WINDOWS ERRORS
STOP MESSAGES APPEARING IN:
Windows 2000
Windows XP
**Please note**
This information is here only to help you in discovering possible reasons for the "STOP ERROR MESSAGE" you are receiving. As with everything, there are multiple
possibilities and these are only a few of the more common ones.
General Info
Most STOP MESSAGES are caused by hardware issues. Therefore if you have recently added new hardware, verify that it's
compatible (this info can be found on Microsoft's website).
Alternatively, new software might be causing the message. ALWAYS check for viruses when your computer starts to act up.
List of the more common Stop Messages and their meaning:
0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - Usually cause by bad driver or incompatible hardware/software. 0x00000012: TRAP_CAUSE_UNKNOWN - Indicates a trap from an unknown cause. Check the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List to verify that the hardware and its drivers are compatible with Windows 2000. 0x0000001A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT - Indicates a general memory management problem. If you are installing Windows 2000 for the first time, check the Windows 2000 system requirements, including the amount of RAM and disk space required to load the operating system. 0x0000001E: KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED - Indicates that a kernel-mode exception was not handled. Usually, the exception address pinpoints the driver/function that caused the problem. 0x00000023: FAT_FILE_SYSTEM - Naturally caused by a FAT file system problem. If this is the first time you have booted after installing new hardware, remove the hardware and boot again. 0x00000024: NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM - A problem occurred within NTFS.SYS (the driver file that allows the system to read and write to NTFS file system drives.) There may be a physical problem with the disk, or an IRP may be corrupted. 0x0000002E: DATA_BUS_ERROR - Usually caused by defective RAM(on motherboard or video card). Also can be an indication of damamge to the hard drive due to a virus. 0x00000044: MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS - Most often caused by a hardware driver issue. 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA - The requested data was not in memory. Caused by defective memory or incompatible software. Sometimes a hardware problem. 0x00000051: REGISTRY_ERROR - Pretty obvious that this is a registry issue. Usually a registry or configuration management issue. 0x00000058: FTDISK_INTERNAL_ERROR - Indicates an inconsistency between pages in the primary and secondary data caches. This is a fault-tolerant disk driver internal error. 0x0000005A: CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED - A critical service failed to initialize while starting the LastKnownGood control set. If this is the first time you have booted after installing new hardware, remove the hardware and boot again. 0x00000077: KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR - Kernel data requested from the pagefile could not be found or read into memory. This message also may indicate disk hardware failure,data corruption, or virus. 0x0000007A: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR - Kernel data requested from the pagefile could not be found. Possibly due to incompatible disk or controller drivers, or hardware. 0x0000007B: INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE - Caused by installing incorrect device drivers when installing or upgrading storage adapter hardware, or a virus. 0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED - Almsot always caused by a hardware compatibility issue. 0x000000A5: ACPI_BIOS_ERROR - Errors in the ACPI BIOS. Nothing can be done at an operating system level to fix the problem. 0x000000B4: VIDEO_DRIVER_INIT_FAILURE - Video driver failed to initialize, video driver issue. 0x000000BE: ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY - Commonly occurs after installing a faulty device driver. To to correct the problem try disabling or removing the driver. 0x000000D1: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - The system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. The most typical cause is a bad device driver. 0xC0000135: UNABLE TO LOCATE DLL - Windows attempted to load a DLL file and encountered an error condition. So of the possible causes are that the file is missing or damaged, or that the is Registry is corrupt. 0xC0000221: STATUS_IMAGE_CHECKSUM_MISMATCH - Possibly caused by driver problems, system file problems, disk corruption problems or faulty memory.
There are many many other STOP ERROR Messages that can be recieved, this is only a short compilation of some. How to Recover from a Corrupted Registry That Prevents Windows XP from Starting: Please see This Microsoft Article.
