Bug Check 0x1: APC_INDEX_MISMATCH

The APC_INDEX_MISMATCH bug check has a value of 0x00000001. This indicates that there has been a mismatch in the APC state index.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

APC_INDEX_MISMATCH Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter

Description

The address of the system function (system call) or worker routine.

The value of the current thread's ApcStateIndex field.

The value of current thread's CombinedApcDisable field. This field consists of two separate 16-bit fields: (Thread->SpecialApcDisable << 16) | Thread>KernelApcDisable.

Call type (0 - system call, 1 - worker routine).

Cause
The most common cause of this bug check is when a file system or driver has a mismatched sequence of calls to disable and re-enable APCs. The key data item is the
Thread->CombinedApcDisable field. The CombinedApcDisable field consists of two separate 16-bit fields: SpecialApcDisable and KernelApcDisable. A negative value
of either field indicates that a driver has disabled special or normal APCs (respectively) without re-enabling them. A positive value indicates that a driver has enabled
special or normal APCs too many times.

Remarks
This is a kernel internal error. This error occurs on exit from a system call. A possible cause for this bug check is when a file system or driver has a mismatched sequence
of system calls to enter or leave guarded or critical regions. For example, each call to KeEnterCriticalRegion must have a matching call to KeLeaveCriticalRegion. If you
are developing a driver, you can use Static Driver Verifier, a static analysis tool available in the Windows Driver Kit, to detect problems in your code before you ship your
driver. Run Static Driver Verifier with the CriticalRegions rule to verify that your source code uses these system calls in correct sequence.

Bug Check 0x5: INVALID_PROCESS_ATTACH_ATTEMPT

The INVALID_PROCESS_ATTACH_ATTEMPT bug check has a value of 0x00000005. This generally indicates that the thread was attached to a process in a situation where that
is not allowed. For example, this bug check could occur if KeAttachProcess was called when the thread was already attached to a process (which is illegal), or if the thread
returned from certain function calls in an attached state (which is invalid),
This bug check appears very infrequently.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

INVALID_PROCESS_ATTACH_ATTEMPT Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter

Description

The pointer to the dispatcher object for the target process, or if the thread is already attached, the pointer to the object for the original process.

The pointer to the dispatcher object of the process that the current thread is currently attached to.

The value of the thread's APC state index.

A non-zero value indicates that a DPC is running on the current processor.

Remarks
This bug check can occur if the driver calls the KeAttachProcess function and the thread is already attached to another process. It is better to use the
KeStackAttachProcess function. If the current thread was already attached to another process, the KeStackAttachProcess function saves the current APC state before it
attaches the current thread to the new process.

Bug Check 0xA: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL bug check has a value of 0x0000000A. This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at
DISPATCH_LEVEL or above.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter

Description

Memory referenced

IRQL at time of reference

0: Read
1: Write

Address which referenced memory

Cause
This bug check is issued if paged memory (or invalid memory) is accessed when the IRQL is too high.
The error that generates this bug check usually occurs after the installation of a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS.
If you encounter bug check 0xA while upgrading to a later version of Windows, this error might be caused by a device driver, a system service, a virus scanner, or a backup
tool that is incompatible with the new version.

Resolution
If a kernel debugger is available, obtain a stack trace.
To resolve an error caused by a faulty device driver, system service, or BIOS

1. Restart your computer.

2. Press F8 at the character-based menu that displays the operating system choices.
3. Select the Last Known Good Configuration option from the Windows Advanced Options menu. This option is most effective when only one driver or service is
added at a time.

