Bug Check 0xCA: PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR
The PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR bug check has a value of 0x000000CA. This indicates that the Plug and Play Manager encountered a severe error, probably as a result of a problematic Plug and Play driver.
Important Info If You Have Received a STOP Code
If you received a blue screen error, or stop code, the computer has shut down abruptly to protect itself from data loss. A hardware device, its driver, or related software might have caused this error. If your copy of Windows came with your computer, call the manufacturer of your computer. If you purchased Windows separately from your computer, Microsoft provides support. To find contact info for Microsoft or your computer manufacturer, Contact Support.
If you have experience with computers and want to try to recover from this error, follow the steps provided in the Microsoft article Resolving STOP (Blue Screen) Errors in Windows.
These actions might prevent an error like this from happening again:
- Download and install updates and device drivers for your computer from Windows Update.
- Scan your computer for computer viruses.
- Check your hard disk for errors.
PNP_DETECTED_FATAL_ERROR Parameters
The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen. Parameter 1 identifies the type of violation.
| Parameter 1 | Parameter 2 | Parameter 3 | Parameter 4 | Cause of Error |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
0x1 |
Address of newly-reported PDO |
Address of older PDO which has been duplicated |
Reserved |
Duplicate PDO: A specific instance of a driver has enumerated multiple PDOs with identical device ID and unique IDs. |
|
0x2 |
Address of purported PDO |
Address of driver object |
Reserved |
Invalid PDO: An API which requires a PDO has been called with random memory, or with an FDO, or with a PDO which hasn't been initialized. (An uninitialized PDO is one that has not been returned to Plug and Play by QueryDeviceRelation or QueryBusRelations.) |
|
0x3 |
Address of PDO whose IDs were queried |
Address of ID buffer |
1: DeviceID 2: UniqueID 3: HardwareIDs 4: CompatibleIDs |
Invalid ID: An enumerator has returned an ID which contains illegal characters or isn't properly terminated. (IDs must contain only characters in the ranges 0x20 - 0x2B and 0x2D - 0x7F.) |
|
0x4 |
Address of PDO with DOE_DELETE_PENDING set |
Reserved |
Reserved |
Invalid enumeration of deleted PDO: An enumerator has returned a PDO which it had previously deleted using IoDeleteDevice. |
|
0x5 |
Address of PDO |
Reserved |
Reserved |
PDO freed while linked in devnode tree: The object manager reference count on a PDO dropped to zero while the devnode was still linked in the tree. (This usually indicates that the driver is not adding a reference when returning the PDO in a query IRP.) |
|
0x8 |
Address of PDO whose stack returned the invalid bus relation |
Total number of PDOs returned as bus relations |
The index (zero-based) at which the first NULL PDO was found |
NULL pointer returned as a bus relation: One or more of the devices present on the bus is a NULL PDO. |
|
0x9 |
Connection type that was passed |
Reserved |
Reserved |
Invalid connection type passed to IoDisconnectInterruptEx: A driver has passed an invalid connection type to IoDisconnectInterruptEx. The connection type passed to this routine must match the one returned by a corresponding successful call to IoConnectInterruptEx. |
|
0xA |
Driver object |
IRQL after returning from driver callback |
Combined APC disable count after returning from driver callback |
Incorrect notify callback behavior: A driver failed to preserve IRQL or combined APC disable count across a Plug 'n' Play notification. |
|
0xB |
Related PDO |
Removal relations |
Reserved |
Deleted PDO reported as relation: One of the removal relations for the device being removed has already been deleted. |
