Windows 7 Seemingly Random Pagefault_in_nonpaged_area

[Synthius980]

I have been having a string of issues with my new build, that quite frankly, is driving me up a wall. Most have been hashed out, but this page fault issue is nearing the end of my patience, I appreciate any help whatsoever in advance!

For starters my build:
CPU : Intel Core I7 980x, stock 3.3ghz
Memory : Kingston tri-channel 6 gigs
HD : Western Digital SiliconEdge 128gig SATA SSD
GPU : EVGA Nvidia Geforce GTX 470
Display 1 : LG W2753V 27" LCD
Display 2 : Samsung 2233 120 hz LCD
Sound : Creative Soundblasteer Fatalty X-fi
MISC : Nvidia 3d vision

Now a description of the situation:
Whenever I boot up my computer it posts, makes it threw windows intial load, but right before the desktop can load I get the 0x50 stop, and a page_fault_in_nonpaged_area.
No driver or system files are listed on the BSOD. After dumping my memory, i reboot to the same results, this process continues until magically the computer boots (no real rhyme or reason to number of times) and runs quite nicely. It runs smoothly, no hangs or anything of that nature, and I can leave it on the desktop for quite some time at idle with no problems. Occasionally after an extended idle time, (I'd say several hours+) I will return, wake the computer up, and find myself frozen on the desktop requiring a hard reboot.
As long as I am actively using the computer in low intensity situations, it purs like a kitten. In high intensity situations, problems seem to arise; Certain games seem to trigger the pagefault BSOD almost instantly, while others seem content to run for hours.
IE: I can play WoW, or Fallen Earth for hours on end, even while streaming netflix on my second display with absolutely no problems. Half life 2?, usually no problems. Battlefield bad company 2 however will cause the pagefault BSOD consistantly in any time ranging from a few seconds to 10 - 15 minutes. Dead Rising 2, same dilemma. I should note too, that when a pagefault does occur, i am reduced to the cyclic loop of page faults on desktop loadup, until finally obliges me.

I forgot to mention, this issue has been occuring for some time, I original used the ASUS P6TD Deluxe motherboard, and 12 GB of Corsair Dominator RAM in tri-channel, both of which I have replaced due to the same error. I thought at first I had a bad channel, then bad ram due to a few errors on memtest. I now find it extremely unlikely that i have two faulty motherboards due to channels, or 2 batches of bad ram.

I have attached both the dumps and the info from the utility. Thank you kindly for any help, and if I can be of help, let me know!

Hi Synthius980 and Welcome to the Forum,

I'm no expert in these matters but just the fact that I've replied will "bump" your thread back up so it drops under an experts nose!!

A couple of old drivers that you need to update (it won't hurt anyway!)

RTKVHD64.sys Fri Apr 30 10:05:58 2010 REALTEK HD AUDIO

Rt64win7.sys Sat Dec 19 09:11:30 2009 REALTEK LAN RTL8111

RimSerial_AMD64.sys Mon Nov 24 17:01:01 2008 is quite old but I don't know if there is an update. Link Removed - Invalid URL

I'll stick me neck out here and say it looks like your timings are out, but I'm not sure. Wait for someone who is!!

And whilst you are waiting, a little light reading for you!

 

[Synthius980]

Thank you for the information Elmer, the link is quite helpful in learning more about my predicament. In regards to the 'timing' are you referring to my RAM settings? I'm willing to try anything to at least get the system somewhat stable.

 

[Elmer]

In regards to the 'timing' are you referring to my RAM settings?

Yeah the "clockings" in the CPU-Z screenshots. But I'm learning about the minidumps at the moment, without trying to get my head around RAM timings as well!!

 

[Synthius980]

Do you know where i might be able to find more information regarding the RAM timings and what i might have incorrectly set up?

 

[Elmer]

I honestly don't. I know people are advised to set default bios settings as overclocking doesn't help matters when you are blue screening. I'm only saying your timings look off because I've not seen "11"s before. But then it's DDR3. Just wish I could help you more. I'm sure someone will be along shortly. Probably all worn out after the first day back at work after the long weekend!! Well, in the UK at least.

 

[Synthius980]

Well, after a bit of research, I've discovered the proper settings for my Kingston HyperX timings, which are listed as 9-9-9-27, I went into BIOS and prompted adjusted, but it seems im still getting BSOD's during start up, but like before ive managed to get it running after several reboots. I am added the adjusted CPU-Z pictures, and hoping someone might be able to make the connection im missing here.

