STOP: 0x000000F9
Description
A device driver likely has a bug or is incompatible with this version of Windows.
Some older versions of Windows may show the description as "DRIVER_RETURNED_STATUS_REPARSE_FOR_VOLUME_OPEN".
This is a fatal Windows error, typically called a Stop message, Bug Check, or more commonly the Blue Screen of Death (BSoD). The system is in a forced reboot state. Any unsaved work is likely lost.
Sample Screen
A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
A driver returned STATUS_REPARSE to a Create request with no trailing names. STATUS_REPARSE should be returned only for Create requests with trailing names as that indicates the driver is supporting name spaces.

Check if you are using the latest hardware drivers, especially the chipset and video drivers. Older drivers are a common contributor to BSoD issues.
You can use a product like Driver Genius or Radar Sync to verify you have the latest drivers and help keep all your drivers up-to-date. If you're comfortable with driver installations, you can individually find and install current drivers.
If you can get the system up for more than a few minutes or can use safe mode, try removing the last installed software application or driver.

A driver returned STATUS_REPARSE to an IRP_MJ_CREATE request with no trailing names. STATUS_REPARSE should be returned only for IRP_MJ_CREATE requests with trailing names, as it indicates the driver is supporting name spaces.
After the Stop code will be 4 hex values: {Parameter 1, Parameter 2, Parameter 3, Parameter 4}.
Parameter 1 specifies the device object that was opened.
Parameter 2 specifies the device object to which the IRP_MJ_CREATE request was issued.
Parameter 3 specifies an address of the Unicode string containing the new name of the file (to be reparsed).
Parameter 4 specifies information returned by the driver for the IRP_MJ_CREATE request.
A STATUS_REPARSE is a returned value from a driver when a reparse is required to handle a symbolic link.
IRP_MJ_CREATE is an I/O Request Packet Major function code to tell the driver to open a file object or device object.
While BSoD fatal stop errors are identified by Microsoft Windows, they are often caused by
non-Microsoft applications, drivers and hardware issues.
