEM
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A problem occurred within a read or write to a FAT16 or FAT32 file system drive. There may be a physical problem with the disk, or an Interrupt Request Packet (IRP) may be corrupted. Other common causes include heavy hard drive fragmentation, heavy file I/O, problems with some types of drive-mirroring software, or some antivirus software. I suggest running ChkDsk or ScanDisk as a first step; then disable all file system filters such as virus scanners, firewall software, or backup utilities. Check the file properties of FASTFAT.SYS to ensure it matches the current OS or SP version. Update all disk, tape backup, CD-ROM, or removable device drivers to the most current versions.



0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A problem occurred within NTFS.SYS, the driver file that allows the system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. There may be a physical problem with the disk, or anInterrupt Request Packet (IRP) may be corrupted. Other common causes include heavy hard drive fragmentation, heavy file I/O, problems with some types of drive-mirroring software, or some antivirus software. I suggest running ChkDsk or ScanDisk as a first step; then disable all file system filters such as virus scanners, firewall software, or backup utilities.

0x0000004F: NDIS_INTERNAL_ERROR
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
This is a very rare error, indicating indicates an internal error in the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) wrapper or an NDIS driver. Start by confirming that you have the best current driver for your network card. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, use the General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages checklist above.



0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card). Use the General Troubleshooting of STOP Messages checklist above.



0x00000051: REGISTRY_ERROR
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
This indicates a Registry or Configuration Manager problem. An I/O error may have occurred while the Registry was trying to read one of its files (caused by hardware or file system problems). This message might also appear due to a memory management error (more common in earlier versions of Windows NT).

In theory, this means that system configuration information is corrupted, especially files essential to Windows startup. In practice it is often caused by RAM problems or other issues mentioned in the articles below.

0x00000075: CANNOT_WRITE_CONFIGURATION MSDN article



0x00000076: PROCESS_HAS_LOCKED_PAGES
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
This error message is caused by a driver failing to release locked pages after an I/O operation. The article linked here contain a method to track the problem if it recurs, and identify the problem driver. (The third parameter of the error message shows the number of locked pages.)



0x00000077: KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A page of kernel data requested from the pagefile could not be found or read into memory. This message also can indicate disk hardware failure, disk data corruption, or possible virus infection.

0x00000078: PHASE0_EXCEPTION MSDN article



0x00000079: MISMATCHED_HAL
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
The Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and the kernel type for the computer do not match. This most often occurs when ACPI firmware settings are changed. For example, you might install Win XP on an x86-based computer with the firmware ACPI enable option enabled and later decide to disable it. This error can also result when mismatched single and multi-processor configuration files are copied to the system.



0x0000007A: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A page of kernel data was not found in the pagefile and could not be read into memory. This might be due to incompatible disk or controller drivers, firmware, or hardware.



0x0000007B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
Windows lost access to the system partition or boot volume during the startup process. Typical causes: Installing incorrect device drivers when installing or upgrading storage adapter hardware, or a virus.

0x1000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M
Essentially the same error as 0x7E above.



0x0000007F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
One of three types of problems occurred in kernel-mode: (1) Hardware failures. (2) Software problems. (3) A bound trap (i.e., a condition that the kernel is not allowed to have or intercept). Hardware failures are the most common cause (many dozen KB articles exist for this error referencing specific hardware failures) and, of these, memory hardware failures are the most common.



0x00000080: NMI_HARDWARE_FAILURE
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
This general indication of a hardware failure is often quite difficult to pin down. Follow usual hardware troubleshooting protocols, in particular: Roll-back any recent hardware or driver changes; ensure that RAM sticks are matched and undamaged; check for viruses or hard drive damage; run ChkDsk to identify file system problems; ensure that all connections are sound inside the computer and all cards well-seated. In tough cases you may need to consult a professional shop for hardware diagnosis and repair.

0x000000C1: SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A driver wrote to an invalid section of the special memory pool. You need a new driver!



0x000000C2: BAD_POOL_CALLER
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article.)
A kernel-mode process or driver incorrectly attempted to perform memory operations. Typically, a faulty driver or buggy software causes this.

0x000000C4: DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
This is the general bug check code for fatal errors that the Driver Verifier finds. The accompanying parameters are the parameters that are passed to KeBugCheckEx and displayed on a blue screen.



0x000000C5: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
An attempt occurred to touch invalid memory at a process IRQL that is too high. This is almost always caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool. If you’ve recently installed any new software, check to see if it’s properly installed; and check for updated drivers on the manufacturer’s web site.



0x000000C6: DRIVER_CAUGHT_MODIFYING_FREED_POOL
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A driver tried to access a freed memory pool. Replace the driver.



