Symptoms

On a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, the operating system may crash intermittently. Additionally, you receive a Stop error message that resembles the following:

Stop 0x0000007E (parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

Notes

  • The parameters in this Stop error message vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.

  • Not all "0x0000007E" Stop error messages are caused by this issue.

  • This issue usually occurs on a file server, and does not occur when Server Message Block (SMB) Version 2 is disabled.

Cause

This issue occurs because of a race condition that is triggered when a NULL lease handle is accessed after the lease spinlock is released.
