0x000000d1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) BSoD

[CFran]

I got this BSoD with code 0x000000d1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002,
0x00000000, 0x00000000)

It appears quite rarely, like once every two days, and when I'm not
even there. At first I thought it had to do with me installing VMware
5.5, so I rolled back to 5.0, but it stills happens.

Couldn't find anything precise on this BSoD that could help on Google,
since most problems reported for that 0xD1 code are about Windows 2000
(I run XP SP2 Pro), so if anyone can help getting me rid of this

Really? I get all sorts of hits when I do a groups google:

0x000000d1 0x00000000 0x00000002 xp pro

It's not the DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL problem? Fer instance:

or, if that's too long for you,

In any case, are you sure the Win2000 hits aren't a help? If it is a
driver, then they may be perfectly relevant.

Try cleaning up your hard disk.

Try Start, All Programmes, Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp to Empty
your Recycle Bin and Remove Temporary Internet Files. Delete all but the
most recent Restore Point ( Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk
Cleanup, More options). Run Disk CleanUp in all User Profiles.

Reset pagefile.sys to Zero and reboot.

Run chkdsk.
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265/en-us

Run Disk Defragmenter by selecting Start, All
Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter.

Reset pagefile.sys to what it was and reboot.

Does this eliminate the error? If not check in the System Log of
Event Viewer for Warning / Error Reports and post copies.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double click
on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a button
resembling two pages. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

Already went to www.aumha.org and it's not helping. I'd need to
identify the precise cause of the STOP error.

In any case, are you sure the Win2000 hits aren't a help? If it is a

Yeah those hits made me think it had to do with a network driver, but
so far it doesn't seem to be that.

Wow that's a whole program. That last line reminds me that both my hard
disks are like 99.7% full all the time and hyper fragmented (gonna buy
a much bigger disk very soon). Couldn't it be the origin of this BSoD?

Reset pagefile.sys to what it was and reboot.

You know whats weird about that journal thing, it doesn't even give the
same error code as the BSoD. well it just says 100000D1 (no typo
there's a 1 at the beginning) instead of 0x000000D1

How large is your hard disk and how much free space?

To investigate how you are using hard disk space you need to make sure that
you can see all files. Go to Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View,
Advanced Settings and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and
folders" is checked and "Hide protected operating system files " is
unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should
also make certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types"
is not checked. Next in Windows Explorer make sure View, Details is selected
and then select View, Choose Details and check before Name, Type, Total
Size, and Free Space.

You still will not see the System Volume Information folder.

FileSize -a useful tool for use with Windows Explorer when investigating how
disk space is being used.

The download link is not obvious. Click the here in the two sentences of the
web page accessed through the link above. "I can't count the number of times
someone has asked for this. So here is a module you can install that shows a
Folder Size column in Explorer."

To increase you free space on your C select Start, All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and
remove all but the latest System Restore points? Restore points can be quite
large.

You should use Disk CleanUp regularly to Empty your Recycle Bin and
Remove Temporary Internet Files. Whenever you remove redundant files you
should always run Disk Defragmenter by selecting Start, All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter.

Are you using any Norton Utilities?

If your hard drive is formatted as NTFS another potential gain arises with
your operating system on your C drive. In the Windows Directory of your
C partition you will have some Uninstall folders in your Windows folder
typically: $NtServicePackUninstall$ and $NtUninstallKB282010$ etc.

These files may be compressed or not compressed. If compressed the
text of the folder name appears in blue characters. If not compressed
you can compress them. Right click on each folder and select Properties,
General, Advanced and check the box before Compress contents to
save Disk Space. On the General Tab you can see the amount gained
by deducting the size on disk from the size. Folder compression is
only an option on a NTFS formatted drive / partition.

Another default setting on a large drive which could be wasteful is that for
temporary internet files especially if you do not store offline copies on
disk. The default allocation is 3% of drive. Depending on your attitude to
offline copies you could reduce this to 1% or 2%. In Internet Explorer
select Tools, Internet Options, General, Temporary Internet Files, Settings
to make the change. At the same time look at the number of days history
is held.

The default allocation for the Recycle Bin is 10 % of drive. On your drive
5% should be sufficient. In Windows Explorer place the cursor on your
Recycle Bin, right click and select Properties, Global and move the slider
from 10% to 5%.

Hye! That stuff is cool! I always wanted to see the size of folders
since I left Mac OS Classic (that has this function implemented in the
system) for Win XP

If I am correctly interpreting your message your hard drive
is 123 gb with only 500 mb free space. The system will not
run properly with less than 1% free space. You need at least
15% and preferably 20% free space.

It is likely that an allocation of 12% has been made to System Restore on
your C partition which is over generous. I would reduce it to 700 mb. Right
click your My Computer icon on the Desktop and select System Restore.
Place the cursor on your C drive select Settings but this time find the
slider and drag it to the left until it reads 700 mb and exit. When you get
to the Settings screen click on Apply and OK and exit.

You must create the free space first either by deleting or backing up data
files.

Igh thx for the advice i didnt know about that, it was actually at 12%.
I moved it to 1.5 GB (it was that or 200 MB)

You must create the free space first either by deleting or backing up data
files.

I'm gonna create space by replacing it with a 300 GB hard drive.
Anyways, the big question isn't how i can save memory, but can having
such a full hard drive can create BSoD's? I also tried removing both my
motherboard and graphic card drivers and installing the latest
releases, and so far i haven't had any more BSoD, but that's yet to
early to conclude anything. Thanks for help anyways
