Causes of this error code are:

  • There is insufficient disk space on the drive on which you installed Windows.
  • There is an outdated or incompatible third-party driver (or drivers) installed on your computer -- for example a faulty video driver.
  • There are system BIOS incompatibilities.

Some known methods of fixing this error are as follows:

  • Method 1: Free Up Disk Space

  • Method 2: Disable or Remove the Third-Party Driver

If the STOP 0x1E error message lists a driver by name, disable or remove that driver. If this resolves the issue, contact the hardware manufacturer for more information about how to obtain the latest version of the driver.

  • Method 3: Upgrade Your System BIOS
