Error message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
SYMPTOMS:
You may receive one of the following Stop error messages.
STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER
STOP: 0x100000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER_M
CAUSE:
This issue may occur if the display driver is caught in an infinite
loop while it waits for the video hardware to become idle.
This issue typically indicates a problem with the video hardware or
that the display driver cannot program the hardware correctly.
RESOLUTION:
To resolve this issue, obtain and install the most current driver
for your video adapter, or replace your video card.
WORKAROUND:
To work around this issue, follow these steps:
1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Display.
2. On the Settings tab, click Advanced, and then click the
Troubleshoot tab.
3. Move the Hardware Acceleration slider to None, and then clear the
Enable Write Combining check box.
4. Click OK, and then click OK.
Note This procedure prevents the display driver from programming the
hardware incorrectly, but you may lose some display functionality
and performance.
Although you can increase the hardware acceleration settings higher
than None to regain functionality and performance, these settings
increase the chance that the issue will occur again.
For maximum stability, leave hardware acceleration off.
MORE INFORMATION:
This Stop error message may also occur in video adapter drivers that
do not represent a physical device.
For example, this Stop error message may occur in the virtual video
adapter driver that is used by Symantec PCAnywhere.
If PCAnywhere is installed on a computer where this error message
occurs, visit the Symantec Web site to determine if there are any
available fixes for your version of PCAnywhere.
