BugChecks and what to do about them:
Bugchecks with no descriptions are either checked builds
only or very rare. If you get one of these and a kernel
debugger is available do the following
kb
!process 0 7
!vm
!errlog
Note:
Please use following format for modifications in this file, it helps
the debugger to extract the description text from this file:

APC_INDEX_MISMATCH (0x1)
This is a kernel internal error which can occur on a checked build.
The most common reason to see such a bugcheck would occur when a
filesystem had a mismatched number of KeEnterCriticalRegion calls compared
to KeLeaveCriticalRegion calls. This check is made on exit from a system
call.
PARAMETERS
1 - address of system function (system call)
2 - Thread->ApcStateIndex << 8 | Previous ApcStateIndex
3 - Thread->KernelApcDicable
4 - Previous KernelApcDisable
DEVICE_QUEUE_NOT_BUSY (0x2)
INVALID_AFFINITY_SET (0x3)
INVALID_DATA_ACCESS_TRAP (0x4)
INVALID_PROCESS_ATTACH_ATTEMPT (0x5)
INVALID_PROCESS_DETACH_ATTEMPT (0x6)
INVALID_SOFTWARE_INTERRUPT (0x7)
IRQL_NOT_DISPATCH_LEVEL (0x8)
IRQL_NOT_GREATER_OR_EQUAL (0x9)
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (0xA)
PARAMETERS
1 - memory referenced
2 - IRQL
3 - value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
4 - address which referenced memory
DESCRIPTION
An attempt was made to access a pagable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is usually
caused by drivers using improper addresses.
If a kernel debugger is available get the stack backtrace.
NO_EXCEPTION_HANDLING_SUPPORT (0xB)
MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS_EXCEEDED (0xC)
MUTEX_LEVEL_NUMBER_VIOLATION (0xD)
NO_USER_MODE_CONTEXT (0xE)
SPIN_LOCK_ALREADY_OWNED (0xF)
SPIN_LOCK_NOT_OWNED (0x10)
THREAD_NOT_MUTEX_OWNER (0x11)
TRAP_CAUSE_UNKNOWN (0x12)
PARAMETERS
1 - Unexpected interrupt.
2 - Unknown floating point exception. Next parameter is enabled and
asserted status bits (see processor definition).
EMPTY_THREAD_REAPER_LIST (0x13)
CREATE_DELETE_LOCK_NOT_LOCKED (0x14)
LAST_CHANCE_CALLED_FROM_KMODE (0x15)
CID_HANDLE_CREATION (0x16)
CID_HANDLE_DELETION (0x17)
REFERENCE_BY_POINTER (0x18)
BAD_POOL_HEADER (0x19)
The pool is already corrupt at the time of the current request.
This may or may not be due to the caller.
The internal pool links must be walked to figure out a possible cause of
the problem, and then special pool applied to the suspect tags or the driver
verifier to a suspect driver.
PARAMETERS
1 -
VALUES:
3 : the pool freelist is corrupt.
Parameter 2 - the pool entry being checked, 4/5 are the read back
flink/blink freelist values. The values are supposed to be the
same parameter 2.
5 : the adjacent pool block headers are corrupt.
Parameter 2 - the entries whose headers are not consistent.
Parameter 3 - the line number inside pool.c (generally not useful).
Parameter 4 - the entries whose headers are not consistent.
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (0x1A)
PARAMETERS
1 - The subtype of the bugcheck:
VALUES:
1 : The fork clone block reference count is corrupt. Only occurs
on checked builds.
DESCRIPTION
# Any other values ( != 1) for parameter 1 must be individually examined.
PFN_SHARE_COUNT (0x1B)
PFN_REFERENCE_COUNT (0x1C)
NO_SPIN_LOCK_AVAILABLE (0x1D)
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E)
PARAMETERS
1 - The exception code that was not handled
2 - The address that the exception occured at
3 - Parameter 0 of the exception
4 - Parameter 1 of the exception
DESCRIPTION
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
An exception code of 0x80000002 (STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT) indicates
that an unaligned data reference was encountered. The trap frame will
supply additional information.
SHARED_RESOURCE_CONV_ERROR (0x1F)
KERNEL_APC_PENDING_DURING_EXIT (0x20)
PARAMETERS
1 - The address of the APC found pending during exit.
2 - The thread's APC disable count
3 - The current IRQL
DESCRIPTION
The key data items are the thread's APC disable count.
If this is non-zero, then this is the source of the problem.
A negative value indicates that a filesystem has called
FsRtlEnterFileSystem more than FsRtlExitFileSystem. A positive value
indicates that the reverse is true. If you ever see this, be very very
suspicious of all file systems installed on the machine. Third party
redirectors are especially suspicious since they do not generally
receive the heavy duty testing that NTFS, FAT, RDR, etc receive.
This current IRQL should also be 0. If it is not, that a driver's
cancelation routine can cause this bugcheck by returning at an elevated
IRQL. Always attempt to not what the customer was doing/closing at the
time of the crash, and note all of the installed drivers at the time of
the crash. This symptom is usually a severe bug in a third party
driver.
QUOTA_UNDERFLOW (0x21)
FILE_SYSTEM (0x22)
FAT_FILE_SYSTEM (0x23)
All file system bug checks have encoded in their first ULONG
the source file and the line within the source file that generated
the bugcheck. The high 16-bits contains a number to identify the
file and low 16-bits is the source line within the file where
the bug check call occurs. For example, 0x00020009 indicates
that the FAT file system bugcheck occurred in source file #2 and
line #9.
The file system calls bug check in multiple places and this will
help us identify the actual source line that generated the bug
check.
If you see FatExceptionFilter on the stack then the 2nd and 3rd
parameters are the exception record and context record. Do a .cxr
on the 3rd parameter and then kb to obtain a more informative stack
trace.
NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM (0x24)
All file system bug checks have encoded in their first ULONG
the source file and the line within the source file that generated
the bugcheck. The high 16-bits contains a number to identify the
file and low 16-bits is the source line within the file where
the bug check call occurs. For example, 0x00020009 indicates
that the NTFS file system bugcheck occurred in source file #2 and
line #9.
The file system calls bug check in multiple places and this will
help us identify the actual source line that generated the bug
check.
If you see NtfsExceptionFilter on the stack then the 2nd and 3rd
parameters are the exception record and context record. Do a .cxr
on the 3rd parameter and then kb to obtain a more informative stack
trace.
NPFS_FILE_SYSTEM (0x25)
All file system bug checks have encoded in their first ULONG
the source file and the line within the source file that generated
the bugcheck. The high 16-bits contains a number to identify the
file and low 16-bits is the source line within the file where
the bug check call occurs. For example, 0x00020009 indicates
that the NPFS file system bugcheck occurred in source file #2 and
line #9.
The file system calls bug check in multiple places and this will
help us identify the actual source line that generated the bug
check.
CDFS_FILE_SYSTEM (0x26)
All file system bug checks have encoded in their first ULONG
the source file and the line within the source file that generated
the bugcheck. The high 16-bits contains a number to identify the
file and low 16-bits is the source line within the file where
the bug check call occurs. For example, 0x00020009 indicates
that the CD file system bugcheck occurred in source file #2 and
line #9.
The file system calls bug check in multiple places and this will
help us identify the actual source line that generated the bug
check.
If you see CdExceptionFilter on the stack then the 2nd and 3rd
parameters are the exception record and context record. Do a .cxr
on the 3rd parameter and then kb to obtain a more informative stack
trace.
RDR_FILE_SYSTEM (0x27)
If you see RxExceptionFilter on the stack then the 2nd and 3rd parameters are the
exception record and context record. Do a .cxr on the 3rd parameter and then kb to
obtain a more informative stack trace.
The high 16 bits of the first parameter is the RDBSS bugcheck code, which is defined
as follows:
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_CACHESUP = 0xca550000,
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_CLEANUP = 0xc1ee0000,
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_CLOSE = 0xc10e0000,
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_NTEXCEPT = 0xbaad0000,
Further the mapping between each of the above RDBSS bugcheck codes and the
corresponding files (all in ...\base\fs\rdr2\rdbss directory) is as follows -
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_CACHESUP ===> cachesup.c
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_CLEANUP ====> cleanup.c
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_CLOSE =======> close.c
RDBSS_BUG_CHECK_NTEXCEPT ====> ntexcept.c
CORRUPT_ACCESS_TOKEN (0x28)
SECURITY_SYSTEM (0x29)
INCONSISTENT_IRP (0x2A)
PARAMETERS
1 - Address of the IRP that was found to be inconsistent
DESCRIPTION
An IRP was encountered that was in an inconsistent state; i.e., some field
or fields of the IRP were inconsistent w/the remaining state of the IRP.
An example would be an IRP that was being completed, but was still marked
as being queued to a driver's device queue. This bugcheck code is not
currently being used in the system, but exists for debugging purposes.
PANIC_STACK_SWITCH (0x2B)
This error indicates that the kernel mode stack was overrun. This normally
occurs when a kernel-mode driver uses too much stack space. It can also
occur when serious data corruption occurs in the kernel.
PORT_DRIVER_INTERNAL (0x2C)
SCSI_DISK_DRIVER_INTERNAL (0x2D)
DATA_BUS_ERROR (0x2E)
This bugcheck is normally caused by a parity error in the system memory.
PARAMETERS
1 - Virtual address that caused the fault
2 - Physical address that caused the fault.
3 - Processor status register (PSR)
4 - Faulting instruction register (FIR)
DESCRIPTION
This error can also be caused by a driver accessing a bad virtual
address whose backing physical address does not exist.
INSTRUCTION_BUS_ERROR (0x2F)
SET_OF_INVALID_CONTEXT (0x30)
Attempt to set the stack pointer in the trap frame to a lower value than
the current stack pointer value. This would cause the kernel run with a
stack pointer pointing to stack which is no longer valid.
PARAMETERS
1 - New stack pointer
2 - Old stack pointer
3 - TrapFrame address
4 - 0
PHASE0_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x31)
System init failed early on. A debugger is required to analyze this.
PHASE1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x32)
PARAMETERS
1 - NT status code that describes why the system initialization failed.
2 - Indicates location within init.c where phase 1 initialization failure occured
