WinXP Home Sp-1
Sometimes, not always, when opening My Computer or Windows Explorer, it crashes. The App error log reports: explorer.exe version 6.0.2800.1221 has errored in faulting module ntdll.dll version 5.1.2600.1106 Fault address 0x00002109. It seems this ntdll.dll is the root.
Another error is logged: Fault bucket 50940626
1. As anyone experienced this?
2. Recently renamed the computer but, the original name still appears in Win Explorer as a folder. Only one user on this machine. Could this be it?
3. Do I ned to change the old name everywhere in the registry?
4. Should I just do an XP repair?
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/directdownload.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)

Hello, I'm David, and I am having problems with packet loss. I usually use internet to watch videos, play some games and what not, but recently I started experiencing lags. I googled it up, and then tried to see if my pc had packet loss (pinged google.com -t). I had a 6% packet loss. Then I tried it on my other pc (it is connected to the same router and is half a meter away from other one). It had 0% packed loss. Then I remembered that recently I downloaded some programs and stuff on the pc with the packet loss. Could it be the cause of my packet loss? Thank you to all who at least read my delema.
What Router brand and model are you using?
Are you connected wired or wireless?
Are you connected 100mbps or 1.0 Gbps.
Have you upgraded the firmware on the router lately?
Also have you upgraded the drivers on the PCs network cards?
Have you ever power cycled the power on the router or modem?
Any switches connected to the router? If so, try a different port.
Have you tried a different port on the router?
Packet loss in a router means the router started degrading on the ports side.
Device could be overheating or just have duff ports (bad)
In your case you can also.
1. Backup config settings in the Router
2. Do a Factory Reset will wipe all prior settings out
3. Restore Backup config settings in the Router
If all was tried you should consider replacing the router only as option though.
There is a laptop I want to purchase which is described to have an "intermittent graphics fault" where the screen turns green.
I have read that this is definitely a hardware error, some pointing out the video cable as being loose.
I was wondering if you guys are familiar with this problem and what is required to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
Honestly, I would avoid any laptop that has that issue because you don't know what is causing it and if you have to replace the screen the cost is often more than what you would pay for a new system.
Can you link us to this laptop or give us more details about this unit?
Hey there everyone! I'm pretty new to this forum but i really need your help.
Earlier today i experience 2 different BSOD erros at different times, and for no apparent reason.
I'm not sure what the reason is for either of them since i just reformatted earlier today. I have the dump file for each of the BSODs. It is attached.
Could anyone possibly tell me what the problem could be? Thanks in advance
nothing attached.

I've had similar problem once with my existing Intel DP35DP board but with my older CPU i.e. C2D E6600 (Conroe), however after spending hours after hours it turned out that the culprit was CPU; and i only needed to clean it (carbon) and when i put it back in and powered the system ... everything worked perfectly well. It doesn't mean its the same for you; perhaps something is shorting out; I don't think your video card should kill boards as you suspect. It could be something minor like in my case.
By the way, funny thing was I had already ordered a new motherboard (suspecting this one is dead) when i thought of checking on the CPU
i am getting a pxe-e61:media test failure check cable fault on my hp nx9005 laptop.
i have removed the hdd from the laptop and installed it in my pc as slave using a 2.5 - 3.5 adaptor with psu. it registers in the bios but not in windows. if i then disconnect the main pc hard drive and set the laptop hdd as master and try and install windows xp using the xp cd it states no hdd present
from this i would take it as the hard drive is damaged/dead
any advice welcome, thanks
So you have placed the laptop Hard Drive in place of your Desktop CD/DVD Drive? (as is what I usually do)
And your Windows version cannot see it in My Computer?
With the 2,5" Drive in place of the removed CD/DVD Drive (on its own IDE Cable)
And with the current Desktop system drive still connected (also on its own IDE Cable)
Go to start > Run > diskmgmt.msc > ok
Can you now see your drive?
If so, confirm the Volume type is Healthy and running NTFS (just like your main drive?)
Hi I have recently built my own PC but when im using it It constantly freezes for about - seconds then it works again but it Fault) for (Hardware short Computer time a Freezing keeps doing it and the Hard Drive light stays on during the Computer Freezing for a short time (Hardware Fault) freeze and when it starts flashing the computer starts Computer Freezing for a short time (Hardware Fault) working again Some people say I go too fast but I only run one program at a time Also it is a gaming computer so it should be able to cope can anyone tell me what is causing this to freeze Also It takes ages for something to install on the computer My system specs are P K Premium Motherbaord BFG GTX Graphics Card GB Reaper GB DDR RAM TB Spinpoint F Hard Drive W Coolermaster Power Supply Pioneer Blu-Ray Reader Drive Q GHz Porcessor Vista Ultimate -bit One of these is slowing my computer down badly but I dont know which one I have a feeling it could be the Hard Drive because of the Slow Installations and freezes and also the light being on when it does but im not sure nbsp
Identical problem here.. hard drive light goes solid and pc just stops for 1 min, still able to move the mouse cursor but cannot slect anything or alt-tab etc. Any alt tab or double clicking is cached up and then all fired off at once when the minute freeze is up.
I'm pretty certain now it's down to my Asus P5K-E motherboard (which is what I assume the original poster has)
I'm looking towards M/Board now as I have swapped drives and changed CPU from Q6600 to Q8200 also switched from Vista 32bit to Win7 64bit and still get the issue.
I alleviated it for a while by switching my SATA 300 drive down to 150 mode by setting the jumpers.
Have flashed the P5K to the latest bios with no joy.
Full specs are..
Q8200 Quad
Asus P5K-E Wifi Premium
500GB Samsung SATA300
4GB Ram
lightscribe 20x DVDRW
Sony Bluray Drive (installed after problem had already appeared)
2 x ATI HD3870's in crossfire config.
Windows 7 64bit / WinXP dual boot.
This first started out as a problem installing some of the larger programs such has Adobe CS and Microsoft Office I had a seperate thread on that located here Memory at Fault? Sticks or Mobo failed, Memtest http www techspot com vb topic html After a lot of troubleshooting I believe that my problem exists in the RAM I ran the memtest for both sticks of ram individually and they both failed The first stick will cause my computer to reboot in the middle of the test The other stick I will get a message that says unexpected interrupt Memtest failed, Mobo or Memory Sticks at Fault? halting CPU So here s my question Is the memory sticks at fault or my mobo I want to go ahead and ask for advice so I know if I should buy new RAM or get my mobo replaced These are my specs for my computer AMD Athlon Dual-Core Processor GHz GIgabyte GA-MA -UD Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition V SP Corsair Dual Channel TWINX MB PC DDR MHz Memory x MB Can someone confirm that I m using the right memory It s not listed on the Gigabyte s website as one of their supported ones but it also says that many are not listed Any help on this would be great I ve tried testing the memory on other slots with same results and tried cleaning it with an eraser Thanks nbsp
Your board specs say PC2 9600 or DDR2 1200 memory, like this:

Hi, I just pressed the power button on my laptop and the power light came on as well as the battery light and then went off after a second, so I pressed the power button again and it did the same no matter how many times I did it or no matter how long I did it, so I took the battery out of the laptop and blew the pins, left it out for 3 mins and put it back in, and then it worked fine, im using it now, but is there anything that may be causing this.
it is the first time it has happened but I thought if it is gonna be a problem I might as well as get ahead of it.
So does anyone know what is causing this or will it just be dust on the battery
so tell us exact laptop model

