You are running a Windows Vista-based or a Windows Server 2008-based computer that has an internal USB device installed. When the computer enters sleep mode, the computer may stop responding. Additionally, you may receive the following Stop error:

Stop 0×000000FE (00000008, 00000006, 00000002, parameter4)
BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER

Note: In this error message, the value of the Parameter4 may vary.

On a Windows Vista SP1-based computer or on a Windows Server 2008-based computer, you have update 941649 or update 944020 installed. When you try to attach a Niveus Ice Vault Disc Changer to this computer, the operating system may stop responding. Additionally, you receive the following Stop error message:

STOP: 0×0000007E (C0000005, Parameter2, Parameter3, Parameter4)
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

When you restart a multicore-processor computer that is running Windows Vista, you may receive the following Stop error message:

STOP 0×0000007B (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

This problem is more likely to occur on a virtual machine.

Consider the following scenario:

• You have a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.
• Multicast forwarding is enabled.

In this scenario, the system may restart repeatedly with different Stop error codes, such as 0×0000001E or 0×000000D1. Or, the system may stop responding. This problem does not occur if you disable multicast forwarding.

A Windows Vista-based computer or a Windows Server 2008-based computer may restart unexpectedly. Additionally, you may receive a Stop error message that resembles the following:

*** STOP: 0×0000010E (0×00000002, 0×00000001, 0×00000000, 0×00000000)
VIDEO_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT_INTERNAL

Note: The four parameters in the “STOP 0×0000010E” error message may vary, depending on the actual configurations.

This problem typically occurs when you are running an application that requires lots of graphics processing. For example, this problem may occur when you play a video game on the computer.

A computer that is running an x64-based version of Windows Server 2003, of Windows Vista, or of Windows Server 2008 randomly restarts and then generates a Stop error. The Stop error code may be 0×0000001E, 0×000000D1, or another Stop error code.

This problem occurs after you install update 932596 on the computer.

Consider the following scenario:

• You are running a Windows Vista-based computer.
• This computer has a USB device, such as a USB fingerprint reader, attached.
• You resume the computer from standby or from hibernation,

In this scenario, you may receive the following Stop error message:

Stop 0×000000FE ( 00000008 , 00000006 , 00000001 , parameter4 )
BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER
