e indicates that a driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state. If it points to a particular application, then uninstall that application. If it points to a particular driver then you should disable, remove, or rollback the driver. Then download an updated driver or updated version of the application from the manufacturer.
STOP 0x000000BE or ATTEMPTED_WRITE_TO_READONLY_MEMORY - The Stop 0xBE message indicates that a driver attempted to write to read-only memory. If it points to a particular driver then you should disable, remove, or rollback the driver. Then download an updated driver from the manufacturer.
STOP 0x000000C2 or BAD_POOL_CALLER - The Stop 0xC2 message is similar to the 0xBE. Follow the same guidelines as shown above. The 0xC2 error message could also be caused by hardware that is defective or is about to fail. I would start by checking any hardware that has been recently been to installed to see if it might be defective and then go from there.
STOP 0x000000CE or DRIVER_UNLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELLING_PENDING_OPERATIONS - This Stop message indicates that a driver failed to cancel pending operations before exiting. It will usually point to a driver that is causing the problem. If it does then you should disable, remove, or rollback the driver. Then download an updated driver from the manufacturer.
STOP 0x000000D1 or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - The Stop 0xD1 message indicates that the system attempted to access pageable memory using a kernel process IRQL that was too high. Drivers that have used improper addresses typically cause this error. If it points to a particular driver then you should disable, remove, or rollback the driver. Then download an updated driver from the manufacturer.
STOP 0x000000D8 or DRIVER_USED_EXCESSIVE_PTES - The Stop 0xD8 message typically occurs if your computer runs out of page table entries (PTEs) due to a driver that requests large amounts of kernel memory. I would start by running Memtest86+ to make sure that your RAM isn’t defective. It might be possible that you need to upgrade your RAM. Be sure to check your computer manufacturer’s website to see what the maximum amount of RAM that your motherboard can hold before you upgrade.
STOP 0x000000EA or THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER - A device driver problem is causing the system to pause indefinitely. Typically, this problem is caused by a display driver waiting for the video hardware to enter an idle state. This usually means that there is a hardware problem with the video adapter or a faulty video driver. I would start by going to your computer’s manufacturer website to install the latest video driver. If you have a video card then visit the website of the manufacturer that made your video driver and install the latest video driver.
STOP 0x000000ED or UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME - The kernel mode I/O subsystem attempted to mount the boot volume and it failed. Make sure your ATA cable is the correct one for your computer. For example, if you need an 80pin cable don’t replace it with a 80 pin cable.
STOP 0xC0000221 or STATUS_IMAGE_CHECKSUM_MISMATCH - This Stop message indicates driver, system file, or disk corruption problems (such as a damaged paging file). Faulty memory hardware can also cause this Stop message to appear. I would start with a System Restore or Drive Rollback to restore a previous driver. You can also use one of the recovery features that come on the Windows CD to restore the Windows files to the way they are supposed to be.