UNEXPECTED_INITIALIZATION_CALL (0x33)
CACHE_MANAGER (0x34)
See the comment for FAT_FILE_SYSTEM (0x23)
NO_MORE_IRP_STACK_LOCATIONS (0x35)
PARAMETERS
1 - Address of the IRP
DESCRIPTION
A higher level driver has attempted to call a lower level driver through
the IoCallDriver() interface, but there are no more stack locations in the
packet, hence, the lower level driver would not be able to access its
parameters, as there are no parameters for it. This is a disasterous
situation, since the higher level driver "thinks" it has filled in the
parameters for the lower level driver (something it MUST do before it calls
it), but since there is no stack location for the latter driver, the former
has written off of the end of the packet. This means that some other memory
has probably been trashed at this point.
DEVICE_REFERENCE_COUNT_NOT_ZERO (0x36)
PARAMETERS
1 - Address of the device object
DESCRIPTION
A device driver has attempted to delete one of its device objects from the
system but the reference count for that object was non-zero, meaning that
there are still outstanding references to the device. (The reference count
indicates the number of reasons why this device object cannot be deleted.)
This is a bug in the calling device driver.
FLOPPY_INTERNAL_ERROR (0x37)
SERIAL_DRIVER_INTERNAL (0x38)
SYSTEM_EXIT_OWNED_MUTEX (0x39)
SYSTEM_UNWIND_PREVIOUS_USER (0x3A)
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (0x3B)
INTERRUPT_UNWIND_ATTEMPTED (0x3C)
INTERRUPT_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x3D)
MULTIPROCESSOR_CONFIGURATION_NOT_SUPPORTED (0x3E)
The system has multiple processors, but they are asymmetric in relation
to one another. In order to be symmetric all processors must be of
the same type and level. For example, trying to mix a Pentium level
processor with an 80486 would cause this bugcheck.
NO_MORE_SYSTEM_PTES (0x3F)
PARAMETERS
1 - PTE Type (0 - system expansion, 1 nonpaged pool expansion)
2 - Requested size
3 - Total free system PTEs
4 - Total system PTEs
DESCRIPTION
No System PTEs left. Usually caused by a driver not cleaning up
properly. If kernel debugger available get stack trace and
"!sysptes 3".
Set HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\TrackPtes to a DWORD 1 value and reboot. Then the system will save stack traces
so the guilty driver can be identified. There is no other way to find out
which driver is neglecting to clean up the I/Os. A bugcheck DRIVER_USED_EXCESSIVE_PTES will then occur if the system runs out of PTEs again and the offending
driver's name will be printed.
TARGET_MDL_TOO_SMALL (0x40)
A driver has called the IoBuildPartialMdl() function and passed it an MDL
to map part of a source MDL, but the target MDL is not large enough to map
the entire range of addresses requested. This is a driver bug. The source
and target MDLs, as well as the address range length to be mapped are the
arguments to the IoBuildPartialMdl() function, i.e.;
IoBuildPartialMdl(
IN PMDL SourceMdl,
IN OUT PMDL TargetMdl,
IN PVOID VirtualAddress,
IN ULONG Length
)
MUST_SUCCEED_POOL_EMPTY (0x41)
PARAMETERS
1 - size of the request that could not be satisfied
2 - number of pages used of nonpaged pool
3 - number of > PAGE_SIZE requests from nonpaged pool
4 - number of pages available
DESCRIPTION
No component should ever ask for must-succeed pool as if there is none left,
the system crashes. Instead, components should ask for normal pool and
gracefully handle the scenario where the pool is temporarily empty. This
bugcheck definitely reveals a bug in the caller (use kb to identify the caller).
In addition, the fact that the pool is empty may be either a transient condition
or possibly a leak in another component (distinguish between the 2 cases by
following the directions below).
Type kb to show the calling stack.
Type !vm 1 to display total pool usage.
Then type !poolused 2 to display per-tag nonpaged pool usage.
Then type !poolused 4 to display per-tag paged pool usage.
The crash should be looked at by the tag owner that is consuming the most pool.
ATDISK_DRIVER_INTERNAL (0x42)
NO_SUCH_PARTITION (0x43)
MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS (0x44)
PARAMETERS
1 - Address of the IRP
DESCRIPTION
A driver has requested that an IRP be completed (IoCompleteRequest()), but
the packet has already been completed. This is a tough bug to find because
the easiest case, a driver actually attempted to complete its own packet
twice, is generally not what happened. Rather, two separate drivers each
believe that they own the packet, and each attempts to complete it. The
first actually works, and the second fails. Tracking down which drivers
in the system actually did this is difficult, generally because the trails
of the first driver have been covered by the second. However, the driver
stack for the current request can be found by examining the DeviceObject
fields in each of the stack locations.
INSUFFICIENT_SYSTEM_MAP_REGS (0x45)
DEREF_UNKNOWN_LOGON_SESSION (0x46)
REF_UNKNOWN_LOGON_SESSION (0x47)
CANCEL_STATE_IN_COMPLETED_IRP (0x48)
PARAMETERS
1 - Pointer to the IRP
DESCRIPTION
This bugcheck indicates that an I/O Request Packet (IRP) that is to be
cancelled, has a cancel routine specified in it -- meaning that the packet
is in a state in which the packet can be cancelled -- however, the packet
no longer belongs to a driver, as it has entered I/O completion. This is
either a driver bug, or more than one driver is accessing the same packet,
which is not likely and much more difficult to find.
PAGE_FAULT_WITH_INTERRUPTS_OFF (0x49)
IRQL_GT_ZERO_AT_SYSTEM_SERVICE (0x4A)
Returning to usermode from a system call at an IRQL > PASSIVE_LEVEL.
PARAMETERS
1 - Address of system function (system call routine)
2 - Current IRQL
3 - 0
4 - 0
STREAMS_INTERNAL_ERROR (0x4B)
FATAL_UNHANDLED_HARD_ERROR (0x4C)
If a hard error occurs during system booting before windows is up, and
the hard error is a real error, the system will blue screen crash.
Some common cases are:
x218 - This means a necessary registry hive file could not be
loaded. The obvious reason is if it is corrupt or missing.
In this case, either the Emergency Repair Disk or a
reinstall is required.
Some less obvious reasons are that the driver has corrupted
the registry data while loading into memory, or the memory
where the registry file was loaded is not actually memory.
x21a - This means that either winlogon, or csrss (windows) died
unexpectedly. The exit code tells more information. Usually
it is c0000005 meaning that an unhandled exception crashed
either of these processes.
x221 - This means that a driver is corrupt, or a system DLL was
detected to be corrupt. We do our best to integrity check
drivers and important system DLLs, and if they are corrupt,
the blue screen displays the name of the corrupt file.
This prevents crashes from occuring when we stumble into the
corruption later. Safeboot or boot an alternate OS (or reinstall)
and then make sure the on disk file that is listed as bad
matches the version on CD and replace if necessary. In some
cases, random corruption can mean that there is a hardware
problem in the I/O path to the file.
NO_PAGES_AVAILABLE (0x4D)
PARAMETERS
1 - Total number of dirty pages
2 - Number of dirty pages destined for the pagefile(s).
3 - Nonpaged pool available at time of bugcheck (in pages).
4 - Number of transition pages that are currently stranded.
DESCRIPTION
No free pages available to continue operations.
If kernel debugger available "!vm 3".
This bugcheck can occur for the following reasons:
1. A driver has blocked, deadlocking the modified or mapped
page writers. Examples of this include mutex deadlocks or
accesses to paged out memory in filesystem drivers, filter
drivers, etc. This indicates a driver bug.
If parameter 1 or 2 is large, then this is a possibility. Type
"!process 8 7" in the kernel debugger.
2. The storage driver(s) are not processing requests. Examples
of this are stranded queues, non-responding drives, etc. This
indicates a driver bug.
If parameter 1 or 2 is large, then this is a possibility. Type
"!process 8 7" in the kernel debugger.
3. Not enough pool is available for the storage stack to write out
modified pages. This indicates a driver bug.
If parameter 3 is small, then this is a possibility. Type
"!vm" and "!poolused 2" in the kernel debugger.
4. A high priority realtime thread has starved the balance set
manager from trimming pages and/or starved the modified writer
from writing them out. This indicates a bug in the component
that created this thread.
This one is hard to determine, try "!ready"
5. All the processes have been trimmed to their minimums and all
modified pages written, but still no memory is available. The
freed memory must be stuck in transition pages with non-zero
reference counts - thus they cannot be put on the freelist.
A driver is neglecting to unlock the pages preventing the
reference counts from going to zero which would free the pages.
This may be due to transfers that never finish and the driver
never aborts or other driver bugs.
If parameter 4 is large, then this is a possibility. But it
is very hard to find the driver. Try "!process 0 1" and look
for any that have a lot of locked pages.
If the problem cannot be found, then try booting with /DEBUG and a kernel
debugger attached, so if it reproduces, a debug session can be initiated
to identify the cause.
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT (0x4E)
PARAMETERS
1 -
VALUES:
1: value 1
2 - ListHead value which was corrupt
3 - number of pages available
4 - 0
2: value 2
2 - entry in list being removed
3 - highest physical page number
4 - reference count of entry being removed
DESCRIPTION
Typically caused by drivers passing bad memory descriptor lists (ie: calling MmUnlockPages twice with the same list, etc). If a kernel debugger is available get the stack trace.
NDIS_INTERNAL_ERROR (0x4F)
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (0x50)
PARAMETERS
1 - memory referenced.
2 - value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
3 - If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
address.
4 - Mm internal code.
DESCRIPTION
Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except, it
must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it is pointing at freed memory.
REGISTRY_ERROR (0x51)
PARAMETERS
1 - value 1 (indicates where we bugchecked)
2 - value 2 (indicates where we bugchecked)
3 - depends on where it bugchecked, may be pointer to hive
4 - depends on where it bugchecked, may be return code of
HvCheckHive if the hive is corrupt.
DESCRIPTION
Something has gone badly wrong with the registry. If a kernel debugger