I'm trying to fix a Toshiba M30 for a friend.. he he
I have looked around a bit and cant really find anything similar to this problem. It has a kinda mixed up mish mash on the display but you can just about see some stuff to navigate around a little
I have reseated the display plugs at both ends with no joy. I dont have another monitor to try but as soon as I have access to one, I will. If anyone has a sec to see what you think..
cheers, surfersaiyan.
OS that you can see is backtrack.
The Toshiba has a history of trouble with the inverter. Available on eBay for about $20,,, 18 screws later, it will probably work just fine... Retest in SAFE MODE to see if you get any faint images in low resolution on the screen... or connect another monitor to the port in back. If no monitor there, it may be the system board.
Good morning So I am receiving the above error debuglog txt is attached But I d like to give some background - I searched the forums and saw many similar problems but just not quite the same I have a Toshiba Fault Page in Blue Area Screen Nonpaged - M -S about - years old running Windows XP S Over the years I ve upgraded Blue Screen - Page Fault in Nonpaged Area the memory several times first from factory Blue Screen - Page Fault in Nonpaged Area mb to mb - just had to add second stick for this then recently from to - the max this laptop can handle required replacing both sticks Prior to purchasing the memory I searched several sites to ensure compatibility I also had a tech at the store verify I ve learned the hard way evil So - supposedly this memory works with my system It was recognized upon install and no problem - surfed the Net all day played my online MMORPG etc no crashes - until I put my laptop into hibernate Trying to come out it said it didn t have enough memory to complete API uhh huh So the next night I just put it to sleep not hibernate - this time I got the error above I ve tested the RAM both pieces together and individually in different slots - multiple times - they are fine apparently I ve even put them into my husband s laptop and fooled around - no problems And as I said this only happens when coming out of Sleep or Hibernate It is not triggered by playing graphic-intensive games I can run the internet games and music apps all at one time without setting off the fan I ve played and played to try to get to the root of this evil My next step thoughts are - change the virtual memory allocation it is way under the recommended and dare I say it resort to one of those registry cleaning apps Could that really be the problem Please help nbsp
you could have registry issues. more than likely it is power management issues.
but try CCleaner. works great anyway

Try reformatting your hard drive and installing a fresh copy of XP on it
Hi, I decided to reformate my HD from 0 Because of bluescreen errors, I have a P4VM800 Board with 512MB DDR 333 ram and a P4 1.7 CPU, the thing is that when I try to install XP SP 2 with a new reformatted HD the installer is giving me a bluescreen.
The reasin to reinstall were to get rid of the bluescreen.
I was getting random restars and windowws has recovered from a serious error messages... but after a day I could not make the computer start without a blue screen.
I have changed the memory module for a new one and have removed the wireless card and modem so the only thing conected to the board are the CPU and HD and CDRom. CPU Fan is clean and working perfect.
Any idea?
Thank you in advance.
it seems I am a bit lost about where exactly is the cache memory in the Bios Config...

usually that error is a conflict between windows and the display drivers.

It looks to me that you have done a very thorough job of fault diagnosis and i agree with your conclusion that the fault could well be with the CPU.
Hey, my brothers computer has recently been getting the BSOD with the page error. I did numerous things to attempt to fix the problem (reinstalled windows, updated bios, cleaned out all the dust inside..) and nothing has worked so far.
I have run memtest and it did find errors and i did check the temperatures and it shows the cpu is running hot (even though theres 3 fans inside the computer). I figured I'd check here with the minidump to see if its something you can def find or its the hardware.
The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xbad0b148, 0x00000000, 0x8057e489, 0x00000000).
between the blue screen of death on his computer and the red rings of death on my 360, im hating microsoft right now. any help is appreciated.
hey there... Try this.... if u have more than one chip of RAM, take one out and allow the pc to run on the remaining chip/s. Do this for all the chips. One or more of your chips might be faulty.
Also check your PSU to see if its not damaged or just gettin old. PSU's tend to lose power output over time and this might be causing your cpu to run hot. Alternatively put a fan of some sort on top or to the side of your OPEN case. This might help cool down the cpu. lol, this is an old but effective method of prolonging PSU death.
if that doesn't work, check your motherboard....it might be damged
let me know how it goes
I have a client computer that got the page fault in nonpaged area error. I tried everything, including booting to WinXP CD, safe mode, even my ERD Commander disk. Changed the memory, disconnected all PCI, AGP and IDE devices. Nothing could boot this computer! So i told the poor guy - it's gotta be the motherboard. It's a shuttle mini PC so I told him basically you're looking at $300 or so including labor to fix, so just get a $400 new Dell PC.
So he got the new PC today and I took the old HD out to recover data. Put it into my external drive caddy, connect it to the new PC, and what happens? Invalid page fault crash! Plugged it into a laptop, invalid page fault!
So! The drive clearly is the problem. Anyone have a suggestion about how to get their data off the drive? It's pretty important stuff.
If you can't connect it to any system without getting fatal errors, I'm afraid the drive and it's data is toast. You might be able to change the hard drives circuit boards and get the drive to run. You would have to find a drive just like the one you have... This is probably an electrical problem and not a mechanical failure. What make is the drive? Most hard drive failures are mechanical

Greetings My first post here I ve been reading about some other people having m-audio problems and was curious if anyone shares my view on this problem I 1010LT fault + at problems, here? Delta crackles is who IRQ have a Dell Dimension Processor Intel R Pentium R D CPU GHz Processor Speed GHz Memory RAM MB Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Professional Operating System Version The card has massive digital glitching happening whenever Delta 1010LT crackles + IRQ problems, who is at fault here? i try Delta 1010LT crackles + IRQ problems, who is at fault here? to record anything I have switched it between PCI slots and reinstalled the driver Delta 1010LT crackles + IRQ problems, who is at fault here? x times Also reinstalled windows But the card always ends up sharing IRQ s I have the APCI motherboard sigh M-Audio states on their site that the card is compatible with Windows XP but according to Windows XP modern PCI based systems PCI devices and PCI device drivers if in compliance with the PCI specifications are designed to share IRQs Windows itself assumes that they can share IRQs and thus makes no attempt to resolve IRQ sharing conflicts M-Audio insists their card has to have its OWN IRQ and it s not their problem that the OS is doing this I am at the end of my rope here becasue they are insisting that everyone is extremely happy with their M-Audio products and that their products work with XP but if they say that their product works with XP and XP assumes their device can share IRQS and m-audio product doesn t want to share an IRQ aren t they misleading consumers nbsp
Sharing IRQ's is standard or default, but you can edit IRQ's to suit... it is risky, as changing IRQ's can change other installs. Read up on the process using a search engine.
Hi All,
I have an Asus P4P800S-X, with an intel chip that has suddenly gone dead.
With no monitor on power up and no reset other than pulling the plug and cold booting.
Was working ok up until a week ago when drives started disappearing.
How do I tell if it's the MB or the CPU thats playing up?
Many Thanks
If things started dissaPEARING IT MIGHT BE THE psu, As it starts burning out, it starts losing the ability to deliver the voltage to the drives. I would start by smelling it. I could be wrong but it sounds like that may be the problem!
Hey Folks,
I get the good old blue screen when running a video editing software STUDIO 10.7
I have a nice new Dell Inspiron 6400 with dual Intel T2050 1.60GHz CPUs, 1GB of RAM. I not sure on how to post the message but I try somehow.
Can someone please help me with this???
I thank you all in advance. *dmp file is attached*
Hello and welcome to Techspot.
Your minidump crashes at HSFHWAZL.sys. This is your 56k modem driver.
If you don`t use a 56k modem, uninstall it. If you do use it, check for any updated drivers. See HERE for info.
Regards Howard :wave: :wave:
My computer has begun to restart itself every time I turn it on. Sometimes it waits until I get into windows and sometimes its while its booting up. Does any one have any suggestions on what could be causing this problem? Thanks!
Faulty OS,
Faulty PSU
Faulty Board.
Check the board capacitors for any that look bubbled on the top and rusty marks on them, sure sign they are failing.
Swap out the PSU.
Press F8 after the PC Post screen and before the XP logo and from the menu choose safemode and see if it restarts in that. If it doesn't its definately an OS fault, if it does refer to above.
Remove all devices apart from one stick of memory and the VGA card and the bootable drive, now see if it does it, if it doesnt then one of the items removed may be responsible, if it does refer to above
Just some suggestions...
I m trying to run Sid Meier s Pirates Just got a GeForce OC MB PCI for my Dimension desktop GHz Pentium MB RAM Card seems to have installed fine but the game freezes within the first minute of being opened Usually Windows then reports that v card's or fault? game's disp dll got trapped in an infinite loop although sometimes the game crashes even earlier than that Un- and reinstalled card's or game's fault? game Un- and reinstalled card drivers Got updated drivers from nvidia -- I looked for which I saw recommended in another thread here but I couldn t find it so I just took the newest stuff How can I start trying to track down what the problem is Are there other graphics-intensive things other than games that would provide an adequate challenge Pirates ran better on the old card an Intel integrated thing that came with the computer but by quot better quot all I mean is that it tended to last longer before crashing nbsp
It could be related to a number of things, such as heat, power loss, too many system resources being used, other system parts bottlenecking or the game being too high a setting or a combination of them.
To check if its PSU/Temp problem:
Since you got a new vid card, generaly, thats going to eat much more power out of the PSU than the integrated. And seeing as you got a prebuilt machine, guesses are you got a cheap PSU with it, or one that no longer meets your requirements. We'll deal with the Heat issue first:
-does your pc feel hot?
-does your fans sound like they're spinning faster than they should?
-have you cleaned out the dust in it with a can/source of compressed air recently?
If you haven't cleaned it out, then do so, but anyways, download Everest Home or Speedfan, and post the temps here. All of them. Be sure to include a reading of when the pc is idle and when you play say, 5 minutes into the game.
3 things you need to check, and post here: the PSU (open the pc case up, and there should be an info sticker on the side, post everything - rails, amps, watts, model, brand)
-then check using a calculator such as this and input your system specs into it, to determine your minimum power needs, then add 30-50watts ontop of that for headroom.
-If you have trouble completeing that last step, or you dont have a clue whats there to fill in blanks, then you can use Everest Home to help you.
-In everest or speedfan, post us the voltages as well, and likewise post results while idle and while runing something intensive for a few minutes.
The ram is advisable to be increased (to 1GB if possible) but from what you said these two (psu and/or heat) are probably the most likely things, so we'll start from there, and work our way down the list. Oh yeh, some indication on what your pc is like would be nice, such as system specs.
Hi everyone i stumble acroos this great site today my computer has started some weird crashes recently. whenever i lclick on I.E. Explorer & few other programs. i 've attached my mini-dump file i hope someone here can help me out
I havent read the minidump but a page fault in nonpage area is almost always related to your pagefile.sys or your ram.
You can delete your pagefile and reboot and windows will make a new one.
And you can download for free and run memtest86 to test your ram, you have to do it one stick at a time.
To see pagefile.sys you need to have Folder Options | View set to ?Show Hidden and System files?, and not to ?Hide Protected mode System files?.
for your pagefile see here:
Here is more info:
I've been getting the blue screen of death with the Page fault in non paged area error. I've read where this can be related to bad memory, but I've replaced my memory recently and the new memory is good (checked it out with memtest86).
Any ideas? Here's the info I got from the Event Viewer:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.
The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xbad0b148, 0x00000000, 0x8057e489, 0x00000000).
A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP.

