KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR 0x7a while playing certain games, no dumps cr

[Dakotaa]

I've had this problem since last summer. It's been on and off, very wierd. I will get a KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR 0x7a while playing certain games (Games like Rust, CS:GO, GTA V) other games (Minecraft, Garry's Mod) are fine and have never caused it. Since last summer, it happens randomly. For a couple days to a week it will bluescreen 1-5 times a day while playing certain games, at other times I got weeks without getting a BSoD.

When it happens, there's two ways it can crash. It will either just crash out of nowhere and go straight to the BSoD. Other times, everything on my computer will freeze up. The game I'm playing freezes and I can still hear sounds from TeamSpeak but everything is unresponsive.

It is not creating dump files, so Bluescreen helping programs do not to any help.

Thanks to anyone who provides help.

There are no dump files in your logs to analyse, follow the steps below to check whether Windows is et to record Small Memory Dumps.

1. Open Advanced System Settings
2. Click on Settings in Startup & Recovery
3. Make sure both boxes indicated below are checked
4. In the dropdown box ensure you're set to record Small Memory Dumps

I've had it set to that. It never creates dumps.

Try these steps:

1. Set the paging file on C: to be the same size as the physically installed RAM:
Virtual Memory Paging File - Change

2. Set the Windows Error Reporting service to MANUAL:

3. Test to see that dump files are created:
- Open Windows Task Manager
- Navigate to the Processes tab
- Right-click on explorer.exe, and click Create Dump File

- Note the location of the saved file

- Check that location and confirm that explorer.dmp exists

Yep, that created a 238MB dmp file.

Can you check after your next BSOD whether a dump file has been created.

Can you check after your next BSOD whether a dump file has been created.

Just bluescreened for the first time since last Sunday. No dump created.

 

[Dakotaa]

I got a new SSD which I installed CS:GO on (one of the main games I bluescreen on) and it still happened.

 

[Boozad]

Can you check to see if a dump file has been created.

 

[Dakotaa]

Still no. It's supposed to be in the minidumps folder, right?

 

[Boozad]

If you're set to record Small Memory Dumps yes.

 

[Dakotaa]

I have it set to that, its still not creating them

 

[Boozad]

Can you download the .bat file included in this post, run it and upload the resulting text please.

DebugFilePath=%SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP

For Minidumps that path is wrong. Check your settings for Small Memory Dumps again and check the save file location as per the instruction in post #2.

%systemroot%\minidumps

 

[Dakotaa]

I don't know why it said that, my small dump directory was %systemroot%\minidump like in your first reply, I've tried setting it to %systemroo%\minidumps, bluescreened again today and still no dump.

 

[Dakotaa]

Would installing my OS onto my SSD possibly fix this?

 

[Dakotaa]

I think I might have found why it was not creating dumps, Windows Error Detecting servies was set to manual and not on.

 

[Boozad]

Good find, let us know how it goes.

 

[Dakotaa]

bluescreened again, still no dump. Here's a picture of the bluescreen, hopefully you can get something out of it.
