PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA from 8GB of RAM in x64 Windows XP

As you can see from my system specs, I am running XP Pro x64. 4GB of RAM ran just fine, but 3 weeks ago I tried putting 4GB more and I started getting the 0x50 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD. Everytime, disks.sys was noted as the faulty file in the Blue Screen message. I found the DebugWiz program on here, and I analyzed all my minidumps with it. Out of the 22 debug log files from my BSOD minidumps, 19 or 20 were always caused by the same file: wmiprvse.exe. I will be sure to post the most recent log that happened last night at the end of my message. Let me explain everything I have tried first in the past 3 weeks to help anyone reading this narrow down what can be done to possibly fix my issue.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

***I have not OC'ed anything at all, so that isn't an issue***

All the RAM is the exact same type, brand and model number, so that shouldn't be an issue. I have tried the newer 4GB of RAM by itself and that did not cause any problem. I have tested all the RAM slots on my motherboard, and they are all working. I have run memtest86+ multiple times and there were no errors. So I think it is safe to say that the RAM is not the issue.

I have verified my video card software is not the issue, since I have tried a 7600gt as well and I got the same BSOD. I have a SATA controller card, but even with that out I still got the BSOD. I updated my motherboard BIOS and drivers to the latest version, and the BSOD still occurred. I tried disconnecting a problematic hard drive, but still got the BSOD. I also uninstalled my AV program, but that didn't help either. I have tried almost everything at this point. I have reinstalled Windows about 5 times, and nothing worked.

I eventually was able to isolate something that triggered the BSOD, and this was my Realtek lan driver. Right after installing my motherboard drivers (the first thing after installing Windows) and restarting, I installed my lan drivers and got the BSOD. When I uninstalled it, my computer was stable with the 8GB of RAM. Knowing this, I purchased an Intel network card hoping this would solve my problem once and for all. It did, for almost 24 hours. I think after starting Steam my computer spit out the BSOD again.

This biggest problem with this was sometimes I got the BSOD right after Windows was done logging in and starting the programs up. Other times, like the one I just mentioned, it seemed like I had fixed the problem before I got the BSOD again. I would even be able to use the internet sometimes for a long period of time before the BSOD happened. It would appear that there is something wrong with the wmiprvse.exe file in Windows and having 8GB of RAM and possibly some other driver getting angry as well. Sometimes, there is both a SYSTEM one and a NETWORK SERVICE one in task manager. I am guessing the NETWORK SERVICE one is the culprit, but I do not know enough about that stuff to know for sure.

Sorry for being so long-winded with all this. It's just that I have already done so much troubleshooting on my own that I thought it would help anyone reading this to fix the problem easier if I told them what I did. I am completely defeated on this one for the time being. I reloaded Windows with only the 4GB of RAM until I find an answer to this issue. I don't mind running on 4GB of RAM, but it is the fact that my computer SHOULD be able to handle 8GB of RAM that worries me. Plus, I already bought it, so I would kind of like to use it and not let it collect dust in the package.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this long post. Below this is the latest debug log as I mentioned in the beginning. I have 21 others if they are needed. Just let me know.

I will run those scans after I get back from work today.

I have been running XP Pro x64 for a long time now, and this is the first major problem I have ever had with it. Do you think it is possible that even though it should be able to support 8GB of RAM that there is inherently something wrong with it that it gives me these issues? When I have 4GB of RAM present, I get no issues. It is only when 8GB is present that anything bad happens.

The only option that I would have for switching OS's would be to go back to x86 XP, but then I wouldn't be able to even use all of my 4GB of RAM so I won't be doing that.

Thanks for the reply. I will get back to you after I run those scans.

 

Alright, I got both of your recommendations done.

I ran chkdsk /f on all of my hdd's, and I ran sfc /scannow a few times just in case. No error messages popped up, nor were any problems found with any of the tests.

Even if x64 XP is only a stop-gap solution, it is the only option I have right now for an x64 OS. My main purpose for my computer is gaming, so Linux would not fit my needs so well. If Vista is a "better" x64 route, I don't want to purchase it now since Windows 7 could be here in 2010. Plus, I am one of those people who would like to avoid Vista if at all possible.

Do you think it is possible that the system files themselves are behaving funny when 8GB of RAM is present? That is the only other explanation I can think of right now. If you have any more input, then great. If not, that is fine too. I am willing to admit defeat on this one if that becomes my only remaining option.

Thanks a lot for your help so far by the way! The sfc tool is something I did not know existed, but it can definitely come in handy in the future. Also, I do have a lot more debug logs if you think those can help a bit.

