View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You attach an LCD monitor to a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • You install the related monitor driver on the computer.
  • You perform a WDF fault injection logo test for the monitor.
In this scenario, the computer crashes during the WDF Fault Injection Logo Test. Additionally, you receive a Stop error message that resembles the following:
Stop 0x000000C4 (Parameter1, Parameter2, Parameter3, Parameter4)

Notes
  • This Stop error describes a DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION issue.
  • The parameters in this Stop error message vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.
  • Not all "Stop 0x000000C4" errors are caused by this issue.
  • This issue does not occur when you use Generic PnP monitors.

Cause

This issue occurs because the monitor driver is unloaded and the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) registration flags leaks when the WdfDriverCreate() method fails in the DriverEntry routine.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes
Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.
  • The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM,SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
    VersionProductMilestoneService branch
    6.1.760
    1.18xxx    		Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2SP1GDR
    6.1.760
    1.22xxx    		Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2SP1LDR
  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2" section.