Even when i uninstall the new hard disk and load the old hard disk... its still the same...
Izzit possible to make the disk work as normal? It was normal yesterday and today its like this... can some one help???
What is you hardware configuration? and what settings do you have for the hard drives in the bios?
I get the double fault halt (blue screen, error 7F, code1 8, code2 80042000, code3 0, code4 0) when I am extracting something from 7-zip archives. The halt never occurs except for extracting from 7zip archives. The halt occurs on every 7-zip archive, both on regular archives and on self-extracting archives. The halt always occurs in the same position of extraction process, as per archive; the position is different for different archives, but always same for a particular archive.
I heard the double fault halt can occur because of damaged RAM, wrong hardware connections or kernel drivers errors. I checked the RAM thoroughly, and the RAM seems to be ok. I tried changing RAM, - the halt still occurs. I reassembled the PC, - the halt still occurs. So I guess it is a kernel driver error, isn't it?
I am attaching the minidump file. Please help me. Thanks.
Hello and welcome to Techspot.
Your minidump crashes with memory corruption. It has a bugcheck of 7F. Faulty ram?
0x0000007F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
One of three types of problems occurred in kernel-mode: (1) Hardware failures. (2) Software problems. (3) A bound trap (i.e., a condition that the kernel is not allowed to have or intercept). Hardware failures are the most common cause (many dozen KB articles exist for this error referencing specific hardware failures) and, of these, memory hardware failures are the most common.
Go HERE and follow the instructions.

hey everyone i just bought asus a v mobo athlon pin venice processor gig corsair value select x and i just happened to have a aiw previously that worked in another pc if any of you are familiar with this set up you should know that there are big problems im talking about infinite loops with the graphics card i dont know if its a via issue or what i think it is anyway when i put it in x mode the ea bsod went away but for some reason now i get a fault? bsod 1000007f??? ahhhh double new bsod it is exactly as this usually when i play a game like bf demo or cs source Error code f parameter parameter parameter parameter it never crashes if i dont run a game ive tried new drivers and old drivers of ati drivers and via agp drivers i dont know if it is faulty hardware or what i ram memtest for like bsod 1000007f??? double fault? ahhhh hours and it came out clean bsod 1000007f??? double fault? ahhhh from research the parameter means double fault but i dont understand what that means someone help me pinpoint bsod 1000007f??? double fault? ahhhh my problem and give me a solution or workaround i cant return this damn motherboard i have a feeling it has something to do with the graphics card cuz i think the geforce ti works i tried it but i cant run bf for more testing yeah so help i also formatted to no avail nbsp
The double fault is usually caused bty stack overflow or faulty RAM. When Windows crashes with blue screen, it writes a system event 1001/1003 and a minidump to the folder \windows\minidump. Check system event 1001 and 1003 and it has the content of the blue screen
Event ID: 1001/1003
Source: Save Dump
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.The bugcheck was : 0xc000000a (0xe1270188, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804032100).
Microsoft Windows..... A dump was saved in: .......
Control Panel -> Adminstrative Tools -> Event Viewer -> System -> Event 1001/1003. Copy the content and paste it back here
Zip 5 to 6 minidumps and attach the zip files here. I will study the dump and find out the culprit.
i've just tested my memory and repeatedly got a fault at memory address 38d73fd4, is there a way to avoid this memory address so i can still use the memory stick without my computer crashing occasionally as it is at the moment.
Also how can i find out which memory stick this memory address belongs to?
Hello and welcome to Techspot.
The easiest way to find out which stick of ram is causing you problems, is to run Memtest on each stick individually.
Once you find out which stick of ram is faulty, your only option is to replace it.

Hi everyone,
Aplogies if this is in the wrong area.
Can someone please advice how to resolve the above BSOD error? It happens about 3 mins after Ive logged into XP (sp2). There has been no new software installed recently and the machine has been working fine up until last night. Would this error point to a problem with my RAM module? I dont want to go through the whole rebuild process if all I need to do is change the RAM. What do you think the best steps would be to take if a RAM change doesnt fix the problem?
Any advice would be greatly apprciated.
Many thanks
Hello and welcome to Techspot.
Download and run the Memtest86+ programme from www.memtest.org
Let it run for at least seven passes. If you don`t have a floppy drive, there is an iso version that you can burn to cd, and then boot from that.
This will tell you if you`ve got a ram problem.