is available, get a stack trace.It can also indicate that the registry got
an I/O error while trying to read one of its files, so it can be caused by
hardware problems or filesystem corruption.
It may occur due to a failure in a refresh operation, which is used only
in by the security system, and then only when resource limits are encountered.
MAILSLOT_FILE_SYSTEM (0x52)
NO_BOOT_DEVICE (0x53)
LM_SERVER_INTERNAL_ERROR (0x54)
DATA_COHERENCY_EXCEPTION (0x55)
INSTRUCTION_COHERENCY_EXCEPTION (0x56)
XNS_INTERNAL_ERROR (0x57)
FTDISK_INTERNAL_ERROR (0x58)
The system was booted from a revived primary partition so
the hives say the mirror is ok, when in fact it is not.
The "real" image of the hives are on the shadow.
The user must boot from the shadow.
PINBALL_FILE_SYSTEM (0x59)
See the comment for FAT_FILE_SYSTEM (0x23)
CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED (0x5A)
SET_ENV_VAR_FAILED (0x5B)
HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x5C)
UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR (0x5D)
386 - System failed because the processor is only a 386 or
compatible. The system requires a Pentium (or higher) compatible processor.
OBJECT_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x5E)
SECURITY_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x5F)
PROCESS_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x60)
HAL1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x61)
OBJECT1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x62)
SECURITY1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x63)
SYMBOLIC_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x64)
MEMORY1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x65)
CACHE_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x66)
CONFIG_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x67)
PARAMETERS
1 - indicates location in ntos\config\cmsysini that failed
2 - location selector
3 - NT status code
DESCRIPTION
This means the registry couldn't allocate the pool needed to contain the
registry files. This should never happen, since it is early enough in
system initialization that there is always plenty of paged pool available.
FILE_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x68)
IO1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x69)
Initialization of the I/O system failed for some reason. There is
very little information available. In general, setup really made
some bad decisions about the installation of the system, or the user has
reconfigured the system.
LPC_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x6A)
PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x6B)
PARAMETERS
1 - Indicates the NT status code that caused the failure.
2 - Indicates the location in psinit.c where the failure
was detected.
REFMON_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x6C)
SESSION1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x6D)
1 - Indicates the NT status code that caused the failure.
DESCRIPTION
The bugcheck code (SESSION1 - SESSION5) indicates the location in
ntos\init\init.c where the failure was detected.
SESSION2_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x6E)
PARAMETERS
1 - Indicates the NT status code that tripped us into thinking
that initialization failed.
DESCRIPTION
The bugcheck code (SESSION1 - SESSION5) indicates the location in
ntos\init\init.c where the failure was detected.
SESSION3_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x6F)
PARAMETERS
1 - Indicates the NT status code that tripped us into thinking
that initialization failed.
DESCRIPTION
The bugcheck code (SESSION1 - SESSION5) indicates the location in
ntos\init\init.c where the failure was detected.
SESSION4_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x70)
PARAMETERS
1 - Indicates the NT status code that tripped us into thinking
that initialization failed.
The bugcheck code (SESSION1 - SESSION5) indicates the location in
ntos\init\init.c where the failure was detected.
SESSION5_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x71)
PARAMETERS
1 - Indicates the NT status code that tripped us into thinking
that initialization failed.
DESCRIPTION
The bugcheck code (SESSION1 - SESSION5) indicates the location in
ntos\init\init.c where the failure was detected.
ASSIGN_DRIVE_LETTERS_FAILED (0x72)
CONFIG_LIST_FAILED (0x73)
Indicates that one of the core system hives cannot be linked in the
registry tree. The hive is valid, it was loaded OK. Examine the 2nd
bugcheck argument to see why the hive could not be linked in the
registry tree.
PARAMETERS
1 - 1
2 - Indicates the NT status code that tripped us into thinking
that we failed to load the hive.
3 - Index of hive in hivelist
4 - Pointer to UNICODE_STRING containing filename of hive
DESCRIPTION
This can be either SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE or DEFAULT. One common reason
for this to happen is if you are out of disk space on the system drive
(in which case param 4 is 0xC000017D - STATUS_NO_LOG_SPACE) or an attempt
to allocate pool has failed (in which case param 4 is 0xC000009A -
STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES). Other status codes must be individually
investigated.
BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO (0x74)
Can indicate that the SYSTEM hive loaded by the osloader/NTLDR
was corrupt. This is unlikely, since the osloader will check
a hive to make sure it isn't corrupt after loading it.
It can also indicate that some critical registry keys and values
are not present. (i.e. somebody used regedt32 to delete something
that they shouldn't have) Booting from LastKnownGood may fix
the problem, but if someone is persistent enough in mucking with
the registry they will need to reinstall or use the Emergency
Repair Disk.
PARAMETERS
1 - identifies the function
2 - identifies the line inside the function
3 - other info
4 - usually the NT status code.
CANNOT_WRITE_CONFIGURATION (0x75)
This will result if the SYSTEM hive file cannot be converted to a
mapped file. This usually happens if the system is out of pool and
we cannot reopen the hive.
PARAMETERS
1 - 1
2 - Indicates the NT status code that tripped us into thinking
that we failed to convert the hive.
DESCRIPTION
Normally you shouldn't see this as the conversion happens at early
during system initialization, so enough pool should be available.
PROCESS_HAS_LOCKED_PAGES (0x76)
PARAMETERS
1 - 0
2 - process address
3 - number of locked pages
4 - pointer to driver stacks (if enabled) or 0 if not.
DESCRIPTION
Caused by a driver not cleaning up completely after an I/O. Set
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\TrackLockedPages to a DWORD 1 value and reboot. Then the system will save stack traces
so the guilty driver can be identified. There is no other way to find out
which driver is neglecting to clean up the I/Os. When you enable this flag,
if the driver commits the error again you will see a different
bugcheck - DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS - which can identify the
offending driver(s).
KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR (0x77)
PARAMETERS
1 - status code
2 - i/o status code
3 - page file number
4 - offset into page file
1 - status code
VALUES:
0 : (page was retrieved from page cache)
2 - value found in stack where signature should be
3 - 0
4 - address of signature on kernel stack
1 : (page was retrieved from disk)
2 - value found in stack where signature should be
3 - 0
4 - address of signature on kernel stack
2 : (page was retrieved from disk, storage stack returned SUCCESS,
but the Status.Information != PAGE_SIZE)
2 - value found in stack where signature should be
3 - 0
4 - address of signature on kernel stack
DESCRIPTION
The requested page of kernel data could not be read in. Caused by
bad block in paging file or disk controller error.
In the case when the first and second arguments are 0, the stack signature
in the kernel stack was not found. Again, bad hardware.
An I/O status of c000009c (STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR) or
C000016AL (STATUS_DISK_OPERATION_FAILED) normally indicates
the data could not be read from the disk due to a bad
block. Upon reboot autocheck willl run and attempt to map out the bad
sector. If the status is C0000185 (STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR) and the paging
file is on a SCSI disk device, then the cabling and termination should be
checked. See the knowledge base article on SCSI termination.
PHASE0_EXCEPTION (0x78)
MISMATCHED_HAL (0x79)
PARAMETERS
1 - type of mismatch
VALUES:
1:
The PRCB release levels mismatch. (something is out of date)
2 - Major PRCB level of ntoskrnl.exe
3 - Major PRCB level of hal.dll
2:
The build types mismatch.
2 - Build type of ntoskrnl.exe
3 - Build type of hal.dll
Build type
0 = Free multiprocessor enabled build
1 = Checked multiprocessor enabled build
2 = Free uniprocessor build
DESCRIPTION
The HAL revision level and HAL configuration type does not match that
of the kernel or the machine type. This would probably happen if the
user has manually updated either ntoskrnl.exe or hal.dll and managed to
get a conflict.
You have an MP (multi-processor) Hal and a UP (uni-processor) Kernel,
or the reverse.
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (0x7A)
PARAMETERS
1 - lock type that was held (value 1,2,3, or PTE address)
2 - error status (normally i/o status code)
3 - current process (virtual address for lock type 3, or PTE)
4 - virtual address that could not be in-paged
DESCRIPTION
The requested page of kernel data could not be read in. Typically caused by
a bad block in the paging file or disk controller error. Also see
KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR.
If the error status is 0xC000000E, 0xC000009C, 0xC000009D or 0xC0000185,
it means the disk subsystem has experienced a failure.
ntmsd is the best alias to take care of these types of failures.
If the error status is 0xC000009A, then it means the request failed because
a filesystem failed to make forward progress. The filesystem alias is the
right alias to look at these types of failures.
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE (0x7B)
PARAMETERS
1 - Pointer to the device object or Unicode string of ARC name
DESCRIPTION
During the initialization of the I/O system, it is possible that the driver
for the boot device failed to initialize the device that the system is
attempting to boot from, or it is possible for the file system that is
supposed to read that device to either fail its initialization or to simply
not recognize the data on the boot device as a file system structure that