To resolve an error caused by an incompatible device driver, system service, virus scanner, or backup tool

1. Check the System Log in Event Viewer for error messages that might identify the device or driver that caused the error.
2. Try disabling memory caching of the BIOS.
3. Run the hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer, especially the memory scanner. For details on these procedures, see the owner's manual for
your computer.
4. Make sure the latest Service Pack is installed.
5. If your system has small computer system interface (SCSI) adapters, contact the adapter manufacturer to obtain updated Windows drivers. Try disabling sync
negotiation in the SCSI BIOS, checking the cabling and the SCSI IDs of each device, and confirming proper termination.
6. For integrated device electronics (IDE) devices, define the onboard IDE port as Primary only. Also, check each IDE device for the proper master/subordinate/standalone setting. Try removing all IDE devices except for hard disks.

If the message appears during an installation of Windows, make sure that the computer and all installed peripherals are compatible with the version of Windows being
installed. For example, you can get information about compatibility with Windows 7 at the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

Bug Check 0xF: SPIN_LOCK_ALREADY_OWNED

The SPIN_LOCK_ALREADY_OWNED bug check has a value of 0x0000000F. This indicates that a request for a spin lock has been initiated when the spin lock was already
owned.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

SPIN_LOCK_ALREADY_OWNED Parameters
None

Cause
Typically, this error is caused by a recursive request for a spin lock. It can also occur if something similar to a recursive request for a spin lock has been initiated--for
example, when a spin lock has been acquired by a thread, and then that same thread calls a function, which also tries to acquire a spin lock. The second attempt to acquire
a spin lock is not blocked in this case because doing so would result in an unrecoverable deadlock. If the calls are made on more than one processor, then one processor
will be blocked until the other processor releases the lock.
This error can also occur, without explicit recursion, when all threads and all spin locks are assigned an IRQL. Spin lock IRQLs are always greater than or equal to DPC level,
but this is not true for threads. However, a thread that is holding a spin lock must maintain an IRQL greater than or equal to that of the spin lock. Decreasing the thread
IRQL below the IRQL level of the spin lock that it is holding allows another thread to be scheduled on the processor. This new thread could then attempt to acquire the
same spin lock.

Resolution
Ensure that you are not recursively acquiring the lock. And, for threads that hold a spin lock, ensure that you are not decreasing the thread IRQL to a level below the IRQL
of the spin lock that it is holding.

Bug Check 0x18: REFERENCE_BY_POINTER

The REFERENCE_BY_POINTER bug check has a value of 0x00000018. This indicates that the reference count of an object is illegal for the current state of the object.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

REFERENCE_BY_POINTER Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter

Description

Object type of the object whose reference count is being lowered.

Object whose reference count is being lowered.

Reserved

Reserved

Cause
The reference count of an object is illegal for the current state of the object. Each time a driver uses a pointer to an object, the driver calls a kernel routine to increase the
reference count of the object by one. When the driver is done with the pointer, the driver calls another kernel routine to decrease the reference count by one.
Drivers must match calls to the routines that increase (reference) and decrease (dereference) the reference count. This bug check is caused by an inconsistency in the object's
reference count. Typically, the inconsistency is caused by a driver that decreases the reference count of an object too many times, making extra calls that dereference the
object. This bug check can occur because an object's reference count goes to zero while there are still open handles to the object. It might also occur when the object's
reference count drops below zero, whether or not there are open handles to the object.

Resolution
Make sure that the driver matches calls to the routines that increase and decrease the reference count of the object. Make sure that your driver does not make extra calls
to routines that dereference the object (see Parameter 2).
You can use a debugger to help analyze this problem. To find the handle and pointer count on the object, use the !object debugger command.

Reserved

Reserved

Reserved

The pool header of a freed block has been modified after it was freed. This is not
typically the fault of the prior owner of the freed block; instead it is usually (but not
always) due to the block preceding the freed block being overrun.

0x20

The pool entry

that should
have been
found

The next pool

entry

Reserved

The pool block header size is corrupt.

0X21

The pool
pointer being
freed

The number of
bytes allocated
for the pool
block

The corrupted value found

following the pool block

The data following the pool block being freed is corrupt. Typically this means the
consumer (call stack) has overrun the block.