Hi there everyone at techsupport Well Am Gautam from INdia Ok here goes my story I have a ASUS P C Delux motherboard - days back i started to get the usual blue screen of death saying that quot DRIVER IRQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL quot then some memory dump and i have to restart my Repeated card BSODs, fault ? at NIC PC Repeated BSODs, NIC card at fault ? And after booting the dialogue box on the windows screen said quot Windows has encountered a serious error the device quot Asus Repeated BSODs, NIC card at fault ? v Pro seems to be responsible quot etc But then i noticed a very unusual activity with my network card I have a cable connection with a modem installed My Lan card is com Gigabit C on board So at many times i used Repeated BSODs, NIC card at fault ? to get the error quot Network cable unplugged quot even when the modem Lan led kept on The surprising thing was that when i used to get this unplugged error the modem cable LAN led didnt went off which made me think that there is no physical disconnection of the cable with the lan card SO when i used to get this uplugged error i have to disable the lan card and enable it once again which allowed me to surf for around - minutes and then again the error poped up And the important thing is that sometimes while enabling the card my screen used to go blank for a second and another blue screen used o come saying that STOP error PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA Some problematic file pciide sys encountered error i dont exactly know what was there on the screen So i thought that might be my onbard LAN and AGP-PCI i have a pci based asus mb card would be having some IRQ conflict SO i moved my PCI display card to another slot and now my windows system information application says quot IRQ Com Gigabit LOM C OK quot and quot IRQ NVIDIA GeForce MX MX OK quot But nothing helped SO i fianlly disabled my LAN card and intalled the modem using the USB cable After installing the drivers for the modem and doing the necessary settings i have my internet connection up and running without any disconnections or crashes NOW I WANT TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED IS MY ONBOARD NIC CARD FAULTY IF YES THEN HOW SHOULD I CONFIRM IT SO THAT I CAN SEND MY MOTHERBOARD FOR REPLACEMENT Though i tried enabling the onboard lan card which obviously now shows cable unplugged as i have connected my modem through usb and still the PC doesnt crashes Kindly give me some feedback as i want to know the root cause of this problem as to why i was getting BSOD s and system freezes when my modem was connected to my on board NIC THanks waiting for ur reply Gautam nbsp
welcome to techspot.
NOW I WANT TO KNOW WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED????? IS MY ONBOARD NIC CARD FAULTY?? IF YES, THEN HOW SHOULD I CONFIRM IT SO THAT I CAN SEND MY MOTHERBOARD FOR REPLACEMENT??Click to expand...
the errors you reported are the result of a hardware problem. run the computer in each of the following configurations until you get a system error or the machine runs flawlessly for a day or two:
-with the onboard NIC on and connected to the modem
-with the onboard NIC on but not connected to anything
-with the onboard NIC disabled in your bios
at a glance, it seems likely that your problems were caused by faulty hardware, but these steps are important for diagnosing the problem.
hi all Read most of the threads on this problem I have with my daughters pC She has a PC Chips MB Athlon Xp G and mb ram NVIDIA Geforce card She has only LEss Non QUAL In or Not or IRQ Fault Area Page Paged got a small HDD gb and regularly fills it with crap I have to format and reload windows but I keep getting these IRQ Not LEss or QUAL or Page Fault In Non Paged Area errors when i try Can get to where windows asks which partition to put it on and when i select i get the blue screen of death with either of the errors IRQ Not LEss or EQUAL or Page Fault In Non Paged Area I normally have to remove the HDD stick it in my pc and load windows from there Afterwards its IRQ Not LEss or QUAL or Page Fault In Non Paged Area normally ok But shes been getting systems hangs Just got her a new DVD rom amp Gb hdd but problem is even worse loathed to buy a new MOBO or CPU if its a simple fix Thinks it migh be PSU related and there s a thread suggesting the video card might be at fault but why both errors Any help would evry much appreaciated SHREK nbsp
Did you do a full or quick format? Full is better. It over writes all the old files especially old drivers. If that doesnt work it sounds like bad RAM. Try Memtester.
Hi folks,
Brand new to this.
I'm looking for some help with a monitor problem. I currently operate on a iiyama E481S with dual DVI/VGA connections. My monitor has worked well and without problems for the past 3 months. However today on the DVI connection I can only get the colour yellow on screen. In VGA mode the monitor works fine.
Does anyone know what the problem could be ? The graphics card is a ATI Radeon 9200 256mb
Help !!!!!!
Most likely a broken cable or a loose connection. Unplug and replug. Take your chair off the DVI cable
BTW this goes into the "Audio and Video" forum.
I wanna ask how S M A R T affects your computer system when it s on off It is recommended to turn it on off Are you people turning it on off why Sorry but this question bugged me for years RAMs What is the difference between quot RAM, S.M.A.R.T., fault HDD better quot RAMs and quot Normal quot RAMs Crucial claimed that their RAMs are quot better quot than others but I thought RAMs S.M.A.R.T., RAM, HDD fault are the same Or is there any function difference or more reliability What will happen if I placed both PC s and PC s on A PC S.M.A.R.T., RAM, HDD fault -only motherboard A PC -compatible motherboard I tried to copy files from my HDD to my HDD but during the middle of the copying the system keeps crash then recover then crash then recover and finally it gave a BSOD quot Data couldn t not be written onto D quot The HDD LED keeps flashing but there s no activity Is my HDD dying it s a Seagate ST series gb rpm nbsp
S.M.A.R.T. = Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology
It's a system that utilises internal hard disk drive monitoring technology.
Turning it on shouldn't translate in lower performance but remember that it is asking for the HDD to do some extra monitoring work.
The difference between "normal" & "better" can be many things. It can go from better PCB use, better memory modules yields to better warranty, etc. I've had a few issues with NoName RAMS so from now on I only go with brands that I know ( such as Crucial ). Brand RAM can generally work with very aggressive memory timings without any problems. I've had Stability problems on my A7V66-E when I used NoName RAM even though RAM timings were set to SPD ( most conservative timings ).
Using PC133 on a PC100 motherboard will make it work at 100. When you mix memory types, both of the memory modules will align on the slowest one ( 100 in this case ). Otherwise, it would be overclocking your PC100 module to 133 & as in any other overclock, luck plays a major role in it.
I was trying to read\download a page (eg.product specification sheet) from a website here and all I could view was a big colour block (black) page with no text?
Then a "pop up -see jpg image" window which would arrive\chime three times (after clicking OK) before the the page would become "static"
using free-ware Adobe Reader 9 (Version 9.1.3)
See attached image for reader fault explanation
Edit:Anyone have any idea(s) why this might be occurring please? Is it the website I'm trying download\save the file from or is it a problem with my "reader"?

Hi everybody,
For the past 1 month I've been getting Irql not less or equal and Page fault in non paged area BSODs every day several times and I have read so many posts for troubleshooting these errors and tried so many of them, from a clean windows 7 install to updating drivers, using driver sweeper and then updating again and what not..
But I just dotn seem to understand whats wrong. Tried understanding the minidumps using bluescreen view and I all could gather was some issue with ntoskernel.exe
I'm attaching my minidumps, can someone please tell me whats wrong - is it my laptop getting too hot or some driver etc?
Extra Info: The laptop is HP dv-7 running Win7-x64 and does seem to get pretty hot, especially when I'm playing Counter Strik 1.6 on Steam and crashes are much more frequent when I'm playing Steam CS 1.6
Thanks and Regards

Hi I ve been having trouble with my PC which was built for me by a friend and the issue appears to be with the RAM I was hoping someone could advise me on what steps I can take The problem is that every so often sometimes times a day sometimes once a week it s very intermitent my computer will just freeze seemingly for no reason When it s about to freeze my mouse cursor will turn to the blue circle and for a few seconds I can still move my mouse around but I can t click anything After those few seconds the animation on the mouse cursor stops and I can no longer move the cursor around Nothing works whatsoever I ve tried opening task manager alt tabbing between programs etc but it s just completely frozen As I said this problem is intermitent - the computer has been fine for a week or so at a time but sometimes this will happen or times in a day I ve tried leaving the computer for up to hours after it froze to see whether it would recover had some unsaved work that I was desperate to keep lol but it just stayed the same This has been happening ever since the computer was built about months ago and I ve tried to look for patterns which might be PC on RAM with possible build Help new fault causing it but I haven t found any Sometimes it happens within a minute of Windows starting up other times my computer can be on for hours without it happening playing FIFA which most likely uses a lot of resources It seems to be completely random There was once but only once where rather than just freezing up a BSOD appeared which I hope may be crucial to diagnosing the problem The error in the BSOD was quot page fault in nonpaged area quot - from googling that error it seems to be consistent with the freezing which keeps happening and seems to be related to the RAM I spoke to my friend who built my computer who advised me to check the BIOS settings for the RAM timings and voltage I got these from the manufacturers website but there only appears to be a setting for out of the timings TRCD TRP and TRAS I can t see a setting for CAS and I can t see Help with possible RAM fault on new build PC anywhere to enter the voltage All of the settings were set to Auto and I changed the which I could find to match the timings on the manufacturers website but the issue remains Any advice on what else I could try My computer details are Procesor - AMD Phenom II X Ghz Motherboard - Asus M A T-M Graphics - Radeon HD GB Power Supply - ModXStream-Pro W RAM - Corsair VengeanceLP DDR GB x GB OS - Windows Bit nbsp

my PC did not power up when I pressed power button. The motherboard has lights (leds). turning power on at psu lights up leds. pressing power on pc button fires up the fans for < 1 second and then nothing.fans stop, boot process doesnt proceed but lights remain on board.
So I buy a new psu (another 800 watt). I unplug all but bare essentials on board. same issue. I then take out the 8 pin adapter (so only the 24 pin is connected) and leds remains on and boot up starts (yipee). I then put the 8 pin in again and it fails in the same manner as before.

