STOP 0x000000D1 or
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_OR_EQUAL Probably the
most common BSOD ! Occurs when a driver has
illegally accessed a memory location while NT is
operating at a specific IRQL. This is a driver
coding error, akin to trying to access an invalid
memory location. Recovery/Workaround:Usually
none. But these may
help KB810093 , KB316208 & KB810980.

STOP 0x0000000A or
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL A kernel-mode
process or driver attempted to access a memory
location without authorization. This Stop error is
typically caused by faulty or incompatible
hardware or software. The name of the offending
device driver often appears in the Stop error and
can provide an important clue to solving the
problem. If the error message points to a specific
device or category of devices, try removing or
replacing devices in that category. If this Stop
error appears during Setup, suspect an
incompatible driver, system service, virus
scanner, or backup program.
This KB314063 may show you the direction.

STOP 000000050 or
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA A
hardware driver or system service requested
data that was not in memory. The cause may be
defective physical memory or incompatible
software, especially remote control
and antivirus programs. If the error occurs
immediately after installing a device driver or
application, try to use Safe Mode to remove the
driver or uninstall the program. For more
information, see KB894278 & KB183169.

STOP 0x000000C2 or BAD_POOL_CALLER A
kernel-mode process or driver attempted to
perform an illegal memory allocation. The
problem can often be traced to a bug in a driver
or software. It is also occasionally caused by a
failure in a hardware device. For more
information, seeKB265879.

STOP OX000000ED or
UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME Occurs if
Windows if unable to access the volume
containing the boot files. But if you get this
message while updating TO Vista, check that
you have compatible drivers for the disk
controller and also re-check the drive cabling,
and ensure that it is configured properly. If youre
reusing ATA-66 or ATA-100 drivers, make sure
you have an 80-connector cable, and not the
standard 40-connector IDE cable.
See KB297185 and KB315403.

STOP 0x0000001E or
KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED The
Windows kernel detected an illegal or unknown
processor instruction, often the result of invalid
memory and access violations caused by faulty
drivers or hardware devices. The error message
often identifies the offending driver or device. If
the error occurred immediately after installing a
driver or service, try disabling or removing the
new addition.

STOP 000000024 or NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM A
problem occurred within the NTFS file-system
driver. A similar Stop error, 023, exists for
FAT32 drives. The most likely cause is a
hardware failure in a disk or disk controller.
Check all physical connections to all hard disks
in the system and run Check
Disk. KB228888 will help you.

STOP 0x0000002E or
DATA_BUS_ERROR Failed or defective
physical memory (including memory used in
video adapters) is the most common cause of
this Stop error. The error may also be the result
of a corrupted hard disk or a damaged
motherboard.

STOP 0x0000003F or
NO_MORE_SYSTEM_PTES Your system ran
out of page table entries (PTEs). The cause of
this relatively uncommon error may be an out-of-
control backup program or a buggy device driver.
For more information, see KB256004.

STOP 000000077 or
KERNEL_STACK_INPAGE_ERROR The
system has attempted to read kernel data from
virtual memory (the page file) and failed to find
the data at the specified memory address. This
Stop Error can be caused by a variety of
problems, including defective memory, a
malfunctioning hard disk, an improperly
configured disk controller or cable, corrupted
data, or a virus infection. For additional
information, click KB228753.

STOP 0x0000007F or
UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP Most
likely due to a Hardware failure, like defective
memory chips, mismatched memory modules, a
malfunctioning CPU, or a failure in your fan or
power supply are the probable reasons for this
BSOD. Can also occur if you have overclocked
your CPU. The message gives more details. For
more help see KB137539.

STOP 0x000000D8 or
DRIVER_USED_EXCESSIVE_PTES This
indicated that a poorly written driver is causing
your computer to request large amounts of
kernel memory. Troubleshooting suggestions are
identical to those found in the STOP 0X3F
message. KB256004 will help you

STOP 0X000000EA or
THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER Could
occur after you install a new video adapter or an
updated (and poorly written) video driver.
Replacing the video adapter or using a different
video driver could help. See KB293078.

STOP 0XC000021A or
STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED
Occurs if there is a serious security problem with
Windows. A subsystem, such as Winlogon or the
CSRSS is compromised;or due to a mismatch in
system files; or if system permissions have been
incorrectly modified. A common cause of this
problem is some 3rd-party program. Try to
identify any new program which you have
installed and uninstall it.

STOP 0XC00000221 or
STATUS_IMAGE_CHECKSUM_MISMATCH Th
is indicates a damaged page file; or disk or file
corruption; or a faulty hardware. The error will
indicate the exact nature and the name of the
damaged system file. You may have to use the
Windows recovery Environment or a System
Restore or Last Known Good Configuration to
resolve this issue.