0X22

The address
being freed

Reserved

Reserved

An address being freed does not have a tracking entry. This is usually because the call
stack is trying to free a pointer that either has already been freed or was never
allocated to begin with.

Cause
The pool is already corrupted at the time of the current request.
This may or may not be due to the caller.

Resolution
The internal pool links must be walked to figure out a possible cause of the problem.
Then you can use special pool for the suspect pool tags, or use Driver Verifier on the suspect driver. The !analyze extension may be of help in pinpointing the suspect
driver, but this is frequently not the case with pool corrupters.

Bug Check 0x1A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

The MEMORY_MANAGEMENT bug check has a value of 0x0000001A. This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

MEMORY_MANAGEMENT Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen. Parameter 1 is the only parameter of interest; this identifies the exact violation.
Parameter
1

Cause of Error

0x1

The fork clone block reference count is corrupt. (This only occurs on checked builds of Windows.)

0x31

The image relocation fix-up table or code stream has been corrupted. This is probably a hardware error.

0x403

The page table and PFNs are out of sync . This is probably a hardware error, especially if parameters 3 & 4 differ by only a single bit.

0x411

A page table entry (PTE) has been corrupted. Parameter 2 is the address of the PTE.

0x777

The caller is unlocking a system cache address that is not currently locked. (This address was either never mapped or is being unlocked twice.)

0x778

The system is using the very last system cache view address, instead of preserving it.

0x780

The PTEs mapping the argument system cache view have been corrupted.

0x781
0x1000

A caller of MmGetSystemAddressForMdl* tried to map a fully-cached physical page as non-cached. This action would cause a conflicting hardware
translation buffer entry, and so it was refused by the operating system. Since the caller specified "bug check on failure" in the requesting MDL, the system
had no choice but to issue a bug check in this instance.

0x1010

The caller is unlocking a pageable section that is not currently locked. (This section was either never locked or is being unlocked twice.)

0x1233

A driver tried to map a physical memory page that was not locked. This is illegal because the contents or attributes of the page can change at any time.
This is a bug in the code that made the mapping call. Parameter 2 is the page frame number of the physical page that the driver attempted to map.

0x1234

The caller is trying lock a nonexistent pageable section.

0x1235

The caller is trying to protect an MDL with an invalid mapping.

0x3451

The PTEs of a kernel thread stack that has been swapped out are corrupted.

0x5003

The working set free list is corrupt. This is probably a hardware error.

0x5100

The allocation bitmap is corrupt. The memory manager is about to overwrite a virtual address that was already in use.

0x8884

(Windows 7only). Two pages on the standby list that were supposed to have identical page priority values do not, in fact, have identical page priority
values. The differing values are captured in parameter 4.

0x8888

Internal memory management structures are corrupted.

0x8889
0x888A

Internal memory management structures (likely the PTE or PFN) are corrupted.

0x41283

The working set index encoded in the PTE is corrupted.

0x41284

A PTE or the working set list is corrupted.

0x41286

The caller is trying to free an invalid pool address.

0x41785

The working set list is corrupted.

0x41287

An illegal page fault occurred while holding working set synchronization. Parameter 2 contains the referenced virtual address.

0x41790

A page table page has been corrupted. On a 64 bit version of Windows, parameter 2 contains the address of the PFN for the corrupted page table

page. On a 32 bit version of Windows, parameter 2 contains a pointer to the number of used PTEs, and parameter 3 contains the number of used PTEs.
0x41792

A corrupted PTE has been detected. Parameter 2 contains the address of the PTE. Parameters 3/4 contain the low/high parts of the PTE.

0x61940

A PDE has been unexpectedly invalidated.

0x61946

The MDL being created is flawed. This almost always means the driver calling MmProbeAndLockPages is at fault. Typically the driver is attempting to
create a Write MDL when it is being asked to process a paging Read.

0x03030303

The boot loader is broken. (This value applies only to Intel Itanium machines.)

