You receive a "STOP 0x000000D1" error message on a blue screen in Windows Server 2003

You experience the following symptoms on your Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer:

• You receive a Stop error message on a blue screen. The error message is similar to the following:
  STOP 0x000000D1, (0xf2bc8c92, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0xf2bc8c92) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
• The computer unexpectedly restarts.

These symptoms occur when the computer is under a heavy load. For example, you may experience these symptoms when you copy large files from a remote share when the server is under a heavy load.

This problem occurs when a browser announcement frame is incorrectly processed by the server message block (SMB) redirector. The SMB redirector tries to run code that is paged out and that cannot be paged in at the current interrupt request (IRQ) level.
