Things to understand What are the Windows error codes?
Comments Adrian Grigorof (Last update 10/6/2003):
Most of the problems leading to this event indicate faulty hardware, bugs
in device drivers or incompatible hardware.

A troubleshooting approach from a newsgroup post: "Boot from CD to start
the Recovery Console, then read setuplog.txt, and setupapi.log, to see what
happens when it boots.

Another newsgroup posts suggests that this error requires the debugger to
look at the parameters of the error. Usually this is some hardware driver
failure. Running 'verifier' may identify it. Article Q244617 - How to Use
Driver Verifier to Troubleshoot Device Drivers in Windows 2000 may help."

Error code 0000000a = "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" - The error that generates
this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device
driver, system service, or BIOS. For additional details see the link to
error code 0x0000000a.

Error code 00000020 = "KERNEL_APC_PENDING_DURING_EXIT" - May indicate a bug
in a device driver. For additional details see the link to error code
0x00000020.

Error code 00000050 = "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" - See the link to
error code 00000050 for information about what may cause this.

Error code 0000009c = "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" - This indicates that a
fatal machine check exception has occurred. See also Q162363 and error code
0x0000009c.

Error code 000000ce =
"DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS" - This indicates
that a driver failed to cancel pending operations before unloading. If the
driver responsible for the error can be identified, its name is printed on
the blue screen.

Error code 000000ea = "THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER" - A 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. In many cases this is
the result of a bad video card or a bad display driver.

Error code 1000007f = "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP_M" - The first parameter
displayed on the blue screen specifies the trap number. Trap number
0x00000000, or Divide by Zero Error, may indicate memory corruption. Other
hardware problems, or software failures can cause this error. See the the
link to Bug Check codes for more explanations about various trap numbers.

Error code 1000008e = "KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M" - Most of
newsgroup comments about this error point to faulty hardware or drivers.
The hardware varies from modems, video cards, USB device to memory or sound
cards. Sometimes it proves to be hardware that it is not compatible with
Windows XP. Q310740 gives an example of this error occuring when and old
Audigy sound card driver is installed.

Error code 100000be = "ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY" - This is issued
if a driver attempts to write to a read-only memory segment. If the driver
responsible for the error can be identified, its name is printed on the
blue screen. A faulty device driver would typically be the cause of that.
Also, potential file corruption.

Error code 100000ea = "THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M" - This indicates
that a thread in a device driver is endlessly spinning. See the information
for 000000ea.

Error code 0000007F = "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP" - From a newsgroup
post: "According to Q104292, there are two known causes for this error:
- corrupt system files, especially file system files
- mismatched memory or motherboard problem
This error generally occurs during boot, with no parameters specified
except the first one. Suggested troubleshooting is to run repair to check
for corrupt files, then low-level hardware diagnostics (including
diagnosing RAM and the motherboard)." See also the link to error code
0x0000007F.

Error code 0x10000050 = Some information about this type of error can be
found via the error code 0x10000050 link.

- Error code 00000050 = "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" - See Q817197.
- Error code 0000001E - See Q820767.

In my case, the error occurred after installing Kingston HyperX KHX3200/512
in a P4C800 and activated performance mode in BIOS. After I disabled
Performance Mode, the problem disappeared.

Christian Garbass (Last update 10/17/2003):
Error code 0000007f = "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP" - When I remote
controlled a machine with Altiris Carbon Copy 5.8.410 and tried to open a
shortcut on the desktop of the controlled machine it caused the machine to
hang up and to reboot.

Isd503 (Last update 9/22/2003):
Error code 0000007f = "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP" - This error surfaced
on my machine running Windows XP Professional, SP-1. I tried the suggestion
of setting the virtual memory to zero and rebooting. After logon, I
recreated the page file and the problem dissapeared.

Adrian Florin Moisei (Last update 5/15/2003):
Error code 000000d1 = "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". A faulty device
driver would typically be the cause of that. See also the comments for
event id 1001 from "Save Dump".

Error code 000000c2 = "BAD_POOL_CALLER" - See Q265879 link below.
Error code 00000044 = "MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS" - See Q196022,
Q296734 and Q294876.

Windows XP SP1 resolve this issue. See Q317277.

In my case, this error for a motherboard using Bus Mastering and a NIC that
does not support Bus Mastering. When Bus mastering is disabled from BIOS,
this type of error went away.

With error code 100000ea, this occured in my case due to a faulty video
card.

>From the net, someone mentioned setting the Virtual memory to 0 and then
reboot, delete the pagefile.sys file. Then set the virtual memory back to
normal. It worked for me.

Turned out to be BlackIce v2.9 causing blue screen.
