windows 7 - How do I resolve BSOD: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA?


I have been troubleshooting this for a few days and cannot fix this.


Computer specifications:




  • mobo: ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard




  • CPU:** Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 (Bloomfield) @ 2.67 ( no OC )




  • RAM: 6144MB RAM




  • GPU: 2x NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 1Go in SLI (sli is not enabled at the moment anyway)




  • Drives:




    • OCZ RevoDrive OCZSSDPX-1RVD0120 PCI-E x4 120GB PCI Express MLC Internal SSD [RAID-0].
      (I know this could potentially cause trouble, but I had the BSOD before using this drive.)




    • Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - bare drive






Click here for a log of a crash I just had.


Click here for a log of a crash I had 30 minutes later, note that it's another driver.


It seems to be occurring randomly so far. I haven't noticed any kind of pattern.


I tried:



  • Windows memory diagnostic (went smoothly at 1066mhz)

  • As I said, it was still happening on my HDD, so when I bought the revodrive I installed a new OS on there and still got the error. I believed it happened and I had no drivers installed at that point (not 100% sure)


  • Changed the following registry value to 1 (true):


    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager
        \MemoryManagement\ClearPageFileAtShutdown

  • Tried to lower the RAM clock even more.

  • Made sure the RAM timing was set to the value that was recommended by the manufacturer.

  • Verified if the motherboard was in good physical condition (yes and it's brand new).


There is one thing to note, when I got the new motherboard, I installed the new drivers WITHOUT formatting and the I removed the motherboard drivers that I could remove from the control panel (pretty much the first things that have been installed). Could this cause an issue even on the other drive (revodrive)?


I'm getting tired of this, spending so much money and cannot get this to work correctly.

Sounds like a bad memory subsystem to me (probably RAM modules). If you're getting dumps for varying processes, and you've tried multiple drives and re-installing, then it's probably not drives or a Windows setting.


If you don't have other RAM sticks to swap in for testing:



  1. Ensure you have the latest BIOS for the motherboard. (Asus Support) - Currently the latest version is 0802, released Jan 17, 2011.


If that doesn't help...



  1. Go get Memtest86+ and run it for 3 days straight. We do a minimum 72-hour burn-in on all new systems, and have caught plenty of bad RAM in the 3rd day.


It may be a faulty motherboard, but 90% of the time it's the RAM. Unfortunately unless you have replacement parts to swap in and try, it could take a while to find the cause.

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y...