800 watt psu
any idea where fault lies? I assume board.
...then go after the motherboard
Hi there im fairly new and saw these forums while browsing the web.
So the story started when I tried installing spiderman web of shadows, after installing it I tried playing it but it didnt start (so I clicked almost 30 times on the .exe) which opened the game 30 times and caused the "PAGE_FAULT IN NON-PAGED AREA" BSOD for the first time. Then I thought it was the game (because it happened exactly when I started spiderman) and uninstalled it. Unfortunately it didnt stop the BSOD and it got worse (I cant even login or use safe mode, though safe mode works occasionally). Ive tried almost everything such as memtest86, system restore, moving the RAM into a different socket, avg pc tune up, anti-virus etc etc etc.
So I came here BEGGING for help please, I have no clue what to do anymore. (mini dumps have been attached)
All 12 minidumps are the same:
Since you can't log-in, you can't run CHKDSK, but if you can get on another computer and download the hard drive's testing software and create a bootable flash drive or CD(DVD) and run that software at boot up. Is the hard drive a SSD?
hi, im new and i found my way here whilst googling the error message in the title. unfortuneatly the thread i was reading is now locked so i started a new one (i hope thats ok)
iam trying to fix my friends computer which bluescreens randomly with the error in the thread title.
i saw the in other thread people were asked to provide minidump files, so i have attached some here also.
there are only 4 files in the zip (due to 100kb limit here). the last 3 files are the ones generated whilst the computer has been in my posession.
can anyone throw any light onto what may be the problem, could it be bad ram?
thanks in advance
This is generally a memory problem.
go to microsoft.com and search: "page fault in nonpaged area" some usefull info ffom microsoft support will come up.
Hey all,
I am having real troubles, my work computer is not working properly. I keep getting a non paged fault. I have tried finding the solution, but I haven't had luck.
Can someone analyze my minidump and hopefully let me know the solution?
Thanks in advance.
Your error code is 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).
The problem cited as your issue is Pool_Corruption which has to do with a series of drivers that are having issues functioning properly.
The Symantec/Norton antivirus driver navap.sys is particularly noted as not being able to be loaded.
Question: Are you running/have installed more than one antivirus?
1. There is the possiblility you are infected, or...
2. You need to update Norton, or...
3. Uninstall Norton, reinstall and then update.
* Please let us know the answer to the question and what steps you take.
Hello, I had been moving some images around and i hit Ctrl+X to cut 30 when my system crashed. The BSOD message came up with this:
I looked for minidumps to submit but there were none in the minidump folder. Can anyone help? This is the second time this has happened, both times it has said the same thing. Both times have been this month.
Pretty sure if you update your onboard intel graphics driver it will then work
Just recently, when I leave my PC running for longer than 15 minutes, for instance, when AVG is searching, my Screen Saver is progammed to cut in, but I get a black screen, it clears as usual, by moving the mouse, or touching a key.
I'm not particularly bothered by this as it does no harm, but wondered how it can be corrected, I've gone to properties for that area, but can't see anything there that I can do.
Thanks, Maurice.
Hi Stumbled upon this forum when researching a frequent BSOD which occurs when playing Counter-strike Condition Zero The BSOD originally showed up as a page fault in nonpage area caused by win k sys When crashing the sound locks up display goes bad and then displays the BSOD After researching this problem some measures were taken to resolve the issue by updating drivers which initially was quite promising with no crash but after half an hour or so a new BSOD occured this time the page fault in nonpaged area Frequent CS:CZ, page in BSODs fault is said to be caused by Dnetr u sys which should be associated with my Wifi USB adapter from D-Link Memory tests have been run Memtest and windows own not that extended tests though and shows no errors My system Windows Vista SP Gigabyte FX-DS North Bridge AMD FX South Bridge AMD SB Realtek ALC A codec AUDIO Realtek B chip LAN Athlon X x gb hard-drives running in mirrored RAID D-Link DWA- Rangebooster Wifi USB adapter latest driver Sapphire HD Graphics card latest catalyst Click to expand When trying to update the system drivers through the gigabyte home page there seems to be a problem installing the quot north bridge filter driver quot this one comes up as not being of the current version when the install Frequent BSODs in CS:CZ, page fault manager analyzes the system after installing the same driver And the Frequent BSODs in CS:CZ, page fault debugged crash dump PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA Invalid system memory was referenced This cannot be protected by try-except it must be protected by a Probe Typically the address Frequent BSODs in CS:CZ, page fault is just plain bad or it is pointing at freed memory Arguments Arg aa ea memory referenced Arg value read operation write operation Arg c If non-zero the instruction address which referenced the bad memory address Arg reserved Debugging Details ------------------ Page a b not present in the dump file Type quot hh dbgerr quot for details READ ADDRESS aa ea FAULTING IP Dnetr u c c b ffffff mov edx dword ptr ebp- BCh MM INTERNAL CODE IMAGE NAME Dnetr u sys DEBUG FLR IMAGE TIMESTAMP a c MODULE NAME Dnetr u FAULTING MODULE Dnetr u DEFAULT BUCKET ID VISTA DRIVER FAULT BUGCHECK STR x PROCESS NAME hl exe CURRENT IRQL TRAP FRAME aa c -- trap xffffffffaa c ErrCode eax f c b ebx ecx edx esi dbf e edi b eip c esp aa cd ebp aa f iopl nv up ei ng nz ac pe nc cs ss ds es fs gs efl Dnetr u x c c b ffffff mov edx dword ptr ebp- BCh ss aa ea Resetting default scope LAST CONTROL TRANSFER from bf to dd STACK TEXT aa c c bf aa ea nt MmAccessFault x a aa c c c aa ea nt KiTrap E xdc WARNING Stack unwind information not available Following frames may be wrong aa d c c b ff aa da Dnetr u x c aa d c fadc f e hal KfLowerIrql x aa db c c fd f e x fadc aa dcc c b fd aa dec hal HalpCheckForSoftwareInterrupt x aa ddc f b a f e aa e hal KfLowerIrql x aa de a f e aa e f hal KfReleaseSpinLock xb aa dec f f dd dd USBPORT USBPORT ReleaseEpListLock x aa e d d c c USBPORT USBPORT TxCsqReleaseLock x aa e c dca b a nt IoCsqInsertIrpEx x aa f dc c b fsdfw x b aa f c e e fsdfw x c aa fe c e a ad Dnetr u x c aa b c e b ac Dnetr u x c aa dbf e b ac ndis ndisMSendNBLToMiniport xb aa a b ac b ac ndis ndisFilterSendNetBufferLists x b aa b afa b ac ndis NdisFSendNetBufferLists x aa a b aa c aa c nwifi Dot OnDisassociate x aa ebf a ad nwifi Dot FlushIntermediateSendQueue x aa ec nwifi MP SendNBLInternal xe aa c c a ad nwifi MP Send x aa a afb a ad nwifi FilterSendNetBufferLists x aa c a a ad a ad ndis ndisFilterSendNetBufferLists x b aa dc d c a ad ndis NdisFSendNetBufferLists x aa fc e a ad anodlwf x c aa c a a ad a ad ndis ndisFilterSendNetBufferLists x b aa d f ab a c a ad ndis NdisFSendNetBufferLists x aa b e f a ad pacer PcFilterSendNetBufferLists x aa cc b a a ad a ad ndis ndisSendNBLToFilter x aa f c ce a ad ndis NdisSendNetBufferLists x f aa c ac tcpip FlSendPackets x aa c cbb cc ca tcpip IppFragmentPackets x aa b c ab cc ca aa cc c tcpip IppDispatchSendPacketHelper x aa c f a c...

Please post complete specs of the system in question including PSU type/model etc.
Stress test your graphic card with OCCT, and RAM with memtest (you can find it in techspot's download section). Run minimum of 8 passes on each individual RAM Module.
Also ensure that your RAM's specs are correctly set in BIOS.