it recognizes. In the former case, the argument (#1) is the address of a
Unicode string data structure that is the ARC name of the device from which
the boot was being attempted. In the latter case, the argument (#1) is the
address of the device object that could not be mounted.
If this is the initial setup of the system, then this error can occur if
the system was installed on an unsupported disk or SCSI controller. Note
that some controllers are supported only by drivers which are in the Windows
Driver Library (WDL) which requires the user to do a custom install. See
the Windows Driver Library for more information.
This error can also be caused by the installation of a new SCSI adapter or
disk controller or repartitioning the disk with the system partition. If
this is the case, on x86 systems the boot.ini file must be edited or on ARC
systems setup must be run. See the "Advanced Server System Administrator's
User Guide" for information on changing boot.ini.
If the argument is a pointer to an ARC name string, then the format of the
first two (and in this case only) longwords will be:
USHORT Length;
USHORT MaximumLength;
PVOID Buffer;
That is, the first longword will contain something like 00800020 where 20
is the actual length of the Unicode string, and the next longword will
contain the address of buffer. This address will be in system space, so
the high order bit will be set.
If the argument is a pointer to a device object, then the format of the first
word will be:
USHORT Type;
That is, the first word will contain a 0003, where the Type code will ALWAYS
be 0003.
Note that this makes it immediately obvious whether the argument is a pointer
to an ARC name string or a device object, since a Unicode string can never
have an odd number of bytes, and a device object will always have a Type
code of 3.
BUGCODE_PSS_MESSAGE (0x7C)
INSTALL_MORE_MEMORY (0x7D)
PARAMETERS
1 - Number of physical pages found
2 - Lowest physical page
3 - Highest physical page
4 - 0
DESCRIPTION
Not enough memory to boot Windows.
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x7E)
PARAMETERS
1 - The exception code that was not handled
2 - The address that the exception occured at
3 - Exception Record Address
4 - Context Record Address
DESCRIPTION
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
An exception code of 0x80000002 (STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT) indicates
that an unaligned data reference was encountered. The trap frame will
supply additional information.
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP (0x7F)
This means a trap occured in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
is always instant death (double fault). The first number in the
bugcheck parens is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
PARAMETERS
1 - x86 trap number
VALUES:
0: EXCEPTION_DIVIDED_BY_ZERO
1: EXCEPTION_DEBUG
2: EXCEPTION_NMI
3: EXCEPTION_INT3
5: EXCEPTION_BOUND_CHECK
6: EXCEPTION_INVALID_OPCODE
7: EXCEPTION_NPX_NOT_AVAILABLE
8: EXCEPTION_DOUBLE_FAULT
9: EXCEPTION_NPX_OVERRUN
A: EXCEPTION_INVALID_TSS
B: EXCEPTION_SEGMENT_NOT_PRESENT
C: EXCEPTION_STACK_FAULT
D: EXCEPTION_GP_FAULT
F: EXCEPTION_RESERVED_TRAP
10: EXCEPTION_NPX_ERROR
11: EXCEPTION_ALIGNMENT_CHECK
DESCRIPTION
If kv shows a taskGate
use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
Else if kv shows a trapframe
use .trap on that value
Else
!trap on the appropriate frame (which will be the ebp that
goes with a procedure named KiTrap...) (at least on x86) will
show where the trap was taken.
Endif
kb will then show the corrected stack.
NMI_HARDWARE_FAILURE (0x80)
This is typically due to a hardware malfunction, the hardware vendor should be called.
SPIN_LOCK_INIT_FAILURE (0x81)
DFS_FILE_SYSTEM (0x82)
SETUP_FAILURE (0x85)
(NOTE: Textmode setup no longer uses bugchecks to bail out of serious
error conditions. Therefore, you will never encounter a bugcheck 0x85.
All bugchecks have been replaced with friendlier and (where possible)
more descriptive error messages. Some of the former bugchecks, however,
have simply been replaced by our own bugcheck screen, and the codes for
these error conditions are the same as before. These are documented below.)
The first extended bugcheck field is a code indicating what the
problem is, and the other fields are used differently depending on
that value.
PARAMETERS
1 -
VALUES:
0: The oem hal font is not a valid .fon format file, and so setup
is unable to display text.
This indicates that vgaxxx.fon on the boot floppy or CD-ROM
is damaged.
1: Video initialization failed. NO LONGER A BUGCHECK CODE.
This error now has its own error screen, and the user is only
presented with the two relevant parameters detailed below.
This may indicate that the disk containing vga.sys
(or other video driver appropriate to the machine)
is damaged or that machine has video hardware that
we cannot communicate with.
3 - Status code from NT API call, if appropriate.
2 - What failed:
VALUES:
0 : NtCreateFile of \device\video0
1 : IOCTL_VIDEO_QUERY_NUM_AVAIL_MODES
2 : IOCTL_VIDEO_QUERY_AVAIL_MODES
3: Desired video mode not supported. This is indicative of
an internal setup error.
4: IOCTL_VIDEO_SET_CURRENT_MODE (unable to set video mode)
5: IOCTL_VIDEO_MAP_VIDEO_MEMORY
6: IOCTL_VIDEO_LOAD_AND_SET_FONT
END_VALUES
2: Out of memory. NO LONGER A BUGCHECK CODE.
This error now uses a more friendly error screen that works regardless
of how far along in setup we are.
3: Keyboard initialization failed. NO LONGER A BUGCHECK CODE.
There are now 2 error screens for the two different possible errors
we can get here.
This may indicate that the disk containing the keyboard driver
(i8042prt.sys or kbdclass.sys) is damaged or that machine has
keyboard hardware we cannot communicate with.
It may also mean that the keyboard layout dll could not be loaded.
2 - What failed:
VALUES:
0: NtCreateFile of \device\KeyboardClass0 failed.
"Setup did not find a keyboard connected to your computer."
1: Unable to load keyboard layout dll.
"Setup could not load the keyboard layout file <filename>."
Indicates that the cd or floppy is missing a file (kbdus.dll
for us release, other layout dlls for localized ones).
END_VALUES
4: Setup was unable to resolve the ARC device pathname of
the device from which setup was started. This is an internal
Setup error.
5: Partitioning sanity check failed. This indicates a bug in
a disk driver. The parameters are meaningful only to the setup
group.
MBR_CHECKSUM_MISMATCH (0x8B)
This message occurs during the boot process when the MBR checksum the system
calculates does not match the checksum passed in by the loader. This is usually
an indication of a virus. There are many forms of viruses and not all can be
detected. The newer ones usually can only be detected by a virus scanner that
has recently been upgraded. Boot a write-protected disk containing a virus
scanner and attempt to clean out the infection.
PARAMETERS
1 - Disk Signature from MBR.
2 - MBR checksum calculated by osloader.
3 - MBR checksum calculated by system.
KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x8E)
PARAMETERS
1 - The exception code that was not handled
2 - The address that the exception occured at
3 - Trap Frame
DESCRIPTION
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
An exception code of 0x80000002 (STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT) indicates
that an unaligned data reference was encountered. The trap frame will
supply additional information.
PP0_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x8F)
This message occurs if phase 0 initialization of the kernel-mode Plug and
Play Manager failed.
PP1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0x90)
This message occurs if phase 1 initialization of the kernel-mode Plug and
Play Manager failed. This is where most of the initialization is done,
including setting up the environment (registry, etc.) for drivers to
subsequently call during I/O init.
UP_DRIVER_ON_MP_SYSTEM (0x92)
This message occurs if a UNIPROCESSOR only driver is loaded on a MultiProcessor
system with more than one active processor.
PARAMETERS
1 - The Base address of the driver.
INVALID_KERNEL_HANDLE (0x93)
This message occurs if kernel code (server, redirector, other driver, etc.) attempts
to close a handle that is not a valid handle.
PARAMETERS
1 - The handle that NtClose was called with.
2 -
VALUES
0 : means a protected handle was closed.
1 : means an invalid handle was closed.
KERNEL_STACK_LOCKED_AT_EXIT (0x94)
This message occurs when a thread exits while its kernel stack is
marked as not swapable
INVALID_WORK_QUEUE_ITEM (0x96)
This message occurs when KeRemoveQueue removes a queue entry whose flink
or blink field is null. This is almost always called by code misusing
worker thread work items, but any queue misuse can caus this. The rule
is that an entry on a queue may only be inserted on the list once. When an
item is removed from a queue, it's flink field is set to NULL. This bugcheck
occurs when remove queue attempts to remove an entry, but the flink or blink field
is NULL. In order to debug this problem, you need to know the queue being referenced.
If the queue is one of the EX worker queues (ExWorkerQueue), then the item being
removed is a WORK_QUEUE_ITEM (see ex.h). This bugcheck assumes that this is the case.
The bugcheck ex parameters are designed to help identify the driver misusing the queue
item.
PARAMETERS
1 - The address of the queue entry whose flink/blink field is NULL
2 - The address of the queue being references. Usually this is one
of the ExWorkerQueues.
3 - The base address of the ExWorkerQueue array. This will help determine if
the queue in question is an ExWorkerQueue and if so, the offset from this
parameter will isolate the queue.
4 - If this is an ExWorkerQueue (which it usually is), this is the address of the
worker routine that would have been called if the work item was valid. This
can be used to isolate the driver that is misusing the work queue.
BOUND_IMAGE_UNSUPPORTED (0x97)
END_OF_NT_EVALUATION_PERIOD (0x98)
Your Windows System is an evaluation unit with an expiration date. The trial period is over.
PARAMETERS
1 - The low order 32 bits of your installation date
2 - The high order 32 bits of your installation date
3 - The trial period in minutes
INVALID_REGION_OR_SEGMENT (0x99)
ExInitializeRegion or ExInterlockedExtendRegion was called with an invalid
set of parameters.
SYSTEM_LICENSE_VIOLATION (x9a)
A violation of the software license agreement has occurred. This can be due to either
attempting to change the product type of an offline system, or an attempt to change
the trial period of an evaluation unit of Windows.
PARAMETERS

