The driver is mismanaging system PTEs.
STOP: 0x000000DA
Description
A device driver has a bug.
Some older versions of Windows may show the description as "SYSTEM_PTE_MISUSE".
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.
The driver is mismanaging system PTEs.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any Windows updates you might need.
If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical Information:

Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further
assistance.
Text may appear differently depending on where the error occurs.
Additional technical information (hex values) specific to a machine are not shown.
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.

Get the Latest Drivers
6
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.
For removal of an application (Windows 8+)
Press the Windows Key and X together, then Control Panel, then Programs and Features.
Select the software to uninstall and select Uninstall.
For removal of an application (Windows 7 & Vista):

In System Properties, select the Hardware tab, then click on Device Manager button.
Find the hardware/driver of interest (you may need to expand a choice at the "plus" graphic) and double click the choice.
Select the Driver tab. Here you can perform a number of actions such as update the driver, roll Back the driver to an older version, disable or uninstall the driver.
Click OK to exit, then close the Device Manager and other previously opened dialogs.
A page table entry (PTE) routine has been used in an improper way.
After the Stop code will be 4 hex values: {Parameter 1, Parameter 2, Parameter 3, Parameter 4}.
Parameter 1 specifies the cause of the issue. The Windows column with a "-" means that version and older ones, where a "+" indicates that version and all newer ones. A blank indicates all versions.
