SYMPTOMS
You use the Driver Verifier utility (Verifier.exe) to monitor SCSI adapter drivers in Microsoft Windows Server 2003. You then restart the computer. In this scenario, you may receive a Stop error message that resembles one of the following:

STOP 0x00000050

STOP 0x000000F4



CAUSE
The problem occurs because physical memory references can become out of sync when Verifier.exe performs the DMA verification on the SCSI adapter.

Technical support for x64-based versions of Microsoft Windows
If your hardware came with a Microsoft Windows x64 edition already installed, your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for the Windows x64 edition. In this case, your hardware manufacturer provides support because a Windows x64 edition was included with your hardware. Your hardware manufacturer might have customized the Windows x64 edition installation by using unique components. Unique components might include specific device drivers or might include optional settings to maximize the performance of the hardware. Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you need technical help with a Windows x64 edition. However, you might have to contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that your manufacturer installed on the hardware. If you purchased a Windows x64 edition such as a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 edition separately, contact Microsoft for technical support.
