Microsoft Windows and software use exceptions, which allow Windows or other software to communicate in layers and communicate errors or exceptions.If a program is given an exception that is invalid or unknown, you'll encounter a fatal exception.
In order to act on an error thrown from an individual task, you can use the OnError task extension. This will give you the opportunity to act on the error. If you want the error to propagate as normal, you can rethrow the exception.
To automatically swallow errors that occur in a task, you can use the ContinueOnError task extension. The ContinueOnError extension cannot be combined with OnError.
If you want to report an error without affecting its propagation or resulting stack trace, you can use the ReportError task extension. Any exceptions thrown in the scope of ReportError will be swallowed.
If something has gone wrong that you cannot recover from, you should throw an exception to indicate it. The Cake script runner will then log the error (using the Error method) and return exit code 1 to indicate that something went wrong.
DeferOnError allows a given task the ability to defer all exceptions until the end of the task execution. This way tasks can run all actions to completion before failing. This can have some value when you work with something like multiple unit test projects, or multiple publishes. You can see the output of the entire task, and not just where it failed.
Microsoft Windows and software use exceptions, which allow Windows or other software to communicate in layers and communicate errors or exceptions. If a program is given an exception that is invalid or unknown, you'll encounter a fatal exception. Fatal exceptions are also commonly referred to as a Fatal 0E, or improperly as a Fatal OE.
When a fatal exception is encountered, the error is in the following format.
In the above example, the YZ represents the actual processor exception, this can range from 00 to 0F. Each of these processor exceptions are explained under extended information.
After the processor exception is the enhanced instruction pointer to the code segment and the 32-bit address, which is where the error exception has occurred.
Search for the error
Often the easiest and fastest method to locate the cause of a fatal exception is to search for the error. However, for some users, it may be difficult to know exactly what to search for because of the cryptic fatal exception messages. Below are tips on how to search for these errors.
- As mentioned above, the fatal exception has a two character code. For example, if the '0E' is present, use this as part of your search.
- Next, the error message should contain a pointer (e.g., '0028:c001e36'). Although this may be found in a search, it is usually unique to your computer. If you're not finding any search results, exclude this from your search.
- Finally, many fatal exception error messages also contain a file that generated the error, which is often a VXD file. If the fatal exception error contains a reference to a .VXD file, include this as part of your search. The VXD file may also be listed as 'VXD VWIN32,' which is vwin32.vxd.
If searching for the fatal exception error does not return results or help resolve your issue, continue to the following sections.
Revert Windows back to an earlier copy
If this has recently started occurring, and you're running Windows XP or later, restore Windows to an earlier copy.
Update software or check for software patches
If you are experiencing invalid page faults in only one program, verify that the software program is compatible with the operating system on the computer. Also, check with the manufacturer or vendor of the software program to see if there are any available patches or updates.
It is also important that you have all the latest Windows updates.
Hardware drivers
If fatal exceptions happen when using a hardware device (e.g., when you print), the drivers related to that device are either conflicting with another device, corrupt, or have other errors.
Video drivers are also notorious for causing fatal exception error messages. Because the video card is always used, it's difficult to know for certain if it's the cause of the error. Therefore we always recommend having the latest video drivers on your computer.
Visit the manufacturer's website and get the latest software and drivers from them. See the computer drivers page for a listing of hardware companies.
Recently installed software or hardware
If you have recently installed new software or hardware, uninstall or reinstall that software or hardware to verify it is not causing your issue. With a hardware device, visit the manufacturer's website and get the latest software or drivers from them. See the computer drivers page for a listing of hardware companies.
Remove all TSRs
Disable any TSRs or programs running in the background since fatal exception errors can be caused by conflicts between two or more open and running programs.
Cake Mania Fatal Error 10
Delete all program temporary files
Delete all temporary files that may still be residing on the hard drive from currently or previously running programs.
Overclocked computer
If you have overclocked any component in the computer, set the computer to its factory settings to verify that the overclocked component is not causing the issue.
Verify your computer has more than 200 MB available
If your computer is running low on hard drive space, your Windows swap file cannot increase in size when needed, which causes errors.
Run ScanDisk and Defrag
Run ScanDisk and Defrag on the hard drive, as it could be possible your hard drive may have an issue causing the swap file or data files to become corrupt or invalid.
Heat related issue
Verify that all fans in your computer are properly working. If not all fans are working or you do not have enough fans and your computer is overheating, multiple issues, including fatal exceptions, can occur.
Disable External Cache in CMOS
If the option is available, enter your computer's CMOS setup and disable the external cache. If this resolves your issue, you are likely encountering a heat related issue.
CPU Core Voltage
If available, verify in your CMOS setup or by jumper that the CPU core voltage is set to the factory specification. Consult your motherboard documentation, which is at the website of your motherboard manufacturer.
Bad Memory, invalid bits or physically bad memory
Bad computer memory is also a common cause for fatal exception errors. If you have recently added memory to the computer, we recommend it first be removed to verify that you are not experiencing conflicts with it.
If no memory was recently added to the computer and you tried all the above recommendations, test your computer memory for errors.
Extended Information
Below is a listing of the more commonly experienced processor exceptions ranging from 00 to 0F.
00 = Divide Fault
Occurs if division by zero is attempted or if the result of the operation does not fit in the destination operand.
02 = NMI interrupt
Interrupt 2 is reserved for the hardware non-maskable interrupt condition. No exceptions trap through interrupt 2.
04 = Overflow trap
Cake Mania Fatal Error Codes
Occurs after an INTRO instruction has executed and the OF bit is set to 1.
05 = Bounds Check fault
The array Index is out of range
06 = Invalid Opcode fault
Caused by one of the below conditions.
- Processor attempting to decode a bit pattern that does not correspond to any legal computer instruction.
- Processor attempts to execute an instruction that contains invalid operands.
- Processor attempts to execute a protected-mode instruction while running in virtual 8086 mode.
- Processor attempts to execute a LOCK prefix with an instruction that cannot be locked.
07 = Copressor not available fault
This error can occur if no math coprocessor is present. This error can also occur when the math coprocessor is used and a task switch is executed.
Fatal Error Sans
08 = Double Fault
This error occurs when processing an exception triggers a second exception.
09(OD) = Copressor Segment Overrun
Floating point operand is outside the segment.
10(0Ah/0A) = Invalid Task State Segment Fault
Multiple possible causes, as Task State Segment contains multiple descriptors.
11(0Bh) = Not Present Fault
The not present interrupt allows the operating system to implement virtual memory through the segmentation mechanism. 0B fault occurs when this segment is not available.
12(0Ch) = Stack Fault
Occurs when instruction refers to memory beyond the limit of the stack segment.
13(Odh) = General Protection Fault
Caused by any condition that is not covered by any of the other processor exceptions. The exception indicates that this program was corrupted in memory, resulting in the immediate termination of the program.
14(Oeh) = Page Fault
Occurs when a paging protection rule is violated. In other words, when the retrieve fails, data retrieved is invalid or the code that issued the fault broke the protection rule for the processor.
16(10h) = Coprocessor error fault
Occurs when an unmasked floating-point exception has signaled a previous instruction.
17(11h) = Alignment Check Fault
Only used on 80486 computers. Caused when code executing at ring privilege 3 attempts to access a word operand that is not divisible by four, or a long real or temp real whose address is not divisible by eight.