Other

An unknown memory management error occurred.

Bug Check 0x1E: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

The KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED bug check has a value of 0x0000001E. This indicates that a kernel-mode program generated an exception which the error handler
did not catch.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter

Description

The exception code that was not handled

The address at which the exception occurred

Parameter 0 of the exception

Parameter 1 of the exception

Cause
This is a very common bug check. To interpret it, you must identify which exception was generated.
Common exception codes include:

0x80000002: STATUS_DATATYPE_MISALIGNMENT
An unaligned data reference was encountered.
0x80000003: STATUS_BREAKPOINT
A breakpoint or ASSERT was encountered when no kernel debugger was attached to the system.
0xC0000005: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
A memory access violation occurred. (Parameter 4 of the bug check is the address that the driver attempted to access.)

For a complete list of exception codes, see the ntstatus.h file located in the inc directory of the Windows Driver Kit.

Resolution
If you are not equipped to debug this problem, you should use some basic troubleshooting techniques. If a driver is identified in the bug check message, disable the
driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters. Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory
options such as caching or shadowing.
If you plan to debug this problem, you may find it difficult to obtain a stack trace. Parameter 2 (the exception address) should pinpoint the driver or function that caused
this problem.
If exception code 0x80000003 occurs, this indicates that a hard-coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but the system was started with the /NODEBUG switch. This problem
should rarely occur. If it occurs repeatedly, make sure a kernel debugger is connected and the system is started with the /DEBUG switch.
If exception code 0x80000002 occurs, the trap frame will supply additional information.
If the specific cause of the exception is unknown, the following should be considered:
Hardware incompatibility. First, make sure that any new hardware installed is compatible with the installed version of Windows. For example, you can get information
about compatibility with Windows 7 at the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.
Faulty device driver or system service. In addition, a faulty device driver or system service might be responsible for this error. Hardware issues, such as BIOS
incompatibilities, memory conflicts, and IRQ conflicts can also generate this error.
If a driver is listed by name within the bug check message, disable or remove that driver. Disable or remove any drivers or services that were recently added. If the error
occurs during the startup sequence and the system partition is formatted with NTFS file system, you might be able to use Safe Mode to rename or delete the faulty driver.
If the driver is used as part of the system startup process in Safe Mode, you need to start the computer by using the Recovery Console to access the file.
If the problem is associated with Win32k.sys, the source of the error might be a third-party remote control program. If such software is installed, the service can be
removed by starting the system using the Recovery Console and deleting the offending system service file.
Check the System Log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help pinpoint the device or driver that is causing bug check 0x1E. Disabling memory
caching of the BIOS might also resolve the error. You should also run hardware diagnostics, especially the memory scanner, supplied by the system manufacturer. For
details on these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer.

The error that generates this message can occur after the first restart during Windows Setup, or after Setup is finished. A possible cause of the error is a system BIOS
incompatibility. BIOS problems can be resolved by upgrading the system BIOS version.
To get a stack trace if the normal stack tracing procedures fail

1. Use the kb (Display Stack Backtrace) command to display parameters in the stack trace. Look for the call to NT!PspUnhandledExceptionInSystemThread. (If this
function is not listed, see the note below.)
2. The first parameter to NT!PspUnhandledExceptionInSystemThread is a pointer to a structure, which contains pointers to an except statement:

typedef struct _EXCEPTION_POINTERS {

PEXCEPTION_RECORD ExceptionRecord;
PCONTEXT ContextRecord;
} EXCEPTION_POINTERS, *PEXCEPTION_POINTERS;
ULONG PspUnhandledExceptionInSystemThread(
IN PEXCEPTION_POINTERS ExceptionPointers
)

Use the dd (Display Memory) command on that address to display the necessary data.
3. The first retrieved value is an exception record and the second is a context record. Use the .exr (Display Exception Record) command and the .cxr (Display
Context Record) command with these two values as their arguments, respectively.
4. After the .cxr command executes, use the kb command to display a stack trace that is based on the context record information. This stack trace indicates the calling
stack where the unhandled exception occurred.