25 : A suite is running on a system that must be pdc
26 : Failure occurred when enumerating the suites
2 - status code associated with the failure
UDFS_FILE_SYSTEM (0x9B)
All file system bug checks have encoded in their first ULONG
the source file and the line within the source file that generated
the bugcheck. The high 16-bits contains a number to identify the
file and low 16-bits is the source line within the file where
the bug check call occurs. For example, 0x00020009 indicates
that the UDF file system bugcheck occurred in source file #2 and
line #9.
The file system calls bug check in multiple places and this will
help us identify the actual source line that generated the bug
check.
If you see UdfExceptionFilter on the stack then the 2nd and 3rd
parameters are the exception record and context record. Do a .cxr
on the 3rd parameter and then kb to obtain a more helpful stack
trace.
MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION (0x9C)
A fatal Machine Check Exception has occurred.
KeBugCheckEx parameters;
x86 Processors
If the processor has ONLY MCE feature available (For example Intel Pentium),
the parameters are:
1 - Low 32 bits of P5_MC_TYPE MSR
2 -
3 - High 32 bits of P5_MC_ADDR MSR
4 - Low 32 bits of P5_MC_ADDR MSR
If the processor also has MCA feature available (For example Intel
Pentium Pro), the parameters are:
1 - Bank number
2 - Address field of MCi_ADDR MSR for the MCA bank that had the error
3 - High 32 bits of MCi_STATUS MSR for the MCA bank that had the error
4 - Low 32 bits of MCi_STATUS MSR for the MCA bank that had the error
DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE (0x9F)