Tell us when you get these BSODs, i.e., randomly or are you doing something specific at the time.
You have errors 0x3B and two 0xA but they only cite Windows OS drivers and these are usually too general to be of much diagnostic help.
By the way, I noticed your system hardware (nice set-up; love to hear your feed back on that 635 processor) and you are running 6 gigs of RAM. Try running with just 4 gigs. Do you gain stability?

Your error code is 0xA and these are caused by either hardware or drivers attempting an IRQ Level addresss higher than they are designed for resulting in system crashes.
The file cited the WINdows OS drive HIDCLASS.sys and usually OS drivers are too general to be of much help but in your case it is probably the exception.
HID stands for Human Interface Device and often has to do with HID USB components. Research has shown that in some cases people had to disable HID-compliant consumer control devices from Device Manager. Ofdten in the case of getting games to work; I am not endorsing this step, only relaying information.
It looks like a bad HID (read controller, keyboard, mouse etc) driver; probably kernel level drivers for USB devices.
It could be your mouse or keyboard. Are they USB connected?

nv4.disp.dll is a Nvidia display driver. Try the following:
1. Download Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper (both have free versions; make sure the version will work with your OS) to your desktop screen and install.
2. Download the latest diver(s) for your video card but don't install them.
3. Uninstall your video card drivers and reboot your PC into Safe Mode. Run Driver Cleaner Pro or Driver Sweeper but ONLY for the video card drivers. I had someone use it on their chipset drivers! If it doesn't find any video card drivers that is quite okay.
4. Reboot and install new video card drivers.

It appears that you are not hindered by a password for the hard drive.
OEM computers often have Recovery Partition on the hard drive and it is accessible from the initial burst screen (screen message directs you to depress the correct key). This will put you back to out-of-the-box conditions. You lose all personal files and applications. Sometimes the recovery software only reloads XP and saves a copy of the c: drive (you need to be skillful to use this to recover out-of-support applications).
OEM computers usually permit making one copy of the Recovery CD, which is equivalent to the Recovery Partition. Based on you description, this may not succeed. Dell probably has its own directory for tools.
At some point in time you will need that cmos battery for the mobo.

? Stop 0x7F messages are typically due to defective, malfunctioning, or failed memory hardware. If you added new hardware recently, remove and replace it to determine if it is causing or contributing to the problem. Run diagnostics software supplied by the system manufacturer to determine if the component has failed.
? Running the CPU beyond the rated specification, known as "overclocking," can cause Stop 0x7F or other error messages due to heat buildup. When diagnosing problems on overclocked systems, first restore all clock and bus speed settings to the manufacturer recommended values to determine if this resolves the issues.
? The problem might also be due to cracks, scratched traces, or defective components on the motherboard. If all else fails, take the system motherboard to a repair facility for diagnostic testing.
? Stop 0x7F messages can occur after installing incompatible applications, drivers, or system services. Contact the software manufacturer about possible Windows XP specific updates. Using updated software is especially important for backup programs, multimedia applications, antivirus scanners, and CD mastering tools.
Given that your problem seems to have begun with the game, I would suggest the following...
1. Try uninstalling the game, and see you you continue to get errors. If errors go away, this would indicate a buggy or incompatible driver / game component.
2. Given that this error is a fairly strong indicator of hardware though...
a. Are you overclocking? If so, then reset to standard clocking.
b, Are you certain your bios memory settings are correct for your memory. If not, check and adjust as needed.
c. Run memtest. It is safe. Run it per the instructions, which you seem to have already found.
Please follow this guide... http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic62524.html
Please note that (unless you start getting errors reported) you will need to let this run a long time.
A good way of doing this is to let it run over night. In each 'pass" there are a series of eight memory tests that are run, each more complicated than the previous. You need to let it run a minimum of 7 passes, unless you start getting errors. If you have errors reported, you may want to re-run the test with only one stick of ram installed, checked each stick until you isolate those that are faulty. That way you can limit your replacement to those that actually need it.
Let us know the results.
If your memory comes up without errors, then ...
Try a program like Everest, or CrystalDiskInfo...
The former is a general look at your system and may catch disk issues.
The latter is specifically for hard drive diagnostic.
I do not really think that your hard-drive is at issue, but one of this programs may provide some additional clues.
Finally, If any logs are generated by the above suggestions, post them.
THEN, also attach a zip of your five most recent minidumps, found in Windows\minidump.
More system specs would also be helpful, including your XP SP#. (Service pack 1, 2, or 3)
Hope this gives a starting point. After you repost, I or one of the others will check your information further and see what we can do to help.
Hello, I was hoping someone could help me troubleshoot my BSOD issue by looking at my minidump. That just sounds wrong.
Your help would be GREATLY appreciate....

My personal feeling is, it's your Norton AntiVirus causing the issue.
But un-installing Alcohol or DaemonTools will fix it
Hi, my computer was fine for the past year to two years, i've never gotten a BSOD. But yesterday I got one and I've been struggling to deal with it since. I believe the problem may be with a hard drive of mine. Because everytime I even attempt to plug it into the USB (its in an enclosure right now), it gives me a BSOD. And the same thing happens when i try to plug it in as a regular sata hard drive. anything I do i get a BSOD. I am even unable to boot the computer from the cd. any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated, because I do not want to lose the things on that hard drive. I will also post the six minidumps.
Thank you.

All errors are the same 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).
Unfortuantely they only list Windows OS druvers as the probable cause and for the most part OS drivers are not much help for diagnosing the problem, only pointing out that there is a problem.
1. Have you scanned for infections?
2. Since it is an HP I am not sure you can do this but go into your BIOS, find the memory voltage setting and compare it to the voltage the memory was designed for by the RAM's manufacturer. Are there descrepencies?
3. Run Memtest on your RAM.
See the link below and follow the instructions. There is a newer version than what is listed but either one should work. If you need to see what the Memtest screen looks like go to reply #21. The third screen is the Memtest screen.
Step1 - Let it run for a LONG time. The rule is a minimum of 7 Passes; the more Passes after 7 so much the better. The only exception is if you start getting errors before 7 Passes then you can skip to Step 2.
There are 8 individual tests per Pass. Many people will start this test before going to bed and check it the next day.
If you have errors you have corrupted memory and it needs to be replaced.
Step 2 ? Because of errors you need to run this test per stick of RAM. Take out one and run the test. Then take that one out and put the other in and run the test. If you start getting errors before 7 Passes you know that stick is corrupted and you don?t need to run the test any further on that stick.

Changed Sata Cable but no use.
How we come to know where is the issue. Please help me out to fix this. I have attached dump file in zip.
My system specifications are:
Operating system : Windows XP service pack 2
Ram 512 MB
Hard Disk 160 GM
Pentium ®D CPU 3.40 GHZ.
I really appreciate your help. Thanks in Advance!
Try testing your memory using Memtest86... Use Google to find it
Hi all A few fault from XP a recovered serious weeks ago I XP recovered from a serious fault posted with this same problem and after having a look at my minidump file someone suggested I change my creative audio sound driver - I did do that and the problem seemed to go away for a while anyway Last night while I was asleep the computer crashed again I woke up to a reboot and windows telling me it had recovered from a serious fault I don XP recovered from a serious fault t know why it didn t act up for several weeks and now the problem is back as far as I remember the only new software I ve installed since then was GOM player which I installed to help a friend with the settings and the next day uninstalled and an update to the Opera browser The only other strange thing with this computer is that I ve gone through two dvd burners in a few months I do a LOT of burning - I buy a burner and in a couple weeks Nero is no longer able to verify and gets read errors But that s probably just bad luck with hardware I doubt it has anything to do with this problem Anyway I would really appreciate it if someone could have a look at my minidump file and give any suggestions once again Thanks so much nbsp