Note This procedure assumes that you can locate NT!PspUnhandledExceptionInSystemThread. However, in some cases (such as an access violation crash) you will not
be able to do this. In that case, look for ntoskrnl!KiDispatchException. The third parameter passed to this function is a trap frame address. Use the .trap (Display Trap
Frame) command with this address to set the Register Context to the proper value. You can then perform stack traces and issue other commands.

Bug Check 0x20: KERNEL_APC_PENDING_DURING_EXIT

The KERNEL_APC_PENDING_DURING_EXIT bug check has a value of 0x00000020. This indicates that an asynchronous procedure call (APC) was still pending when a thread
exited.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

KERNEL_APC_PENDING_DURING_EXIT Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter

Description

The address of the APC found pending during exit

The thread's APC disable count

The current IRQL

Reserved

Cause
The key data item is the APC disable count (Parameter 2) for the thread. If the count is nonzero, it will indicate the source of the problem.
The APC disable count is decremented each time a driver calls KeEnterCriticalRegion, FsRtlEnterFileSystem, or acquires a mutex.
The APC disable count is incremented each time a driver calls KeLeaveCriticalRegion, KeReleaseMutex, or FsRtlExitFileSystem.
Because these calls should always be in pairs, the APC disable count should be zero when a thread exits. A negative value indicates that a driver has disabled APC calls
without re-enabling them. A positive value indicates that the reverse is true.
If you ever see this error, be very suspicious of all drivers installed on the machine -- especially unusual or non-standard drivers.
This current IRQL (Parameter 3) should be zero. If it is not, the driver's cancellation routine may have caused this bug check by returning at an elevated IRQL. In this case,
carefully note what was running (and what was closing) at the time of the crash, and note all of the installed drivers at the time of the crash. The cause in this case is usually
a severe bug in a driver.

Bug Check 0x23: FAT_FILE_SYSTEM

The FAT_FILE_SYSTEM bug check has a value of 0x00000023. This indicates that a problem occurred in the FAT file system.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

FAT_FILE_SYSTEM Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter

Description

Specifies source file and line number information. The high 16 bits (the first four hexadecimal digits after the "0x") identify the source file by its identifier
number. The low 16 bits identify the source line in the file where the bug check occurred.

If FatExceptionFilter is on the stack, this parameter specifies the address of the exception record.

If FatExceptionFilter is on the stack, this parameter specifies the address of the context record.

Reserved

Cause
One possible cause of this bug check is disk corruption. Corruption in the file system or bad blocks (sectors) on the disk can induce this error. Corrupted SCSI and IDE
drivers can also adversely affect the system's ability to read and write to the disk, thus causing the error.
Another possible cause is depletion of nonpaged pool memory. If the nonpaged pool memory is completely depleted, this error can stop the system. However, during the
indexing process, if the amount of available nonpaged pool memory is very low, another kernel-mode driver requiring nonpaged pool memory can also trigger this error.

Resolution
To debug this problem: Use the .cxr (Display Context Record) command with Parameter 3, and then use kb (Display Stack Backtrace).
To resolve a disk corruption problem: Check Event Viewer for error messages from SCSI and FASTFAT (System Log) or Autochk (Application Log) that might help pinpoint
the device or driver that is causing the error. Try disabling any virus scanners, backup programs, or disk defragmenter tools that continually monitor the system. You
should also run hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer. For details on these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer. Run Chkdsk /f /r
to detect and resolve any file system structural corruption. You must restart the system before the disk scan begins on a system partition.
To resolve a nonpaged pool memory depletion problem: Add new physical memory to the computer. This will increase the quantity of nonpaged pool memory available
to the kernel.

Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

DATA_BUS_ERROR Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter

Description

Virtual address that caused the fault

Physical address that caused the fault

Processor status register (PSR)

Faulting instruction register (FIR)

Cause
This error is almost always caused by a hardware problem -- a configuration issue, defective hardware, or incompatible hardware.
The most common hardware problems that can cause this error are defective RAM, Level 2 (L2) RAM cache errors, or video RAM errors. Hard disk corruption can also
cause this error.
This bug check can also be caused when a device driver attempts to access an address in the 0x8xxxxxxx range that does not exist (in other words, that does not have a
physical address mapping).

Resolution
Resolving a hardware problem: If hardware has recently been added to the system, remove it to see if the error recurs.
If existing hardware has failed, remove or replace the faulty component. You should run hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer to determine which
hardware component has failed. For details on these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer. Check that all adapter cards in the computer are properly
seated. Use an ink eraser or an electrical contact treatment, available at electronics supply stores, to ensure that adapter card contacts are clean.
If the problem occurs on a newly installed system, check the availability of updates for the BIOS, the SCSI controller or network cards. Updates of this kind are typically
available on the Web site or the bulletin board system (BBS) of the hardware manufacturer.
If the error occurs after installing a new or updated device driver, the driver should be removed or replaced. If, under this circumstance, the error occurs during startup
and the system partition is formatted with NTFS, you might be able to use Safe Mode to rename or delete the faulty driver.
If the driver is used as part of the system startup process in Safe Mode, you need to start the computer using the Recovery Console in order to access the file.
For additional error messages that might help pinpoint the device or driver that is causing the error, check the System Log in Event Viewer. Disabling memory caching or
shadowing in the BIOS might also resolve this error. In addition, check the system for viruses, using any up-to-date commercial virus scanning software that examines the
Master Boot Record of the hard disk. All Windows file systems can be infected by viruses.
Resolving a hard disk corruption problem: Run Chkdsk /f /r on the system partition. You must restart the system before the disk scan begins. If you cannot start the
system due to the error, use the Recovery Console and run Chkdsk /r.
Warning If your system partition is formatted with the file allocation table (FAT) file system, the long filenames used by Windows can be damaged if Scandisk or another
Microsoft MS-DOS-based hard disk tool is used to verify the integrity of your hard disk from MS-DOS. Always use the version of Chkdsk that matches your Windows
version.

Bug Check 0x30: SET_OF_INVALID_CONTEXT

The SET_OF_INVALID_CONTEXT bug check has a value of 0x00000030. This indicates that the stack pointer in a trap frame had an invalid value.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

SET_OF_INVALID_CONTEXT Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter

Description

The new stack pointer

The old stack pointer

The trap frame address

Cause
This bug check occurs when some routine attempts to set the stack pointer in the trap frame to a lower value than the current stack pointer value.
If this error were not caught, it would cause the kernel to run with a stack pointer pointing to stack which is no longer valid.

Bug Check 0x34: CACHE_MANAGER

The CACHE_MANAGER bug check has a value of 0x00000034. This indicates that a problem occurred in the file system's cache manager.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss.
For information about how to recover from this error, see Resolving Blue Screen errors in Windows.

CACHE_MANAGER Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.
Parameter

Description

Specifies source file and line number information. The high 16 bits (the first four hexadecimal digits after the "0x") identify the source file by its identifier
number. The low 16 bits identify the source line in the file where the bug check occurred.

Reserved

Reserved

Reserved

Cause
One possible cause of this bug check is depletion of nonpaged pool memory. If the nonpaged pool memory is completely depleted, this error can stop the system.
However, during the indexing process, if the amount of available nonpaged pool memory is very low, another kernel-mode driver requiring nonpaged pool memory can
also trigger this error.

Resolution
To resolve a nonpaged pool memory depletion problem: Add new physical memory to the computer. This will increase the quantity of nonpaged pool memory available
to the kernel.
