Solved BSOD 0x0007A kernel_inpage_err, 0x00F4 and operating system not found

[srinpraveen]

I live where the ambient temperature is around 35 degrees on an average. A laptop would have to be rugged enough to sustain uptil 40 degrees right? should be...

By the way, I just got 1 more bsod just now but thankfully before that, I got a "cute little" windows error message

saying
"The instructions at 0x755810D0 referenced memory at 0x758CC860. The required data was not in place into memory because of an I/O error status 0X........" It flashed for a few moments before the blue screen came up and restarted the system.

Thankfully I was able to take note of most part of the error message.

Does it throw some light somewhere? Like A ray of light at the end of the tunnel?

Sorry, no, it doesn't really...we need to get your dumps working...but I'm at wits end there...

 

[MvdB]

On second thought, after re-reading the whole thread, I see that you never posted the rest of the info we normally ask for, not only dumps but also logs etc. So please follow these instructions to the letter so we do get all the info we can out of your system?

Yes sure...I will upload all those (excluding the dump alone)...Thanks for alerting about that.

 

[srinpraveen]

I have uploaded all that is needed to be uploaded as per the bsod thread posting guidelines.

And here are some pointers.
1) The health status will mention that it did not detect any valid antivirus program. That's not true because I am using avira Antivirus free from the day I bought the laptop.
2) Also it will say that user access control is disabled. That's because I am the only person who uses the laptop that I am using currently and so I didn't see a need for user accounts. So I just have a single account with administrative rights.
3) I have posted my system details by making use of CPU-Z and also typing "systeminfo" in command prompt.
4) I have included another extra zip file that contains the system details and also the list of drivers in my computer.

And
Age of my hardware: 11 months (I bought the pc in the last week of August 2010)

So that about sums up the details and health status of my laptop so far. Hope these extra details may give you some clues.

By the way I googled a bit about the error "The instructions at 0x755810D0 referenced memory at 0x758CC860. The required data was not in place into memory because of an I/O error status 0X........"
Some people say it is a RAM issue and RAM needs to be removed and put back again but I am just not confident enough to dismantle any part of my laptop for fear of messing things up.

Thx for that, well done. I'll look at it as soon as I can, it is late here, problably tomorrow morning. We'll get to the bottom of this one way or the other....

Thnx buddy...And no problem at all...take your time...

As a test, please delete, or make sure you turn off the following applications:

Driver Reviver. (should not need that in W7 anyway...). It has caused crashes.
GOM.exe. De-install this media player. It too caused crashes.
Vaio Content Folder Watcher. It has a file (VCFw.exe) which also crashed. Please disable and make sure its files do not load on startup (if needed use msconfig to check,post if you need help on that.)

If these do not solve, next step is to look at your VMware stuff as some seem to cause problems also.

De-install or update the following:

deskpins    1.30.0.0    61.00 KB (62,464 bytes)    5/2/2004 10:32 PM    Elias Fotinis    c:\program files (x86)\deskpins\deskpins.exe

Sorry buddy was a bit busy..Checked ur reply just now..I will do these stuff and report back as early as I can

By the way, I have been forgetting to mention this while...The win 7 is just getting more and more bsod prone by the day.. And the only saving grace till date has been my wubi ubuntu which I dual boot along with win 7. Till date, it has not given me a single problem of bsods. It surprises me as to how ubuntu is bsod free and on the same laptop, win 7 gives bsods.

Why I am saying this at this juncture is because this might maybe throw some light on this issue. Because if RAm and hard disk are bad, then ubuntu is also not supposed to work right? So thats why I mention this now to maybe sort of give a different angle to tacking this issue.

 

[MvdB]

Yeah, you could be right... but 100% sure is only if we identify what it is. For example... some people never know they have a problem with their graphics card until the play the one game that really tests the card.
So the diff between ubuntu and w7 is probably that you don't stress it as much in ubuntu..
Again, you are probably right, chances are slim it is hardware...

Actually I don't have driver reviver any more. I am not sure why it showed up in the first place. Also I have uninstalled deskpins as I couldn't find an update for it. Also I have disabled Sony Vaio volume watcher from loading on startup.

And anything else I need to do? By the way, I had been using wubi ubuntu for the past 5 days. Its been working exceptionally well. I had been putting under extreme strain. I did not shut down my laptop for 3 days. Did all sorts of things. But still not a single bsod.

Also I installed my windows 7 dvd through wubi ubuntu using virtualbox. Its been working like a charm without bsods. I think there is some problem with this pre-installed windows 7 that came with the vaio.

Do you reckon I format this preinstalled win 7 home premium OS and then replace it with the Windows 7 dvd that I have? Would it work?

 

[MvdB]

It could. By now you seem to have proven it is probably a driver problem. As you saw in my earlier post...sometimes we think we clean things up if we de-install software... but, regretfully the de-installs don't always do their job well. In your case Driver Reviver is just one example.

The good thing about a clean install is that it is exactly that, clean. You then, in the future, need to make sure you have restore points you can go back to and only install new stuff (including third party driver/version updates ) one at a time so you can test if that new thing works....

 

[srinpraveen]

Alright. I noted your point. And by the way, a couple of hours back I got another bsod kernel_inpage_data_error even after deinstalling deskpins and doing all the other requisites mentioned. So I guess if I change this OS and replace it with the windows 7 pro dvd that I have, then things might be okay?

Can I go ahead then and install the win 7 pro dvd? And later I am kind of going to install ubuntu live cd as well and try to get to dual boot both the OS to live a peaceful life thereafter, hopefully free from bsods.

 

[MvdB]

Hope your wish to come true

 

[srinpraveen]

Cool I will go ahead change my OS and report back after a few days if my life is smooth.