 

[Trouble]

If you can actually determine your Kingston part number, you may be able to use this link to help Link Removed due to 404 Error
Here is a link to Tom's hardware which involves a review of a machine that they were evidently testing that uses your specific memory as described in the CPU-z screen shot that you provided The Cyberpower Gamer Dragon : Cyberpower
As Elmer has said already, typically you can select a default setting in the BIOS, something like
Load Optimized Defaults or
Load Performance Defaults
or just double check the memory settings and make sure they are all set to auto for the time being.
Also make sure that you haven't installed sometype of OverClocking software that comes with some MoBo's and haven't running at startup because generally that will undo any previously established setting you've already done in the BIOS.
Can't find any timings related to Kingston memory that suggests timings of 11 11 11 29 but if we had the actual part number off the side of the stick itself we might be able to help further.
Also it looks like the BIOS is set to use XMP, you may want to look for that setting in the BIOS and experiment by switch it off and see if that helps.
Keep us posted on how you're getting along.
Randy

 

[Synthius980]

My ram part number is KHX1600C9D3K3/6GX, I have changed the timings to 9-9-9-27, as referanced Link Removed due to 404 Error

I have also attempted the bios setting in both XMP and standard clocking. No change either way. I honestly not sure if there is any overclocking set-up on my mobo, i believe the only thing close is turbo mode, which i have shut off. I'm not too familar with the Phoenix awardBIOS, so i may be missing something. I can't find any problems anywhere with this build, so im cursing the gods of technology right go.

Hello and Welcome to W7F !

There are few thing I would like to point out. First uninstall Avast Internet Security until we complete the troubleshooting.

1. Download aswClear5.exe on your desktop
2. Start Windows in Safe Mode
3. Open (execute) the uninstall utility
4. If you installed avast! in a different folder than the default, browse for it. (Note: Be careful! The content of any folder you choose will be deleted!)
5. Click REMOVE
6. Restart your computer

Then remove all the devices connected to USB because found a Device which doesn't have any drivers installed

Unknown Device    USB\VID_0000&PID_0000\5&2D41F132&0&3    43

If you couldn't find it then Go to Start | under search type in Device Manager | Look for Yellow exclamation mark and Click on Update drivers.

Start | CMD and Right Click and Run as administrator | SFC /SCANNOW

Report us back with the results. if that didn't work we can Enable the Driver Verifier.

[Elmer]

See!! I said an expert would be along!!

 

[Synthius980]

-Captain,

First of all, thank you kindly for the assistance. It's difficult to pinpoint this BSOD and its really been causing quite a few headaches. Now on to business!

I have gotten rid of Avast, and run the system scan.
"Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations" was the result I recieved.

Now as for the USB dilemma.. Im a little confused, the only yellow flag (Malfunctioning) Device I can locate on my device manager, is for my Saitek Flight Control System, for which I have the drivers installed. Said device is listed as 'Root Enumerator' of which there are two, the other one does not have a yellow flag. I do not believe this to be the problem however, because these BSOD's were occuring before I even purchased the flight control system, and did not worsen upon installation, until several months later.

Whats this about the driver verifier and are there any other steps I can take to troubleshoot things gremlin?

Much Obliged once again.

 

[cybercore]

In the bios, load 'optimized defaults' (or to that effect) to auto-adjust the settings. Most likely 9-9-9-24.

 

[Synthius980]

I dont see any Optimized Defaults option in the bios, but my current timing settings are taken off the kingston website, and are 9-9-9-27.
Maybe im missing, im running Phoenix980 AwardBIOS

 

[cybercore]

If you're sure it's supposed to be that way let it be. I reckon recent Kingstons 9-9-9-24 1.5v. But again, if you know your RAM for sure then let it be that way.

"Optimized defaults" or "Crash Proof" or something with that meaning will almost always set RAM right.

RAM set wrong will often result in blue screen crashes.

 

[Synthius980]

I've confirmed the ram is indeed 9-9-9-27, (Link Removed due to 404 Error) (pn KHX1600C9D3K3/6GX), sadly I still cant find an optimized settings button or anything of that nature, and when set to auto the Bios wants to set it to 11-11-11-27.. weird

I'll continue trudging through the infuriating troubleshooting, but im admittantly quite lost.

Enable Driver Verifier Using Driver Verifier to identify issues with Drivers - Windows 7 Forums

 

[Synthius980]

Driver Verifier enabled..

restart causes steady BSOD for first several boots. Not an 0x50 stop however, now a 0xC9. with the message,
"The IO manager has detected a violation by a driver that is being verified. the faultry driver that is being erified must be debugged and replaced with working version.

Will attempt to safe mode and return to booting order.. the BSOD does not referrance the exact driver? should i simply begin a process of elimination by only enabling a few drivers at a time in the verifier?

 

[Synthius980]

Update: Also recieving occasion 0X0A IRQL_Not_less_than_Or_Equal, with verifier enabled, no driver mentioned
