STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem occurs after a period of 60 seconds or more. After this time, the system server process ID (SPID) that performs the complex conditions that are mentioned in the "Symptoms" section does not yield control of the User Mode Scheduler (UMS). This behavior may cause query delays and time-outs. Additionally, you cannot log on during this time.

There are many possible causes of error 17883. This hotfix addresses only the conditions that are mentioned in the "Symptoms" section. However, this hotfix is cumulative and contains prior fixes. Therefore, this hotfix may help because this hotfix includes other fixes for error conditions that are unrelated to these symptoms.

To distinguish this problem from the other possible causes of error 17883, review the stack information about the hung thread. This stack information is in the minidump file that is automatically created in the SQL Server Log folder when error 17883 occurs. For help reviewing the minidump file and determining whether this problem is the likely cause of error 17883, contact Microsoft Product Support Services.

Other possible causes of error 17883 include the following:
  • Other SQL Server bugs
  • Orphaned latch structures that are left over after access violations or after assertion exceptions
  • Many external factors, such as disk slowness, antivirus drivers, and lack of Windows resources
For more information about these other possible causes, read the white paper "How to diagnose and correct errors 17883, 17884, 17887, and 17888." To obtain this white paper, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/f/8/4f8f2dc9-a9a7-4b68-98cb-163482c95e0b/DiagandCorrectErrs.doc

Stack information

When the SQL Server scheduler stops responding, SQL Server creates a minidump file in the Log folder. If you open the minidump file in a debugger and switch to the thread ID that is mentioned in the error message, you may notice the following stack information:
