BSOD/Auto shut down whilst playing BF3

New error. Pen_list_corrupt 0x04e

New error. Pen_list_corrupt 0x04e

All of these errors refer to memory.

In the previous case

One possible cause of this bug check is depletion of nonpaged pool memory. If the nonpaged pool memory is completely depleted, this error can stop the system. However, during the indexing process, if the amount of available nonpaged pool memory is very low, another kernel-mode driver requiring nonpaged pool memory can also trigger this error.


In this case also it is page file related. DO you have a small page file or is it on a different HD than the OS?

 

[aussie1]

I have no idea what that means. Can you explain it to me?

It means the problem has something to do with page file. Try rebuilding it by setting it to zero then returning it to the same setting it is now

Latest minidump. Tried going back to AMD 12.1 drivers from the 12.2 beta driver after being told by someone it stopped them getting blue screens, this didn't work. I have tried SFC/Scannow 10 times, no errors. There was a corrupt driver called AODDriver4.0 which i have uninstalled having no effect. I have done everything but nothing has solved this problem. So frustrating!

Punkbuster caused a memory double fault. I would see if there is any update to it

 

[aussie1]

Do you think a complete reinstall would solve this problem? Because it is extremely frustrating

It is software related so it might but if you install the same software you will get the same result.

I have downloaded bluescreenview and it is telling me that the driver causing the issue is ntfs.sys. How can i update this file or replace it?

I am a big fan of Nir Sofer's work, BUT blueScreenView more often than not, doesn't point out the correct causes. Similarly Who crashed is even worse.

I prefer to use WinDbg (the Windows Debugging Tools) to read the memory dumps. It is the Gold standard for those of us that do this and often will give us the answer by itself. (we don't need the full jcgriff2 report each time).

BTW ntfs.sys is a core OS file you cant.

If it was RAM incompatibility, would memtest of picked it up? My mb is a Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H with 2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM

It may have.

Are you overclocking anything?

 

[aussie1]

Nah, no overclocks everything is at stock.

 

[aussie1]

Installed the old RAM and haven't had a problem yet....:shock:

There you go. Good luck

 

[aussie1]

Does that mean faulty RAM or incompatible?

 

[writhziden]

What kit do you have for the old RAM? That might give us a clue as to whether the new RAM is incompatible or not.

 

[aussie1]

The old RAM is Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2/4G

I'm having BF3 problems with my laptop too, except mine crashes and plays a sound loop where I have to manually power down. Did you ever encounter this?
