another BSOD, but only 1 so far: 052114-9001-0 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
- uninstall and then clean install of latest nVidia driver (335.23)
- uninstall and then reinstall latest version:
- Silverlight
- Flash Player
- Firefox
- BSOD while watching Netflix in Firefox (after ~30 min, after reboot was able to watch the rest)
Report attached as usual and link to full memory dump (052114-9001-0) to Thedoctor44
P.S. ran FurMark 1.13 (15 min Benchmark) without any problem
The dump file you linked to on your google drive is way too large.
A Complete Memory Dump is massive.
I can try and download it but it'll take a while.
EDIT: The dump file was corrupt.
Bad RAM can cause this.
In the meantime I suggest memtest86.
Memtest86 will test your RAM
Information
Run Memtest86 for at least 8 passes so we get enough information to confirm that your RAM isn't failing
Can you also change your dump file setting to Kernel Memory Dump.
Follow these instructions.
Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD
True... the full dump weighs in @ 8 GB and have been zipping down to 1 - 2 GB
No problem, changed to Kernel Memory Dump
I'll start the memtest now. 8+ passes is going to take awhile. Let you know tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
Ran memtest for 30 hrs, 13½ passes completed without any errors.
I thought I should post an update.
Short version: it was the RAM.
Interesting note (might be handy since a lot of G.Skill DDR3 and AMD CPUs are bought by enthusiasts):
- I stumbled on a sticky at the G.Skill forum addressing the problem experienced if you have 1600 MHz DDR3 with AMD Phenom II CPUs.
- Have to set the timings and DRAM Voltage manually and most of the time boost the CPU-NB voltage by +0.10V
- This is due to the Phenom II CPUs internally be designed to support up to 1333 MHz DDR3; auto settings tend to result in slight system instability.
Here's the link: AMD CPU + G.Skill DDR3-1600 - G.SKILL TECH FORUM
Long story short:
- Following the advice of G.Skill tech support resulted in much less frequent BSODs (again varying stop codes.)
- BUT about 2 weeks ago, my machine wouldn't boot.
- Tried 1 stick at a time and found that 1 would boot and the other wouldn't.
- Bought a used Micron 4GB 1600 MHz stick and it booted right up and has been running totally stable for 2 full weeks (~ 120-150 hrs) at 1600 MHz with its specified timings set manually
Thanks again for all your help Thedoctor44; currently have sent in a RMA request to G.Skill
