The subject STOP messages are related to the inability of Windows NT to load a pagefile record into memory due to either a software or hardware failure. They possible causes are:
- A bad block.
- Improper termination on a SCSI device.
- Bad cabling from the controller to the disk.
- A disk controller error.
- Exhausting the non-paged pool resources.
The value of the second hexadecimal paramater may help you pinpoint the actual cause of the error:
| Value | M e a n i n g |
| 0xC000009A | STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES, caused by lack of non-paged pool. |
| 0xC000009C | STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR, generally due to bad block on the drive. |
| 0xC000009D | STATUS_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED, bad or loose cabling, termination, or controller not seeing drive. |
| 0xC000016A | STATUS_DISK_OPERATION_FAILED, also caused by bad block on the drive. |
| 0xC0000185 | STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR, caused by improper termination or bad cabling on SCSI devices. |
If you know someone who has the MSDN DDK, the NTSTATUS.H file has additional status codes.
