Page Fault and Memory Management after video card installation

ColossalMenace · 28 Jul 2011

Hey all

A couple of weeks ago I upgraded video cards from a Galaxy GeForce 210 (that I had put in my custom built from a previous Dell) to a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460. Everything worked fine at first but shortly after installing it i've started to get page fault in nonpaged area and memory management BSOD's and i'm not sure if that has anything to do with the new graphics card or if that is just a coincidence. I tried switching out the RAM to different slots, and even did a clean install with Windows 7 but i'm still getting blue screened at random points, sometimes i'll be able to get on and play World of Warcraft or whatever else for hours and be completely fine, and other times it will blue screen after just 5 minutes of surfing the web. I've also tried reinstalling the video drivers and motherboard drivers. I'm currently running Memtest on it and hopefully i'll see if it's a problem with the memory or not, but any other advice would be appreciated and if someone could point me in the right direction on how to do so, i can post the dump files if it blue screens again. Thanks!

Hardware

CPU: AMD Phenom II Black Edition
Motherboard: ASUS M4A87TD EVO
Video Card: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 600W
RAM: Sector 5 8GB DDR3 (2x4GB) (Manufacturer is Patriot)

Test this video card with OCCT
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...test-occt.html
Did you update to the latest drivers from Nvidia?
NVIDIA DRIVERS 275.33 WHQL

ColossalMenace · 28 Jul 2011

i'll let memtest finish it's pass with this stick then i'll run the card and check the drivers :)

ColossalMenace · 31 Jul 2011

So i downloaded that driver update you linked and it seemed to work for a while, but then the next day it started blue screening again, i've tried taking one RAM stick out and then the other and it blue screens with each of them in. I even tried putting my old video card back in the computer and about 5 minutes after loading into my desktop it blue screened again. Any ideas?

Did you run Memtest86+ with both RAM cards installed?
RAM - Test with Memtest86+

D/L CPUZ and post a snip of the CPU, Mainboard, Memory, and SPD tabs.

Have you been checking your temperatures?
Use Core Temp , to check the CPU temps when at idle, under load and/or testing.
Let us know the minimum and maximum temps you get.

Go to your BIOS and tell us what the CPU, RAM and the CPU integrated memory controller voltages are.

ColossalMenace · 01 Aug 2011

I attached all the snips you asked for, and one of the CPUZ window as well, i'm going to try and figure out how to get into the dump files and next time it crashes I'll post them so you can have a look. Thanks again!

Did you run memtest86+ for testing your RAM?
There is a link in my last post that goes to a tutorial that will explain everything.
Check it here: RAM - Test with Memtest86+

The CPUZ snips help, everything there looks good.
Still need the voltages from BIOS.
Go to your BIOS and tell us what the CPU, RAM and the CPU integrated memory controller voltages are.

With more than 4GB RAM you will need a memory controller voltage bump, once you verify the voltages we can make some adjustments to get it stable.

You can D/L your motherboard manual here: ASUS M4A87TD EVO

For the integrated memory controller voltage, called CPU/NB voltage, check page 2-11 and 2-15 in your manual.
Tell us the voltage reading listed in your BIOS.
Should be 1.150v.

To ensure minidumps are enabled:
Go to Start, in the Search Box type: 'sysdm.cpl' then press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.

Minidumps are now enabled to the specifications you posted and i went and found the voltages, they are;

CPU & NB Voltage Mode [Offset]

CPU Offset Voltages 1.404 [Auto]

CPU/NB Offset Voltage 1.175 [Auto]

P.S. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with anything thats going on, but after i changed everything and went to let it start up it gave me a black screen with "Bootmgr image is corrupt", I just hit the restart button and everything worked fine but just thought I should throw it out there.

ColossalMenace · 01 Aug 2011

Hey found the dump files, attached the last four of them to this post, thanks!

Dave76 · 02 Aug 2011

Can your post the rest of the information files as outlined here: Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions

This will give us additional information to work with.

Have you overclocked anything on your system?

Can you confirm that you tested your RAM with memtest86+?
This is important, your are having RAM faults, running the right test will tell us where the problem is from.

Also need your DRAM voltage, this is important as well, with 8GB ram you will need some adjustments, and I need to know where to start from.
BTW, voltages listed in CPUZ are not actual they are the recommended voltages, go to your BIOS and check under 'AI Tweaker' > DRAM Voltage.
If it only says 'Auto' then select 'Manual' and it should tell you a voltage.

If you don't have your motherboard manual, download it from my post above, you're going to need it.
After you tell me the DRAM voltage we are going to have to re-set some of the timings and adjust the voltages.
You can find this information on pages 2-11, 2-13 and 2-15 in your mobo manual.

Your last crash was STOP 0x0000001A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
Usual causes: Device driver, memory, kernel
This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.