the error means that your PC asked for a page of memory , and the page was not available. when the operation could not continue, it BSOD'd and shut down. Its usually happens as a result of a hardware that is misfiring or failing. The 'Page_Fault_in_Nonpaged_Area' and "driver_irql_not_less_or_equal" BSOD's often show up consecutively and alternately. Things to try to correct or identify the problem are to restore your machine to the last know working configuration. if the problem keeps appearing run disk check for errors on your HDD. if that shows nothing, the next most likely suspect is a problem with the Ram. You can download any number of programs that will test your ram for errors. Win 7 has a built in memory test (not sure about the RC though) and you do not have to burn a disc to run it. Hope that helps some.
Hi as computer Serious system - fault reboots you can see from the title of the thread my computer has been rebooting on its own for no reason At first I thought it was just when I burn dvds but as it turns out this is not Serious system fault - computer reboots the case I m not tech-minded so please have patience with me from reading other threads and troubleshooting issues I hope I can provide all the information necessary After the reboot Windows warns me that it has encountered a serious system error This is the information I can give you from my Event Viewer and I have also saved and attached the dmp file for the last time this happened Category Event ID Error code c parameter parameter cd parameter c parameter ada d f f f d c c c I only reformatted this pc about weeks ago and I hope to not have to do it again Also if this is a driver issue or something similar reformatting may not solve the problem if I install the same apps I do do a lot of downloading from the net but I doubt this is a trojan or virus though you never know This pc is linked to a local Linux server which we use instead of a router but the networking program has been written by a software specialist and I know nothing about it except for how to open and close ports we don t even have a monitor or keyboard hooked up to it but we ve been using this system for a couple years with no problems I hope someone hear my cry for help and comes to my rescue Thanks dap nbsp
See if you can update your sound card drivers. Sound card drivers are known to crash with bugcheck C2 (especially Creative).

Hello All
I am getting this error ntfs.sys PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGE AREA bluescreen
on an Vista Ultimate 64-bit system
I have been using this system for 5-6 months - no problems
When i restarted today i am getting this message. I have attached the MiniDump
Any help is appreciated ...
Both minidumps are stating hardware as the issue but nothing specific as to what hardware it can be. So...
1. Go to your start menu and run ChKDsk in your Run box.
2. Run a full harddrive diagnostics. This will take time but well worth it.
3. Run MemTest on your RAM for a minimum of 7 passes. If you have errors you need to run this test on each stick to determine the corrupted memory stick (s). Replace.
Current Setup:
Gigabyte ATi Radeon 4850 with Zalman cooler
Asus M4A785TD-V EVO, AMD 785G Chipset, DDR3, AM3, ATX
OCZ 4GB PC3-10666 DDR3 Platinum Low Voltage (2x2GB)
Have updated all drivers and run all windows updates however I still randomly receive the Page Fault in Non paged area error 0x50
I will attach the recent memory dumps
I have tried running chkdsk /f /r and memtest numerous times, so that rules out those issues perhaps
Only had the components for around 2 -3 weeks
I've also cleared the page file and started a new one and the system doesn't overheat
I have a 120mm fan on the rear a 250mm on the side and a high speed 120mm on the front
This error can either be caused by faulty hardware or a service ...... start with checking your RAM Sticks i'd advise.
I had this problem a while back and it seemed to resolve itself when I installed SP2.
I had to reinstall XP again and - hooray - this problem is back
It seems to happen sporadically; selecting a user on the XP login screen, clicking a link in Firefox, opening a Word doc - I can't see a pattern.
I've run chkdsk, memtest, cleaned my ram contacts as per the guide and no luck.
Attached is my minidump; any ideas what could be the root of my problem? I installed all xp patches, drivers etc, all software is current (filehippo.com) and my video and audio drivers are correct and current using the sis.com model scanner and download facility.
I'm really stumped on this and it's annoying the hell out of me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Could be a memory problem. Download and run memtest86 for at least 7 passes. That should tell you if it is a memory problem. The ffffffbf8 may be a memory address.
I built this computer a little over a year ago so i dunno why this is happening now...
When i open counter-strike and start playing, things seem fine, but then after 10 - 20 minutes of playing the game just freezes. Sometimes i get a BSOD, but sometimes i can just alt+F4 out and restart the game.
I almost always get a page fault in non-paged area and it gives me n4_disp.dll
Ive read the sticky and ran memtest+
I couldnt get past 70% after running the test twice for some reason...
here are 2 screenshots:
the minidumps are attached.
My system specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ venice
2 x 512 PQI ram DDR400
250GB SATAII hd
NVIDIA Geforce 7600 GT
My mobo is an ASRock dual but i forgot which one...
i have a 400W FSP PSU...
anything else ive forgotten?
"n4_disp.dll" is part of an Nvidia driver. Do you have an Nvidia video card? Does the motherboard have an Nvidia chipset?
I have major problems with my computer and in desperate need of help This community looked great on a similar issue and thought I d share my problem in hopes that someone can help me fix it all up I run into two BSOD s sometimes forget what the third one says Page Fault in Non Paged Area IRQL Not Less Or Equal Please note in Not Paged Fault Area/IRQL Non BSOD: Less Equal Or Page I BSOD: Page Fault in Non Paged Area/IRQL Not Less Or Equal have tried installing Vista many times over and I get the same results each time This is with a new install of Vista SP on my computer So I have installed Vista bit Ultimate onto my desktop installed ALL updates onto my computer BSOD: Page Fault in Non Paged Area/IRQL Not Less Or Equal including driver updates which Windows automatically installs Then at completely random times I get BSOD- quot Page Fault in Non Pages Area quot and sometimes BSOD: Page Fault in Non Paged Area/IRQL Not Less Or Equal IRQL Not Less Or Equal BSOD- however mostly the former The Page Fault error usually happens more often than not when copying large amount of data onto my hard drive from an external that works perfectly fine with my laptop running vista however I know it not my hard drive see explanation in next paragraph I have run memtest on my RAM- all good Tried removing separate sticks of RAM and I get the same result with BSOD I have checked my hard disk for errors and everything is fine there Even tried using a different hard drive to install vista on- same errors I am completely stumped Not to mention extremely frustrated I know I have minidumps but can not work out an easy way to read them So I have attached two dumps of KB- zipped to attach It must be an issue with my hardware but I can t figure out what part Any help on this would be greatly appreciated cheers David Edit Extra Detail- this BSOD happens at any time My desktop is currently running fine for min and no BSOD its just sitting here doing nothing- will no doubt BSOD soon without me touching it EDIT It just BSOD and I didn t touch a thing- ntfs sys was mentioned nbsp
So its a clean install of Vista, and you have no other programs installed, not even Antivirus software?
Or are you using a specific Antivirus software? Or did the crashes happen even before that was installed?
Also you ran Memtest, but did you run it for approx ~ 4 hours? Here's a Guide on that: http://www.techspot.com/vb/post653029-21.html
Have you got any extra hardwares installed? Including internal cards? (on your "computer")

It is good you gave so many minidumps because in the middle of one, #8 in fact, I think we might have found your issue. It is wininit.exe and this is a serious trojan. See the following:
wininit.exe - Here is the scoop on Wollf.16 Trojan as it pertains to computer network security. The big question: what is wininit.exe and is it spyware, a trojan and if so, how do I get rid of Wollf.16 Trojan?
wininit.exe (Wollf.16 Trojan) - Details
If a process named wininit.exe is running on your computer, you may have been infected with a strain of the Wollf.16 trojan.
wininit.exe is considered to be a security risk, not only because antivirus programs flag Wollf.16 Trojan as a trojan, but also because other sites consider it a Trojan as well.
Wollf.16 Trojan is likely a Trojan and as such, presents a serious vulnerability which should be fixed immediately! Delaying the removal of wininit.exe may cause serious harm to your system and will likely cause a number of problems, loss of data, loss of control or leaking private information.
I strongly suggest running a virus scan A.S.A.P.. If you can access Kaspersky's and Tend-micro's online scanners than by all means do so. Also, you'll want to check the stickies in the Security forum of how to deal with infections.
In two of your minidumps SRTSP.SYS was cited twice and NAVEX15.SYS was cited once and these are drivers for Symantec's antivirus program. It could be that the trojan has compromised your security suite. Regardless, there are issues with these drivers.
Pool_Corruption and Ntkrpamp.exe were listed several times. The latter is required by Windows for applications to work properly and should not be disabled.
At first I thought it might be your RAM and it wouldn't hurt to run Memtest, but first run those scans.
Also, if you don't have one, get a router.

