This tip will help your troubleshoot either of the following BSODs:
STOP: 0x0000003F (0xA,0xB,0xC,0xD) NO_MORE_SYSTEM_PTES
STOP: 0x000000D8 (0xW,0xX,0xY,0xZ) DRIVER_USED_EXCESSIVE_PTES
NO_MORE_SYSTEM_PTES
This is generally the result of a driver that is not cleaning up after itself. The (0xA,0xB,0xC,0xD) parameters will vary from computer to computer, but have the following meaning:0xA - Page Table Entry (PTE) type: 0=system expansion, 1=non-paged pool expansion.
0xB - Requested size.
0xC - Total free system PTEs.
0xD - Total system PTEs.
To find the misbehaving driver:
1. Use Regedt32 to navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management.
2. Edit or Add Value name TrackPtes, a REG_DWORD data type, and set the data value to 1.
NOTE: This registry value will cause the system to save stack traces, so you can identify the driver.
DRIVER_USED_EXCESSIVE_PTES
This is generally the result of running out of PTEs. The (0xW,0xX,0xY,0xZ) parameters will vary from computer to computer, but have the following meaning:0xW - If not null, it contains the name of the driver, possibly in unicode.
0xX - If not null, it contains the number of PTEs used by the driver.
0xY - Total free system PTEs.
0xZ - Total system PTEs.
Either replace the driver or increase the number of PTEs. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q247904 - How to Configure the Paged Address Pool and System PTE Memory.
