STOP Messages That Occur Only at Executive Initialization

One group of STOP messages comes up only during the relatively short Windows NT startup period, which is Phase 4 of the Windows NT boot sequence. Executive initialization is one step during Phase 4. That step can be further broken down into two phases: Phase 0 and Phase 1. During Phase 0 initialization, interrupts are disabled and only a few Executive components, such as the hardware abstraction layer (HAL), are initialized. During Phase 1 initialization, the system is fully operational, and the Windows NT subcomponents do a full initialization.

If you get one of the following Phase 0 initialization STOP messages, run the hardware diagnostics. If no hardware problems are found, reinstall Windows NT and try to initialize it again. If you get the same message again, contact a trained technician.

If you get one of the following Phase 1 initialization STOP messages, reinstall Windows NT and try to initialize it again. If you still get the same message, contact a trained technician.
