Parameter Description
1 0

Cause

Some driver failed to release pages that it locked.

Resolving the Problem

The driver that caused the error can be detected by editing the registry. In the \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management registry key, create or edit the TrackLockedPages value, and set it equal to DWORD 1. Then reboot. The system will then save stack traces. If the driver commits the same error, bug check 0xCB (DRIVER_LEFT_LOCKED_PAGES_IN_PROCESS) will be issued, and the name of the driver causing this error will be displayed.
