System assertion check has failed

  • Hi All

    Getting this error running an INSERT statement with (TABLOCK). Resulting in a Stack dump. The table is NOT compressed/replicated, however, it is partitioned. Works if you remove TABLOCK hint.

    CHECKDB does not reveal any errors

    Using SQL Server 2008 R2 build 10.50.1600.1 (no Service Packs).

    Error log excerpts :

    A system assertion check has failed. Check the SQL Server error log for details. Typically, an assertion failure is caused by a software bug or data corruption. To check for database corruption, consider running DBCC CHECKDB. If you agreed to send dumps to Microsoft during setup, a mini dump will be sent to Microsoft. An update might be available from Microsoft in the latest Service Pack or in a QFE from Technical Support.

    SQL Server Assertion: File: <pageref.cpp>, line=922 Failed Assertion = 'IS_OFF (BUF_MINLOGGED, m_buf->bstat) || pageModifyType != PageModifyType_Contents || GetPagePtr ()->IsTextPage ()'. This error may be timing-related. If the error persists after rerunning the statement, use DBCC CHECKDB to check the database for structural integrity, or restart the server to ensure in-memory data structures are not corrupted.

    Anybody got any ideas ?

    Cheers
