BSOD 0x50 page_fault_in_nonpaged_area
Hello Seven Forums,
I have recently upgraded my seven year old computer running XP to Windows 7. I realize that by year five, I should have just bought a new computer but my ignorance about upgrades has lead me here. Though my upgrade experience has thus far been better then expected, I have been dogged by an occurrence of a 0x50 BSOD that crops up once every other day.
Besides help with my upgrade, I added an additional fan to my chassis bringing the total to four fans (90mm side, 120mm, rear, 120mm front and AMD stock CPU fan). I have also beefed my power supply from Logisys PS480D (480W) to a Thermaltake TR2 (600W). This has helped cut down on the frequency of this crash as well as eliminating a 0x101 that I was getting just after the upgrade.
For this error, I have been running the Kernel Mini Dumps through WinDbg but it only states that it has been unable to identify the driver causing the trouble. I think my drivers have all been updated but maybe I am missing something.
I have done multiple malware/virus scans utilizing ESET Online Scanner, Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials. The results were clean.
I have run the suggested hardware tests. For my hard drive I have run chkdsk on more then one occasion and no errors were found. I have also run the Hitachi DFT32 hard drive test and no errors were found for that.
For RAM, I have run memtest86 on both sticks of my 4 gigs of ram collectively and separately on each stick for (8) passes on each test. No errors were found.
As far as my troubleshooting goes at this point, I am not sure what step to take next. I appreciate any assistance toward my way.
