Solved BSOD Playing Guild Wars 2 - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 0x00000050

[musolamb]

Hi last week I installed a new video (which may be the problem but I don't think so), and since then I have had 2 bsod. Not sure if I should be worried about this yet, but I am gonna try my luck on this forum.

The most recent bod was a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 0x00000050

The one a couple of days earlier was a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 0x0000003b

i have attached the latest DM Log file

My machine is an AMD FX-6200 & Gigabyte GA-970-D3
The graphics card is a Gigabyte GTX 660

Hope I have included the correct information.

Thanks

   Warning

Before changing drivers, make it sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there is no points, make a System Restore Point Manually.

Can you roll back the driver using Device Manager.

• Go to Start
• Type Device Manager
• Then expand your Display Adapaters
• Click on your graphics card
• then under the drivers tab click Roll Back Driver

I suggest running a stress test on your GPU.


Stress test your graphics card with Furmark

I recommend running it for around 30 minutes

   Warning

Furmark will increase the temperature of your GPU rapidly so keep and eye on your temperatures

Thanks for your advice Thedoctor44.

I couldn't roll back the driver in the manner you suggested because the rollback button was shaded out.
I am currently running the furmark burn-in test as suggested on the current drivers.

 

[musolamb]

Ok ran test for 40 minutes, no problems that I could tell.

 

[Thedoctor44]

Can you remove the display drivers completely and roll back to 314.22.

Make sure you only install the display drivers and Physx.

314.22 is the latest stable release for Nvidia drivers that are not known to cause issues on their own.

 

[musolamb]

Ok, done all of that as per the instructions found at:
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/327414-nvidia-drivers-avoid-problems.html?filter[2]=Hardware%20and%20Drivers

Running now 314.22. Will see how things go.

 

[musolamb]

No more bsod for a couple of wekks now. I will mark this as resolved.

I have just recently had the machine completely freeze. Had to hard restart. Will start another thread.

Thanks for the help

Don't bother starting a new thread.
Try this.

Enable driver verifier but only enable the options: Standard settings and IRP logging step 3.
Don't enable Force Pending I/O Requests

Enable Driver Verifier to monitor the drivers.
Driver Verifier -Enable and Disable
Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

Why Driver Verifier:
It puts a stress on the drivers, and so it makes the unstable drivers crash. Hopefully the driver that crashes is recorded in the memory dump.

How Can we know that DV is enabled:
It will make the system bit of slow, laggy.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make sure that you have earlier System restore points made in your computer. You can check it easily by using CCleaner looking at Tools > System Restore.

If there are no points, make a System Restore Point Manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode too, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.