 

I have verified that all the modules are the same and are definitely compatible with my motherboard. The only time my computer would crash is after I installed the software for my onboard lan. It also crashed after ditching the onboard and using a brand new Intel network card. After uninstalling the onboard lan originally, my computer would become stable again with the 8GB of RAM. Or at least it seemed stable. I installed a lot of other things after uninstalling the onboard lan and everything went fine. But, my computer did not always crash right away, so it may have been an illusion. The preceding is why I suspect something network-related. I also believe that whenever my computer didn't crash right away after start up, I was be doing something on the internet.

Either way, I swear it is Windows and the way the "network service" version of wmiprvse.exe is behaving. Thanks again for your help. Any other suggestions? Do I need to start making angry phonecalls to Microsoft?

 

I have never seen that in the settings anywhere. Plus, I have an Intel chipset, so it should not be there anyway. I don't have any firewalls active except for the hardware one built in to my router. Thank you for the suggestion though! The search continues...

 

Does anyone have any more advice on this one? Do you think this would be a good time to use Microsoft tech support and ask about this? Thanks in advance.

 

Anymore advice on this issue at all? If not, then no big deal. If no more help comes and I eventually figure this out, I will reply here saying so. But, I am pretty sure I can't solve this one on my own.

 

Does your motherboard supports 8 GB without poking around in BIOS ?

From the symptoms it seems that Windows is using some area reserved by BIOS. Look in BIOS if you have any option to switch this reservation off or on or even move the memory areas around.

 

That is definitely something I have not considered. I will check that out and reply back here with the results. Thanks!

 

I looked through all of the settings in my BIOS, and I never saw anything related to turning this memory reservation off or even moving it around. Is there any way to set something like this in Windows? Or, any other thoughts on this? I have little faith that using Microsoft tech support would help any unless I knew the exact problem that was happening. I could try Gigabyte tech support if no one has anymore suggestions.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions thus far! Keep them up if you can.

 

Just wanted to check one more time if anyone else had any suggestions before I see what Gigabyte and Microsoft have to say. Thanks!

 

I've just had similar issue where a gigabyte MB didnt work properly with 8gb RAM while 4GB is just fine. After googling the issue I found out the issue is that the gigabyte MB operates on 1.8v for ram while my OCZ Reaper needs at least 2.1v. So I simply changed the voltage in my MB bios and no more BSOD's. By now it's on 2.0 and everything finally works fine.

I know this thread is a year old but since I had the same issue just now, it might assist others who encounter this issue too.

 

I am finally following up that I was never able to find a solution to my problem. However, dreamie seems to have some excellent input in the previous post that could help many people in this situation.

Nothing I tried with my configuration fixed my problem. I verified this recently before upgrading to Windows 7. With Windows 7 I have no problems with more than 4GB of RAM. I completely skipped Vista like many people did, and I have to say Windows 7 is great so far. For anyone holding out with XP, Windows 7 does seem to be the right one to switch to.

Since I didn't change anything in my configuration, there must have been something weird with the Gigabyte drivers and XP Pro x64. Windows 7 installs motherboard drivers automatically for you too. So if you can't find drivers for your motherboard online, you should be ok.

Sorry if I sound like a spokesperson for the new OS, but it really is a fine piece of software. Until January 2010, students with a valid university email address can get Windows 7 for only $30!

So that is my followup on this mess I had ages ago. All of the things suggested in this thread are great methods for finding the source of your problem. If all else fails, upgrading to Windows 7 should definitely fix your problem once and for all.

Good luck to anyone still wrestling with this problem!


Iscabis

 

Well in my case I really tried everything and pretty much had your same symptoms and same error and trial results. I was this close installing windows 7 too but then I realized if it's a wrong voltage in the bios issue then a diff OS won't make it any better.

In the end I guess your cause of the issue was still different since I looked at your corsair requirements (if you still use the same one) and 1.8v-1.9v should be fine, unlike my OCZ Reaper that must be using at least 2.0v

 

Yeah, that is very true.

I am using the same Corsair RAM, and I messed with the voltages when I had the other RAM before switching. It seemed to help for awhile, but eventually failed in the end as a solution.

Regardless, using proper voltages is definitely very important.

 

Hah. It appears our issues were a like more then I thought. My voltage modifications also hold for a few days and then those annoying bsod's came back.. So I finally switched to win7 and now finally I'm crash free.

 

Hi Iscabis have you updated your motherboards BIOS out of interest?

Just out of interest what board are you running?

Can you list your system specs including PSU.

Thanks

Tom