PARAMETERS
1 - SubCode
VALUES:
1 : The device object is being freed which still has an
outstanding power request which it has not completed
2 : The device object completed the irp for the system power
state request, but failed to call PoStartNextPowerIrp
END_VALUES
2 - Optional Target
3 - DeviceObject
4 - DriverObject
INTERNAL_POWER_ERROR (0xA0)
The power policy manager experienced a fatal error.
PARAMETERS:
1 -
VALUES:
1 : Error Handling power IRP.
2 : Unhandled exception. To debug this, dump the stack. Look
for the function ntoskrnl!PopExceptionFilter. The first
argument to this function is of type PEXCEPTION_POINTERS.
In the debugger, type 'dt nt!_EXCEPTION_POINTERS <argument>'.
Then type '.cxr <value of context record from the previous command>'.
All subsequent debugger commands will show you the actual
source of the error. Start with a stack trace by typing 'kb'.
3 : Failed to write processor context record to hibernation file.
4 : Failed to write I/O context to hibernation file.
5 : Failed to write checksum to hibernation file.
PCI_BUS_DRIVER_INTERNAL (0xA1)
The PCI Bus driver detected inconsistency
problems in its internal structures and could not continue.

VALUES:
2 : Table page check failure
2 - the page number with the failing page run index

VALUES:
0 :
2 - the page number in of the table page which failed
END_VALUES
3 : The checksum for the range of memory listed is incorrect
2 - starting physical page # of the range
3 - length (in pages) of the range
4 - the page number of the table page containing this run
ACPI_DRIVER_INTERNAL (0xA3)
The ACPI Driver detected an internal inconsistency. The inconsistency is
so severe that continuing to run would cause serious problems.
The ACPI driver calls this when the state is so inconsistent that proceeding
would actually be dangerous. The problem may or may not be a BIOS issue, but
we cannot actually tell.
To find the place where the driver died, look at the 2nd parameter. The high
word corresponds to an entry in wdm\acpi\driver\nt\debug.h. The low word
corresponds to a line number.

