BSOD 0x50 page_fault_in_nonpaged_area

Sheldon Addy · 31 Oct 2014

Arc had originally suggested to do a clean install to find the most appropriate driver for the built in LAN card. My current installation of Windows 7 was based on a clean install and the driver that Windows supplied was a year older (2008) then the one that was available on the Realtek website which was 2009. Both were way out of date so Arc suggested my next move was to buy a new LAN card which I have done. And I have updated the drivers for the new card as well.

Besides that I have deleted the driver from the old card(RTnic64.sys) and disabled the LAN. When I check the location of where that driver was (c:/windows/system32/drivers), it isn't there anymore.

Hi Sheldon Addy.

The current BSOD is display failure related, apparently. And the display driver that is installed is not a very good driver version released by nvidia. It is old, too.

Code:

fffff880`02f1ba78  fffff880`0f0fdf8eUnable to load image \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\nvlddmkm.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for nvlddmkm.sys

Uninstall the installed display driver using Display Driver Uninstaller.

Then download and install 340.52 WHQL.

Follow NVIDIA Drivers - Avoid Problems to have a perfect and clean driver installation.

Does it change anything there? Let us know.

I uninstalled the driver using Display Driver Uninstaller. I then downloaded 340.52 WHQL. As it went through the installer dialog window, it was hit with compatibility issues: "Nvidia installer cannot continue - this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware.

Sorry, I should have been careful. I missed your graphics card's model number. 307.83 WHQL was the last supported driver for your card 7300 GS; which you have installed there.

Frankly speaking, the age of the system makes the possibility of troubleshooting reduced. Display usually fails with old drivers.

What about getting a new card that is bare bones? The motherboard is supporting PCIe-1.0x16 and this card is PCIe-2.0x16. I checked the drivers for it on Nvidia and the latest date was October 22, 2014. The card has a lot of good reviews too. PNY Technologies VCGGT610XPB - Best Buy

PCIeX16 ports can hold both the 1.0 and 2.0 cards. If you want to try a new card, you can get any of them. All the PCIeX16 cards are good, so the GT 610 is. :)

Will do.

Do you also think that it is insulting, Colin?

My next action in this thread will depend on your reply.
