How to resolve Blue Screen Of Death 0xEA

0xED & 0x7B

0xEA

STOP 0x000000EA (THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER)

This Blue Screen error indicates that a device driver-almost always a video card driver-is stuck waiting for something (usually a hardware operation) to happen. Most of you have probably seen nv4_disp.sys associated with this Blue Screen.

Things to check:

1   Ensure the video drivers are updated to the latest Dell version.

2   The system BIOS is fully up-to-date.

3   If both the video driver and the system BIOS are fully up-to-date, check with the manufacturer for recent driver updates.

4   As a last resort, try exchanging the video card.

Reinstalling Windows is not likely to prevent this error from reoccurring.