Interrupt Routing Failures/Incompatibilities:
A _PRT is the ACPI BIOS object that specifies how all the
PCI devices are connected to the interrupt controllers. PRT
stands for PCI Routing Table. A machine with multiple PCI
busses may have multiple _PRTs. A _PRT can be displayed using the
command !acpikd.nsobj <address of _PRT object>
0x2001 --- ACPI_FAILED_PIC_METHOD
ACPI tried to evaluate the PIC control method and but failed
Argument 0 - InterruptModel (Integer)
Argument 1 - return value from interpreter

0x10005 --- ACPI_PRT_HAS_INVALID_FUNCTION_NUMBERS
ACPI found an entry in the _PRT for which the function ID isn't
all F's. The Win98 behaviour is to bugcheck if it see this condition,
so we do so all well. The generic format for a _PRT entry is such
that the device number is specified, but the function number isn't.
If it isn't done this way, then the machine vendor can introduce
dangerous ambiguities

SESSION_HAS_VALID_POOL_ON_EXIT (0xAB)
PARAMETERS
1 - session ID
2 - number of paged pool bytes that are leaking
3 - number of nonpaged pool bytes that are leaking
4 - total number of paged and nonpaged allocations that are leaking.
nonpaged allocations are in the upper half of this word,
paged allocations are in the lower half of this word.
DESCRIPTION
Caused by a session driver not freeing its pool allocations prior to a
session unload. This typically indicates a bug in win32k.sys, atmfd.dll,
rdpdd.dll or a video driver.
HAL_MEMORY_ALLOCATION (0xAC)
The HAL was unable to obtain memory for a system critical requirement.
These allocations are made early in system initialization and such a
failure is not expected. It probably indicates some other critical error
such as pool corruption or massive consumption.
PARAMETERS
1 - Allocation size.
2 - 0
3 - Pointer to string containing file name.
4 - Line number of call to KeBugCheckEx.
VIDEO_DRIVER_INIT_FAILURE (0xB4)
The system was not able to go into graphics mode because no display drivers
were able to start. This usually occurs if no video miniport drivers load
successfully.
ATTEMPTED_SWITCH_FROM_DPC (0xB8)
A wait operation, attach process, or yield was attempted from a DPC routine.
This is an illegal operation and the stack track will lead to the offending
code and original DPC routine.
CHIPSET_DETECTED_ERROR (0xB9)
SESSION_HAS_VALID_VIEWS_ON_EXIT (0xBA)
PARAMETERS
1 - session ID
2 - number of mapped views that are leaking
3 - address of this session's mapped views table
4 - size of this session's mapped views table.
DESCRIPTION
Caused by a session driver not unmapping its mapped views prior to a
session unload. This typically indicates a bug in win32k.sys, atmfd.dll,
rdpdd.dll or a video driver.
NETWORK_BOOT_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (0xBB)
PARAMETERS
1 - the part of network initialization that failed
2 - the failure status
DESCRIPTION
Caused if we are booting off the network, and a critical function fails during
IO initialization. Currently the codes for the first value are:
1 - updating the registry.
2 - starting the network stack - send IOCTLs to the redirector and datagram
receiver, then wait for the redirector to be ready. If it is not ready
within a certain period of time, we fail.
3 - failed sending the DHCP IOCTL to TCP - this is how we inform the
transport of its IP adress.
NETWORK_BOOT_DUPLICATE_ADDRESS (0xBC)
PARAMETERS
1 - the IP address, show as a hex DWORD. So an address aa.bb.cc.dd will
appear as 0xddccbbaa.
2 - the hardware address of the other machine.
3 - the hardware address of the other machine.
4 - the hardware address of the other machine. For Ethernet, a MAC address
of aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff will be indicated by the second parameter containing
0xaabbccdd, the third parameter containing 0xeeff0000, and the fourth
parameter containing 0x00000000.
DESCRIPTION
This indicates that when TCP/IP sent out an ARP for its IP address, it got
a response from another machine, indicating a duplicate IP address. When we
are booting off the network this is a fatal error.

DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL (0xC5)
PARAMETERS
1 - memory referenced
2 - IRQL
3 - value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
4 - address which referenced memory
DESCRIPTION
An attempt was made to access a pagable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is
caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool. Run the driver
verifier against any new (or suspect) drivers, and if that doesn't turn up
the culprit, then use gflags to enable special pool.
DRIVER_CAUGHT_MODIFYING_FREED_POOL (0xC6)
PARAMETERS
1 - memory referenced
2 - value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
3 - previous mode.

END_VALUES
4 : Invalid enumeration of deleted PDO
An enumerator has returned a PDO which it has previously deleted using
IoDeleteDevice.
2 - PDO with DOE_DELETE_PENDING set.
5 : PDO freed while still linked in devnode tree.
The object manager reference count on a PDO dropped to zero while the
devnode was still linked in the tree. This usually indicates that the

caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool. Run the driver
verifier against any new (or suspect) drivers, and if that doesn't turn up
the culprit, then use gflags to enable special pool. You can also set
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\ProtectNonPagedPool to a DWORD 1 value and reboot. Then the system will unmap freed nonpaged pool, preventing drivers (although not DMA-hardware) from corrupting
the pool.

DRIVER_CORRUPTED_SYSPTES (0xDB)
PARAMETERS
1 - memory referenced
2 - IRQL
3 - value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
4 - address which referenced memory
DESCRIPTION
An attempt was made to access a pagable (or completely invalid) address at an
interrupt request level (IRQL) that is too high. This is
caused by drivers that have corrupted system PTEs. Set
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\TrackPtes to a DWORD 3 value and reboot. Then the system will save stack traces and
perform validity checks so the guilty driver can be identified.
There is no other way to find out which driver did this. When you enable
this flag, if the driver commits the error again you will see a different
bugcheck - SYSTEM_PTE_MISUSE - and the stack trace will identify the offending
driver(s).
DRIVER_INVALID_STACK_ACCESS (0xDC)
A driver accessed a stack address that lies below the stack pointer of the
stack's thread.
POOL_CORRUPTION_IN_FILE_AREA (0xDE)

ACPI_BIOS_FATAL_ERROR (0xE0)
Your computer (BIOS) has reported that a component in your system is faulty and
has prevented Windows from operating. You can determine which component is
faulty by running the diagnostic disk or tool that came with your computer.
If you do not have this tool, you must contact your system vendor and report
this error message to them. They will be able to assist you in correcting this
hardware problem thereby allowing Windows to operate.
WORKER_THREAD_RETURNED_AT_BAD_IRQL (0xE1)
PARAMETERS
1 - address of worker routine (do ln on this to find guilty driver)
2 - IRQL returned at (should have been 0, but isn't).

