We're running a SQL Server 2008 database and are getting the following output(error?) in our logs:

06/23/2015 21:56:41,Server,Unknown,Process 214:0:42 (0x73b0) Worker 0x0000000BB2CC61A0 appears to be non-yielding on Scheduler 39. Thread creation time: 13079558329722. Approx Thread CPU Used: kernel 0 ms<c/> user 0 ms. Process Utilization 8%. System Idle 91%. Interval: 70169 ms.

I can't find much about this on google. There a lot of similar errors, which talk about hanging sql servers and that this might be a user trying to execute a dump that has no permission? I can't find anything about this exact error though.

Could anybody point me in the right direction or know immediately what is causing this?

Note: We've been getting the following error as well, which might have something do with it, but I'm not sure:

06/23/2015 22:22:50,spid23s,Unknown,SQL Server failed to prepare DTC transaction. Failure code: 8522.
06/23/2015 22:22:50,spid23s,Unknown,Error: 8565<c/> Severity: 16<c/> State: 1.
06/23/2015 22:22:50,spid23s,Unknown,Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) has stopped this transaction.
06/23/2015 22:22:50,spid23s,Unknown,Error: 8522<c/> Severity: 16<c/> State: 1.

Appreciate your help.

  • Error 80004005 is a generic error message. Can you please post the exact build number of your SQL Server. If you can upload the minidump files that would also help

  • You wont find much information about how to analyse stack dump. Stack dump due to non Yeilding schedulers are mostly created due to bug in SQL Server. What is output of Select @@Version

  • Hi, thank you both. Version/build is: Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (SP3) - 10.0.5500.0 (X64) Sep 21 2011 22:45:45 Copyright (c) 1988-2008 Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.1 <X64> (Build 7601: Service Pack 1) I'll try and find the minidump files.

    That is not the most up-to-date build. You could try installing SP4

  • You should download SP4 as suggested by @MartinSmith. You are facing a classic - worker thread starvation issue.. I bet that your MAXDOP is set to default (0) - which I recommend setting to a more sensible value.
