User profile corruption in the registry [REGISTRY_ERROR (51)]

by Shameer Mohammed

REGISTRY_ERROR (51)
Something has gone badly wrong with the registry. If a kernel debugger is available, get a stack trace. It can also indicate that the registry got an I/O error while trying to read one of its files, so it can be caused by hardware problems or filesystem corruption. It may occur due to a failure in a refresh operation, which is used only in by the security system, and then only when resource limits are encountered.
Arguments:
Arg1: 00000003, (reserved)
Arg2: 00000004, (reserved)
Arg3: e82372f8, depends on where Windows bugchecked, may be pointer to hive
Arg4: 00000000, depends on where Windows bugchecked, may be return code of HvCheckHive if the hive is corrupt.
