BSOD while downloading Crysis 3

Hi nevica,

you are posting on different threads for same issue:
BSOD playing BF3
you should really stick to one thread as it can
get a tad confusing. :)

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except,
it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.

STOP 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Usual causes: Defective hardware (particularly memory - but not just RAM), Faulty system service, Antivirus, Device driver, NTFS corruption, BIOS.

The analysis is inconclusive to a point.

Run Driver Verifier to scan for any corrupted drivers which may be causing problems, this program works by running various stress tests on drivers, in order to produce a BSOD which will locate the driver; run for least 24 hours:
Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Uninstall Total PC health from your system, as it will most likely do more harm than good, as Windows 7
does not require it.

Run SFC to check the integrity of all Windows 7 system files:
Click on the Start > Type in search cmd
Right click cmd at top and Run as Administrator
Type SFC /scannow at the prompt (note the space between SFC and /scannow)
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

Run memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.

Ensure you have all the latest Windows Updates installed.

Post back any results / observations
Cheers

CBS.log is a file which is permanently locked by the system - so there's very little you can do with it directly.
The best way to deal with it is to copy the file to your desktop using Windows Explorer (or the command COPY C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log %userprofile%\desktop\CBS.log ) and then you can open it in a decent text viewer.

Notepad tends to get confused (and confusing) with files the size that the log can got to, so I recommend using Notepad++ (Google it) if you want to actually see what's in it - but it's hard going!

If you right-click on the copy, you can now select 'Send to..' > 'Compressed File' for uploading/attaching to your reply.

There are a number of problems in the SFC scan

They all relate to the basic NVidia drivers supplied with Windows 7 - and may have been erroneously removed by one of the NVidia driver updates.

It's too late to do anything tonight - I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

Yes they do - about half the size of a Win7 installation consists of basic drivers for hardware - everything from the CPU to GPS add-ons and beyond.
If they didn't, then the hardware wouldn't function, and you'd have to work blind until the proper drivers were installed.
In many cases it's the simplest possible driver - just enough to get the hardware minimally functional (which in the case of Display drivers can mean getting a 800x640 display only).
If I remember right, someone once said that Win7 contains more driver sets than all previous versions of Windows combined.



I've uploaded a file - nvcaa.zip - to my SkyDrive at Noel's SkyDrive
Please download and save it.
Right-click on the saved file and select Extract all...
Change the target to C:\ and click on Extract
Close all windows (it would be a good idea to print these instructions!)
Now reboot to the Repair Environment - as soon as the machine restarts, start tapping F8 - this should bring up the Advanced Boot Menu, at the top of which should be the option 'Repair my Computer'
Pick that
You'll have to log in with your username and password.
Pick the option to use a Command Prompt
At the prompt type
DIR C:\nvcaa
hit the enter key - if you get a 'Not Found' error try
DIR D:\nvcaa
or
DIR E:\nvcaa

The drive letter in use when you find the folder will need to be substituted (for<drive>) into the following command...

XCOPY <drive>:\nvcaa <drive>:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h

(e.g.XCOPY P:\wfire P:\windows\winsxs /y /i /s /v /h )

run the command (it should take almost no time)and when the prompt returns, type
EXIT
and hit the Enter key to exit Command Prompt - reboot to Normal Mode Windows.
Now run SFC /SCANNOW in an Elevated Command Prompt
then reboot and upload the new CBS.log file to your SkyDrive Public folder, and post a new link
Also run a new MGADiag report, and post the result.