Then you are too low on RAM memory. You stated that when you use only one module, the problem appears. Unless I don't follow what you're trying to say.
recently I had this BSOD when playing an online game :
Event Type: Information
Event Source: Save Dump
Event Category: None
Event ID: 1001
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xb91990ea, 0x00000000, 0xb91990ea, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
I already tried using memtest to check my memory, but it passed the test with no errors. Also tried changing my nvidia driver to older/newer ones.
using XP Pro SP2. Minidump file also included.
This single minidump points to SAFEMON.sys...
You might want to run CCleaner to delete temp files and other nasties. Also run a good spyware/malware cleaner
I have a machine that is giving me page fault errors. I have attached a couple of dmp files if someone could tell me ram or video.
The ram situation is 2 slots both filled. I removed one ram stick and it Blue screened on me again so I removed the other and put the one back.
thanks in advance
Most often, this error message is caused by driver errors. Download and reinstall your video graphics driver to start. Look at all the drivers to see if there have been recent upgrades you may want to download.
Then run a Memtest86 test for four hours or 7 passes, which ever comes first. Be sure your CPU fan is working well.

any help on this would be greatly appreciated, the minidump is attached.
Your error is 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).
Your minidump specifically cited corrupted memory as the issue. You will need to run Memteast on your RAM.
See the link below and follow the instructions. There is a newer version than is listed but either one should work. If you need to see what the Memtest screen looks like go to reply #21. The third screen is the Memtest screen.
Let it run for a LONG time. The rule is a minimum of 7 Passes; the more Passes after 7 so much the better. There are 8 individual tests per Pass. Many people will start this test before going to bed and check it the next day.
If you have errors you have corrupted memory and it needs to be replaced.
Also, with errors you need to run this test per stick of RAM. Take out one and run the test. Then take that one out and put the other in and run the test. If you start getting errors before 7 Passes you know that stick is corrupted and you don?t need to run the test any further on that stick.

* Get back to us with the results.
* Also, for future reference you do not need to individually zip minidumps. If you have only one or two attach as is.
I had this bsod with the message,
stop: 0x00000000 (0xffffffff, 0x00000000, 0xffffffff, 0x00000000)
that is all the information there was, except for the usual explanation, there was not referred to any address.
please help the best you have learned, thanks.
Unfortunately this problem has many potential causes and therefore is really a process of elimination.
Take a look at the following page Windows Stop Messages

Good day,
when I start my computer, I see a blue screen of death with the following error: page fault in nonpaged area. Starting in safe mode gives the same blue screen. At the bottom of the screen the following line is displayed:
0x00000050 (0x80fff000,0x00000000,0xf86e9036,0x00000000)
It is a Dell computer with a 2.8 Ghz processer and 512 MB internal memory. The computer is original, I mean not overclocked. Could you help me with this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Anne, the mods will most likely move this to the BSOD sub-forum in the Windows OS board.
Your error is 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).
As you can read the cause could be due to many things but right now we don't have enough information to even make an educated guess except for that due to you receiving this message even in safe mode idicates it might be a driver issue..
Please give us your hardware specs and the internet security you are running. Also, have you downloaded anything recently or have you made any changes to your system?
Hi I am new here and having a problem with a BSOD and the message comes up page fault in a non paged area. I randomly get a BSOD after the computer comes on. I researched it and I think it is a trojan of some sort. Any info on this/fixes would be extremely helpful. Thank you soo much.
BSODs are not generally caused by viri
1. check your anti-virus and anti-trojan results.
2. check your drivers
3. test your ram for at least 7 passes with memtest 86+ (FREE)
4. test your PSU with a PSU tester and multimeter
5. check your registry with ccleaner (FREE)
Hi to Driver from but likely Fault, which one? BSOD What do? all Ever since I purchased my Asus W J T ATI Mobility X I ve been plagued by BSOD casued by no particular action and at completely random times and intervals Suspecting the RAM I replaced it despite making it through many passes of memtest but no dice BSOD likely from Driver Fault, but which one? What to do? the problem persisted The Windows Error Reporter tells me I have a driver problem and running my minidumps through Windb tells me the same thing but they rarely get more specific than that I occasionally am told that my video driver is at fault but I ve upgraded it every time a new one is available and have tried the Omega Drivers as well to avail I ve tried updating virtually every other driver as well since I can t be sure it s the video driver Writing this very post somehow caused a BSOD so I ve been forced to switch to my faithful Linux backup computer for the time being Since the T can support it I think I may try to install Vista -bit and hope that a new set of drivers will resolve the problem Is this likely The three most recent Minidumps will be attached as soon as I can get the other computer running long enough to edit this post Thanks Brett nbsp
When you have done Windb do you continue on to the kd> space at the bottom for further analysis by typing !analyze -v and then press enter to get detailed bugging information?
I have found that zeros me right to the driver causing the issue.
Edited Update: I read your minidumps and the two from 3/11 and 3/24 point to the ntkrpamp.exe and the one on 3/26 is due to win32k.sys. From what I have been reading, some from the archives of Tech Spot itself, 80% of it points to faulty RAM. Do a MemTest86+ for at least 10 passes to see if you have any memory errors.
Others here have greater knowledge than I, but if you have bad memory that can cause all kinds of headaches.
Well first of all this is my first post here so if I didn t provide any neccessary information please tell me I m new here and don t have much knowledge on this but I really need your help My computer was working fine until one day when I restarted my computer because I couldn t seem to log in to window live messenger my computer couldn t run into the window It keep on crashing and appearing the blue screen which said something about page fault in nonpaged area I got some of these errors before and after restarting my computer it seems to work normally But this time no matter how many times I kept restarting this message keep appearing I couldn t go into the safe mode or any other mode coz this thing would always appear So I couldn t provide you with the minidump I also tried taking out the two rams and switching the socket clean the fan the fan s working fine but it didn t work Please help me on this Thanks in advance ps I couldn t take the vga card out coz my mainboard isn t vga on board no place to plug the wire connection with the monitor except on the vga card nbsp
Attach Minidumps by doing the following:
Go to C drive > go to Windows Folder > find Minidump Folder and click on said folder. There will be Minidump files within. I usually make a temporary folder on my desktop screen and transfer my Minidumps files for easy access.
When you post back to this thread attach Minidumps like you would any file or document; the best way is to put them in a Zip format if you can, especially if you have a number of them.

Im having the same problem, I've changed HD, RAM, Graphics card, Mobo, updated drivers and BIOS, checked for malware, ran a CPU checker, memtest - the whole lot and it still crashes.
From day one I've been convinced its the processor (AMD Athlon 3000+) but Im yet to change this, spent enough already - might as well as just bought a new PC
Also Windows Explorer / Internet Explorer crashes alot too - dont know if this is the same with you or its a related problem?
I was having difficulties with Nero, so I reinstalled it. Nero was
still acting up so I uninstalled it again. After that, when I tried
to logon to windows from then on I got a blue screen including
"PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" and "*** STOP: 0x00000050 (0xf2851000, 0x00000001, 0x8057fbce, 0x00000000)"
I believe that this may be due to a hardware failure or corrupted
system file, but I am unsure. From safe mode, I have ran nod32 viri
scanner, ccleaner, and ad-aware, and nothing has been detected.
Wasn't sure if the dumpfile uploaded correctly so here is a backup link:
My RAM was working well before the install/uninstall of Nero.
Would someone please examine my minidump file? Thanks.
I have a
1.5 ghz AMD
Geforce 2 graphics card
internal 60, 120 GB
external 233, 233, 80 GB
512 ram ((2) 256 strips)

Hi Heshhesh,
One minidump is insufficient to determine the culprit. You have to attach 5 to 6 minidumps for further investigation
i made a computer about a month or so ago and i started getting these errors about 2-3 weeks ago when that blue screen pops up and gives these errors to me. so here is a minidump from a error i got thanks for looking it over.
please ZIP up your last 2-3 minidumps and add them as an attachment.
TXT files do me no good for analysis.
also run memtest 86+ booted from a floppy in the meantime to test your memory. run for 7 passes at least. ensure all drivers and BIOS are up to date.
