0x00000051 how to apply fix when at blue screen?

Hi,

Can you provide any other information besides the 0x00000051?

This is a KB search on that Stop Code = 0x00000051
http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?mode=a&query=0x00000051&spid=14019&catalog=LCID%3D1033&res=10

If there is an applicable Hotfix the KB article will have information and support options.

Normally you would copy the Hotfix to the drive and either Right Click on and RUN AS ADMIN, double
click on it, or there may be other options on the Right Click depending on the extension of the Hotfix.

BCCode: 51     0x00000051 

This Bug_Check is very often a hardware issue however it can be caused by antivirus/
antispyware/security and other causes. You might be able to correct it with a System
Restore in Safe Mode (repeatedly tap F8 as you boot the computer) - see the System
Restore below. If the cause is hardware then of course that has to be corrected.

Bug Check 0x51: REGISTRY_ERROR

The REGISTRY_ERROR bug check has a value of 0x00000051. This indicates that a severe registry error has occurred.

Important Information If You Have Received a STOP Code

If you have 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 information 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.

The following actions might prevent an error like this from happening again:

1. Download and install updates and device drivers for your computer from Windows Update.
2. Scan your computer for computer viruses.
3. Check your hard disk for errors.

REGISTRY_ERROR Parameters

The following parameters are displayed on the blue screen.

Parameter	Description
1	Reserved
2	Reserved
3	The pointer to the hive (if available)
4	If the hive is corrupt, the return code of HvCheckHive (if available)

Cause

Something has gone wrong with the registry. If a kernel debugger is available, get a stack trace.

This error may indicate that the registry encountered an I/O error while trying to read one of its files. This can be caused by hardware problems or file system corruption.

It may also occur due to a failure in a refresh operation, which is used only in by the security system, and then only when resource limits are encountered.

==================================================================

Look in the Event Viewer to see if anything is reported about those.
http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/vista/vista_event_viewer.htm

MyEventViewer - Free - a simple alternative to the standard event viewer of Windows.
TIP - Options - Advanced Filter allows you to see a time frame instead of the whole file.

Also do this so you can see the likely bluescreens.

Windows Vista automatically restarts if your PC encounters an error that causes it to crash.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some methods to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the Blue Screen
info that would help. Such as the BCC and the other 4 entries on the lower left. And any other
error information such as STOP codes and info such as IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

As examples :

BCCode: 116
BCP1: 87BC9510
BCP2: 8C013D80
BCP3: 00000000
BCP4: 00000002

or in this format :

Stop: 0x00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo oxoooooooo)
tcpip.sys - Address 0x00000000 base at 0x000000000 DateStamp 0x000000000


This is an excellent tool for posting Blue Screen Error Information

BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen
of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one
table - Free
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html


Many BlueScreens are caused by old or corrupted drivers, especially video drivers however
there are other causes.

You can do these in Safe Mode if needed or from Command Prompt from Vista DVD or
Recovery Options if your system has that installed by the maker.

The log might give you the answer if there was a corrupted driver. (Does not tell all the possible

Also run CheckDisk so we can rule out corruption as much as possible.
