STOP 0xA or 0x1E Screens Caused By Damaged Paging File.
ID: Q242099
|
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0
SYMPTOMS
When you are using a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based computer, you may receive a STOP 0x0000000A or 0x0000001E error message.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the Pagefile.sys file is damaged.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, first note the size of your paging files, set the paging file size to zero, run Chkdsk, and then restore the original values:
- In Control Panel, double-click System.
- Click the Performance tab, and then click Change.
- For each drive that contains a paging file, click the drive, note the size of the file, and then type a zero in the Initial Size and Maximum Size boxes.
- Click Set, and then click Close.
- In the System Settings Change box, click No.
For each drive that contains a paging file, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER
chkdsk <drive>: /f /r
where <drive> is the letter of the drive that contains a paging file.
NOTE: If you have more than one paging file, run Chkdsk on non-system partitions first because you must restart the computer after you run Chkdsk on the system partition. - After all relevant drives are checked, restart the computer.
- Reset the size of each paging file to its original values.
- Restart the computer again.
