In the above example, the YZ represents the actual processor exception, this
can range from 00 to 0F. Each of these processor exceptions are explained
under extended information.
After the processor exception is the enhanced instruction pointer to the code
segment and the 32-bit address, which is where the error exception has
occurred.
Search for the error
Often the easiest and fastest method to locate the cause of a fatal exception
is to search for the error. However, for some users, it may be difficult to
know exactly what to search for because of the cryptic fatal exception
messages. Below are tips on how to search for these errors.
1. As mentioned above, the fatal exception has a two character code. For example, if the
"0E" is present, use this as part of your search.
2. Next, the error message should contain a pointer (e.g., "0028:c001e36"). Although
this may be found in a search, it is usually unique to your computer. If you're not
finding any search results, exclude this from your search.
3. Finally, many fatal exception error messages also contain a file that generated the
error, which is almost always a VXD file. If the fatal exception error contains a
reference to a .VXD file, definitely include this as part of your search. The VXD file
may also be listed as "VXD VWIN32", which is "vwin32.vxd".
If searching for the fatal exception error does not return results or help
resolve your issue, continue to the following sections.
Revert Windows back to an earlier copy
If this has just started occurring and you're running Windows XP or
later, restore Windows back to an earlier copy.
Update software or check for software patches
If you are experiencing invalid page faults in only one program, verify that
the software program is compatible with the operating system on the
computer. Also, check with the manufacturer or vendor of the software
program to see if there are any available patches or updates for the program
that may help to resolve your issue.
It is also important that you have all the latest Windows updates.
Hardware drivers
If fatal exceptions happen when using a hardware device (e.g., when you
print), the drivers related to that device are either conflicting with another
device, corrupt, or have other errors.
Video drivers are also notorious for causing fatal exception error messages.
Because your video card is being used all the time, it's difficult to know for
certain if it's the cause of the error. Therefore we always recommend having
the latest video drivers on your computer.
Visit the manufacturer's website and get the latest software and drivers from
them. See the computer drivers page for a listing of hardware companies.
Recently installed software or hardware
If you have recently installed new software or hardware, uninstall or reinstall
that software or hardware to verify it is not causing your issue. With a
hardware device, instead of installing the software or drivers that came with
the device, visit the manufacturer's website and get the latest software or
drivers from them. See the computer drivers page for a listing of hardware
companies.
Remove all TSRs
Disable any TSRs or programs running in the background, since fatal
exception errors can be caused by conflicts between two or more open and
running programs.
Delete all program temporary files
Delete all temporary files that may still be residing on the hard drive from
currently or previously running programs.
Overclocked computer
If you have overclocked any component in the computer, set the computer
to its factory settings to verify that the overclocked component is not
causing the issue.
Verify your computer has more than 200 MB available
If your computer is running low on hard drive space, your Windows swap
file will be unable to increase in size when needed, which can cause errors.
Determining available hard drive space.
14(Oeh)=Page Fault
Occurs when a paging protection rule is violated (when the retrieve fails,
data retrieved is invalid or the code that issued the fault broke the protection
rule for the processor).
16(10h)=Coprocessor error fault
Occurs when an unmasked floating-point exception has signaled a previous
instruction.
17(11h)=Alignment Check Fault
Only used on 80486 computers. Caused when code executing at ring
privilege 3 attempts to access a word operand that is not divisible by four, or
a long real or temp real whose address is not divisible by eight.