0x000000C7: TIMER_OR_DPC_INVALID
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A kernel timer or Delayed Procedure Call (DPC) was found somewhere in memory where it is not permitted. This is usually caused by a driver’s failure to cancel the timer or the DPC before freeing the memory in which the timer or DPC resides.

0x000000C8: IRQL_UNEXPECTED_VALUE



0x000000C9: DRIVER_VERIFIER_IOMANAGER_VIOLATION
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
As the title says, this signals a warning from one of the driver verifier I/O managers. See especially the article linked above for additional information.

0x000000CA: PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR



0x000000CB: DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
This is related to Stop Code 0x76. It appears instead of 0x76 if diagnostic tracking is enabled as described in the General Discussion article below. It indicates that a driver or the I/O manager failed to release locked pages after an I/O operation. Note the name of the problem driver on the blue error screen.

0x000000EA: THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article.)
A device driver problem has caused the system to pause indefinitely (hang). Typically, this is caused by a display driver waiting for the video hardware to enter an idle state. This might indicate a hardware problem with the video adapter, or a faulty video driver.

0x000000EC: SESSION_HAS_VALID_SPECIAL_POOL_ON_EXIT



0x000000ED: UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article.)
The kernel mode I/O subsystem attempted to mount the boot volume and it failed. This error also might occur during an upgrade to Win XP on systems that use higher throughput ATA disks or controllers with incorrect cabling. In some cases, your system might appear to work normally after you restart.

0x000000F2: HARDWARE_INTERRUPT_STORM
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article.)
This error message appers if the kernel detects an interrupt storm i.e., when a level-interrupt-triggered device fails to release an IRQ. Usually, this is caused by a bad device driver. (See the link above for more details.)



0x000000F3: DISORDERLY_SHUTDOWN
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A Windows shutdown failed due to lack of memory. Two avenues of troubleshooting: Treat it as any other “out of memory” problem and try to discover why virtual memory wasn’t able to support the system needs, and/or investigate whether a program (or, sometimes, a driver) is refusing to terminate and thus continuing to demand more memory pages that it is possible to provide.



0x000000F4: CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
One of the many processes or threads crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated. As a result, the system can no longer function. Specific causes are many, and often best resolved by a careful history of the problem and the circumstances of the error message. One user, who experienced this on return from Standby mode on Win XP SP2, found the cause was that Windows was installed on a slave drive; compare KB 330100.

0x100000EA: THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M



0xC000009A: STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES
The Windows kernel has allocated all of its allotted paged-pool memory.



0xC0000135: UNABLE_TO_LOCATE_DLL
Windows attempted to load a DLL file and encountered some error condition. Among the many possible causes are that the file is missing or damaged, or that there is Registry corruption.



0xC0000142: DLL Initialization Failure
Its instances all appear to indicate that an application failed to initialize properly. Usually this is traceable to a DLL initialization failure.



0xC0000218: UNKNOWN_HARD_ERROR
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A necessary Registry hive file couldn’t be loaded. The file may be corrupt or missing (requiring either an Emergency Repair Disk or a Windows reinstallation). The Registry files may have been corrupted because of hard disk corruption or some other hardware problem. A driver may have corrupted the Registry data while loading into memory, or the memory where the Registry is loading may have a parity error (turn off the external cache and check the physical RAM).



0xC000021A: STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article, or see Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit, p. 1561.)
This occurs when Windows switches into kernel mode and a user-mode subsystem, such as Winlogon or the Client Server Runtime Subsystem (CSRSS), is compromised. Security can no longer be guaranteed. Because Win XP can’t run without Winlogon or CSRSS, this is one of the few situations where the failure of a user-mode service can cause the system to stop responding. This Stop message also can occur as a result of malware infestation or when the computer is restarted after a system administrator has modified permissions so that the SYSTEM account no longer has adequate permissions to access system files and folders.



0xC0000221: STATUS_IMAGE_CHECKSUM_MISMATCH
(Click to consult the online Win XP Resource Kit article, or see Windows 2000 Professional Resource Kit, p. 1563.)
Indicates driver problems, system file problems, disk corruption problems (such as a damaged pagefile), or faulty memory hardware.



0xC0000244



0xC000026C
Usually indicates device driver problems.



0xDEADDEAD: MANUALLY_INITIATED_CRASH1
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
“It’s dead, Jim!” This Stop message indicates that the user deliberately initiated a crash dump from either the kernel debugger or the keyboard. Perhaps it goes without saying that you don’t ever want to see this error message unless you did it on purpose!