2 - Address of thread
3 - Address of owner table if there is one
WORKER_INVALID (0xE4)
A executive worker item was found in memory which must not contain such
items. Usually this is memory being freed. This is usually caused by
a device driver that has not cleaned up properly before freeing memory.
PARAMETERS
1 - Code position indicator
2 - Address of worker item
3 - Start of pool block
4 - End of pool block
DRIVER_VERIFIER_DMA_VIOLATION (0xE6)

0x04 : Double-freed DMA adapter channel.
0x05 : Double-freed DMA map register.
0x06 : Double-freed DMA scatter-gather list.
0x0E : Buffer not locked. DMA transfer has been
attempted with a PAGED buffer.

attempted using an adapter that no longer exists.
INVALID_FLOATING_POINT_STATE (0xE7)
While restoring the previously saved floating point state for a thread,
the state was found to be invalid. The first argument indicates which
validity check failed.
PARAMETERS
1 - indicates which validity check failed.
VALUES:
0 : Saved context flags field is invalid, either FLOAT_SAVE_VALID
is not set or some of the reserved bits are non-zero. Second
argument is the flags field.
1 : The current processor interrupt priority level (IRQL) is not
the same as when the floating point context was saved.
Second argument is saved IRQL, third is current IRQL.
2 : The saved context does not belong to the current thread.
Second argument is the saved address of the thread this
floating point context belongs to, third argument is the
current thread.
INVALID_CANCEL_OF_FILE_OPEN (0xE8)
The fileobject passed to IoCancelFileOpen is invalid. It should have reference of 1. The driver
that called IoCancelFileOpen is at fault.
PARAMETERS
1 - FileObject passed to IoCancelFileOpen
2 - DeviceObject passed to IoCancelFileOpen
ACTIVE_EX_WORKER_THREAD_TERMINATION (0xE9)
An executive worker thread is being terminated without having gone through
the worker thread rundown code. A stack trace should indicate the cause.
PARAMETERS
1 - The exiting ETHREAD.
THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (0xEA)
The device driver is spinning in an infinite loop, most likely waiting for
hardware to become idle. This usually indicates problem with the hardware
itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.
1 - Pointer to a stuck thread object. Do .thread then kb on it to
find hung location.
2 - Pointer to a DEFERRED_WATCHDOG object.
3 - Pointer to offending driver name.
4 - Number of times "intercepted" bugcheck 0xEA was hit (see notes).
DESCRIPTION
If the kernel debugger is connected and running when watchdog detects a
timeout condition then DbgBreakPoint() will be called instead of KeBugCheckEx()
and detailed message including bugcheck arguments will be printed to the
debugger. This way we can identify an offending thread, set breakpoints in it,
and hit go to return to the spinning code to debug it further. Because
KeBugCheckEx() is not called the .bugcheck directive will not return bugcheck
information in this case. The argumentes are already printed out to the kernel
debugger. You can also retrieve them from watchdog's global variable via
"dd watchdog!g_WdBugCheckData l5" (use dq on NT64).
On MP machines it is possble to hit a timeout when the spinning thread is
interrupted by hardware interrupt and ISR routine is running at the time of
the bugcheck (this is because watchdog's work item can be delivered and
handled on the second CPU and the same time). If this is the case you will have
to look deeper at the offending thread's stack (e.g. using dds) to determine
spinning code which caused the timeout to occur.
DIRTY_MAPPED_PAGES_CONGESTION (0xEB)
PARAMETERS
1 - Total number of dirty pages
2 - Number of dirty pages destined for the pagefile(s).
3 - Nonpaged pool available at time of bugcheck (in pages).
4 - Number of transition pages that are currently stranded.
DESCRIPTION
No free pages available to continue operations.
If kernel debugger available, type "!vm 3".
This bugcheck usually occurs for the following reasons:
1. A driver has blocked, deadlocking the modified or mapped
page writers. Examples of this include mutex deadlocks or
accesses to paged out memory in filesystem drivers, filter
drivers, etc. This indicates a driver bug.
2. The storage driver(s) are not processing requests. Examples
of this are stranded queues, non-responding drives, etc. This
indicates a driver bug.
If parameter 1 or 2 is large, then this is a possibility. Type
"!process 8 7" in the kernel debugger.
3. Not enough pool is available for the storage stack to write out
modified pages. This indicates a driver bug.
If parameter 3 is small, then this is a possibility. Type
"!vm" and "!poolused 2" in the kernel debugger.
SESSION_HAS_VALID_SPECIAL_POOL_ON_EXIT (0xEC)
PARAMETERS
1 - session ID
2 - number of special pool pages that are leaking
DESCRIPTION

HARDWARE_INTERRUPT_STORM (0xF2)
PARAMETERS
1 - address of the ISR (or first ISR in the chain) connected to the storming interrupt vector
2 - ISR context value
3 - address of the interrupt object for the storming interrupt vector
4 - 0x1 if the ISR is not chained, 0x2 if the ISR is chained
DESCRIPTION
This bugcheck, 0xF2 (a.k.a. , will show up on the screen when the kernel
detects an interrupt "storm". An interrupt storm is defined as a level
triggered interrupt signal staying in the asserted state. This is fatal
to the system in the manner that the system will hard hang, or "bus lock".
This can happen because of the following:
- A piece of hardware does not release its interrupt signal after being told to do so by the device driver
- A device driver does not instruct its hardware to release the interrupt signal because it does not
believe the interrupt was initiated from its hardware
- A device driver claims the interrupt even though the interrupt was not initiated from its hardware.
Note that this can only occur when multiple devices are sharing the same IRQ.
- The ELCR (edge level control register) is set incorrectly.
- Edge and Level interrupt triggered devices share an IRQ (e.g. COM port and PCI SCSI controller).
All of these cases will instantly hard hang your system. Instead of hard
hanging the system, this bugcheck is initiated since in many cases it can
identify the culprit.
When the bugcheck occurs, the module containing the ISR (interrupt service
routine) of the storming IRQ is displayed on the screen. This is an
example of what you would see:
*** STOP: 0x000000F2 (0xFCA7C55C, 0x817B9B28, 0x817D2AA0, 0x00000002)
An interrupt storm has caused the system to hang.
*** Address FCA7C55C base at FCA72000, Datestamp 3A72BDEF - ACPI.sys
In the event the fourth parameter is a 0x00000001, the module pointed to
is very likely the culprit. Either the driver is broken, or the hardware
is malfunctioning.
In the event the fourth parameter is a 0x00000002, the module pointed to
is the first ISR in the chain, and is never guaranteed to be the culprit.
A user experiencing this bugcheck repeatedly should try to isolate the
problem by looking for devices that are on the same IRQ as the one for
which the module is a driver for (in this case, the same IRQ that ACPI
is using). In the future, we may be able to list all devices on a
chained ISR.
If you see a bugcheck like this, you should send mail to WINIRQTR to
have the system debugged. People on this alias are well trained to debug
this type of failure and can typically isolate the faulty hardware or
device driver quickly.
DISORDERLY_SHUTDOWN (0xF3)
PARAMETERS
1 - Total number of dirty pages
2 - Number of dirty pages destined for the pagefile(s).
3 - Nonpaged pool available at time of bugcheck (in pages).
4 - Current shutdown stage.
DESCRIPTION
No free pages available to continue operations.
Because applications are not terminated and drivers are
not unloaded, they can continue to access pages even after
the modified writer has terminated. This can cause the
system to run out of pages since the pagefile(s) cannot be used.
