ID: Q148978

When a bugcheck 0000001e error occurs with an exception code of 80000004, it may indicate that there is faulty hardware on the computer. This problem seldom occurs.

80000004 is an exception code that may occur when a POPFD is executed.
80000004 represents the status of STATUS_SINGLE_STEP, which is debugging one instruction at a time. POPFD pops the top of the stack into the EFLAGS register. When the 0x00000100 bit is set in the EFLAGS register, the next instruction will be trapped and the exception code will be 80000004.

A faulty secondary cache may be the cause of this problem.
