SYMPTOMS
You may receive the following error message on a blue screen:

STOP 0x00000041 MUST_SUCCEED_POOL_EMPTY (0x1000,0x440,0x2E,0x1)

Parameters
NOTE: Parameter values may vary.

Parameter 1: The size of the request that could not be satisfied (0x1000)

Parameter 2: The number of pages of used non-paged pool (0x440)

Parameter 3: The number of > PAGE_SIZE requests from non-paged pool (0x2E)

Parameter 4: The number of pages available (0x1)



CAUSE
This issue can occur when a driver requests pool memory in which the request must be satisfied. If the system is out of resources and there is not enough pool memory to be allocated, the error message that is listed in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section of this article is generated. This issue is often caused by a driver that is leaking memory.



RESOLUTION
To troubleshoot this issue, disable all third-party filter drivers or programs. Enable one driver at a time, while monitoring non-paged pool usage by using Performance Monitor. Also, make sure that your computer is running the latest drivers and program patches, including service packs.
