Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a computer that is running Windows 8.1 or Windows Server 2012 R2.
-
The server has more than 512 gigabytes (GB) of installed memory.
-
You run an application for which a memory region greater than 512 gigabytes (GB) is stressed.
In this scenario, the server encounters a Stop error 0x1A in the nt!MiUpdateWsle function.
Note This problem is observed when the system performs data intensive operations by using Microsoft SQL Server or when you use a memory stress test tool.
Cause
This problem occurs because of an issue in virtual memory management in the operating system kernel.
