SYMPTOMS

During the installation of Microsoft Windows Server 2003, you may receive a Stop error message that is similar to the following:

STOP: 0x0000007B (0, c0000034, 0, 0)
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

Note The parameter may vary.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the computer is using 4-gigabyte (GB) dual inline memory modules (DIMM). The problem occurs because some drivers do not support memory addressing above 4 GB. When memory descriptors are assigned to the free list, the lower memory addresses are assigned first. If a driver requests memory, and that driver does not support higher addresses, the request may cause the system to crash if the lower memory addresses are already assigned.
