A device driver likley has a bug causing an endless loop that can't exit, or there is a hardware problem that will not become idle.
This is the same issue as Stop code 0x000000EA.
Some older versions of Windows may show the description as "THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER". 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.

Check if you are using the latest video device driver and that the driver is correctly matched to the video adapter model.
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.

Confirm the hardware is working correctly using a hardware diagnostic program. If you suspect a specific hardware item, such as memory stick or video card, try replacing it with known good hardware.
Don't overlook the possibility that hardware was not installed correctly, especially anything you installed just prior to the problems starting. Make sure all cards and memory are securely seated in their slots. Verify disk drive cables are properly connected and are not loose.
Several software products that offer an extensive range of hardware diagnostics includes Fix-It Utilities Professional and SystemSuite Professional. Other diagnostic products include Eurosoft's PC Check and Iolo's System Mechanic. Defective video cards often cause this error and a replacement should be tried. |

Install the latest Windows software updates. Don't forget to check for non-critical updates too!
To manually get updates, open Internet Explorer (you can't use a non-Microsoft browser for updates).
For IE 8 and later: Click on Safety, then Windows Update. Follow the instructions.
For IE 7 and older: Click on Tools, then Windows Update. Follow the instructions.

Check if you are using the latest hardware drivers, especially the chipset and video drivers. Older drivers are a common contributor to BSoD issues.

 A thread in a device driver is endlessly spinning.
After the Stop code will be 4 hex values: {Parameter 1, Parameter 2, Parameter 3, Parameter 4}.
Parameter 1 specifies a pointer to the stuck thread object.
Parameter 2 specifies a pointer to the DEFERRED_WATCHDOG object.
Parameter 3 specifies a pointer to the offending driver name.
Parameter 4 is normally set to 1. If the kernel debugger is running, then it's the number of times this code has been hit.

While BSoD fatal stop errors are identified by Microsoft Windows, they are often caused by
non-Microsoft applications, drivers and hardware issues. |
