Q: BSODs Memory Management, Edit of a critical system file, etc

Windows 7 x64 Professional

Hardware less than 2 months.

OS re installed after MS updates failures.

perfmon named failure.

A: BSODs Memory Management, Edit of a critical system file, etc

Hi.
In this order,

Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
You may need to run it 2-3 times to "fix" everything.

Run RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Let it run until at least 9 passes are completed, or errors are found (whichever comes first). The longer you run it, the better.

Finish with the above steps and post back with results\news.

Several months I received different BSODs. I think it started when I added another 4 GB of rams.
I attached the file with logs like in tutorial. (The Windows tests shows that Rams have no problem)
Windows reinstalling with clean GPU driver it did not work.
I have Windows 8.1 but the BSODs show on any version of windows.
Thank you!

When I first built the computer I put 2x 2 gig sticks of RAM. I got constant bluescreens. I belive they were due to memory allocation errors. After RMAing both the RAM and the Mobo and then buying a 2nd set of RAM I eventually took the advice of taking one of the 2 gig sticks out. That seemed to work for the last few months. Now I'm getting bluescreens that either give "memory management" or "irql less..." messages. There has been no hardware change, only recent software change was addition of SC2 which ran fine for two weeks. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

A:BSODs memory management and IRQ...

Hi,

For some reason the collection application did not pick up any BSOD minidumps (it does this occasionally). Can you check C:\Windows\Minidump and upload anything you find there.

If there is nothing there and you have definitely got bluescreens then can you check the settings mentioned in this post to see if your system is set up correctly to collect dump files when it Blue Screens.

Given history of RAM problems your Motherboard's Memory controller is a suspect here.

Run a memtest, and if you still get errors then RMA your Motherboard.

Quote:

Memtest - Instructions:

Download the ISO (or the .exe for USB drives) from here http://www.memtest.org/#downiso

Then (if you have chosen the ISO) burn the ISO using IsoRecorder: ISO Recorder v3 Download (How to use IsoRecorder)

Boot from the CD/USB and run the test (at least 7 passes per test) with only one stick of RAM in place at a time.

It is a time consuming process but it is the only way to be sure it isn't a RAM fault.

For your final test, run the test with all the RAM in place.

Hello again.

I've recently been getting random BSOD's again even after formatting and re-installing my operating system last week.

The latest BSOD error I've caught was Memory_Management. I've attached all files and minidumps. Have gotten around 10 BSODs and screen freezes within a week.

-Retail Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (fresh re-install last week)
-New Video Card HD6850 (think I installed correct drivers)

Hello there cxw22,

It appears Kaspersky may be causing your problems.

Kaspersky is a frequent cause of BSOD's.
Suggest you remove and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials AT LEAST TO TEST.

I have reinstalled my operating system over the last couple of days to try to correct some BSOD and other problems, but I have had two more BSODs today. The last was during shutdown following Windows updates (the first was during a Windows update as well, but I didn't see it happen).
I have changed the memory sticks (in between the BSODs) back to the originals supplied with the PC. I have run MemTest86+ a couple of times, but no errors were found. My antivirus is Kasperksy Internet Security 2012.

I've had several BSODs over the past week. I've reinstalled windows twice and created restore points to see if I could revert back to previous stable points but once I use one restore the rest disappear so I can't incrementally back up to see where it all goes wrong. Since the last Windows reinstall I let it run, play games, etc at each upgrade point to see where it goes unstable. I manage to get all the drivers upgraded, download all the windows updates, and even play Borderlands for several hours with no issues, all with restarts between each step but once I turn off the computer overnight things degrade.

The next time I boot up the computer is when the BSODs start. It starts with MEMORY MANAGEMENT problems and as I try and roll back drivers, tinker in safe mode, it pops up with others such as IRQL LESS OR EQUAL and a few others. As such I have 10+ minidump logs. Do you guys want all of them or just the most recent one?

Hi,

For the past month I've been having an absolute nightmare in regards to Bluescreens on a new build.
Originally I thought that a faulty stick of ram (Failed Memtest) was the problem but even after replacing the stick I'm still plagued with BSODs whenever the computer attempts anything to taxing.
(It seems fine for reasonably small programs like Firefox but it's almost guareenteed to crash with anything that stresses the system, like a game of Prime95)

Would it be possible for someone to take a quick look at the minidumps?
I've got over 35 Minidumps but have attached only the first and most recent dumps to cut down the filesize. (The majority of the dumps point towards NTOSKRNL.EXE. I'm not sure what this file is but it seems to be behind the majority of the crashes)

Hi, I have not installed any new hardware nor made any (as I can recall) significant changes software-wise. Nevertheless the last couple days my work at the computer has been interrupted by various BSODs. I have looked around on the internet for a fix for my problems but have not encounterd anything that helped me. Any help is greatly apreciated!

Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.
Click on the Start button
Type ?msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.

Hello. Beginning from Saturday while playing with crashes and freezes I might have fixed my driver problems, but upon booting up my PC the next day, I was receiving constant Memory_Management BSOD errors every 20 minutes to 1 hour when trying to play Fallout 4 for example. I quite don't know what the issue is because I have another problem to solve.

When I came back from work today just a hour ago, I also received the same BSOD when I logged in, but later it just worked fine and proceeded to desktop. Weird.

Oh, and here's the rar file I was supposed to upload when reading through posting instructions.

A:Constant Memory Management BSODs on Windows 10 Pro

Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window

Hi,

I'm having problems with pretty much any game randomly quiting to desktop (mainly XCOM as thats what I'm playing atm) recently seems to have gotten worse then shortly afterwards a couple of times bluscreens as mentioned above, (Page fault in nonpaged area or Memory Management), the BSODs occured while browsing using firefox, iirc.

After reading this forum for other peoples similar faults I have done the tests below:-

Run SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker
Run RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Both come back clear, I ran memtest for about 28 hours it completed 8 or 9 passes, no problems found....
I know, I know, you still think its memory!!!
Any suggestions where to go from here - put each memstick in individually and rerun memtest?
(it originally had 4x4GB and i removed 1 stick for suspect bad ram, but it was some time back and i cant remember the exact circumstances now)

I've also ran Furmark to overheat the GFX, I dont think theres a problem there, (especially as it runs XCOM without breaking a sweat,) while Furmark was running i can hear the fan kick up a gear and I let the temp go up to about 100degC, no problems.

While the games run they run without problems, until they suddenly quit to desktop.

Any help would be appreciated, I have attached SF dump

Thanks

A:BSODs - Pagefaultinnonpagedarea - Memory Management, while browsing

Troopy, the problem I am having is your files list several dump files (which is mostly what we use to debug) but, they are all from 12/2013-1/2014 none of them are recent. Yes, all of the error messages you say you have do sound like memory. But, if you ram memtest86+ for 8 Passes and passed, I see no reason to run it again, at this point.

If you are overclocking anything, set everything back do default level, at least until you get this resolved. If you don't already have it, please download and install CPUz (CPU-Z CPUID - System & hardware benchmark, monitoring, reporting ) Do you have a CPU and a GPU temp monitoring program? Also, do you have a GPU utility that will allow you to see an on screen display while gaming and also allow you to set a custom fan profile? Never let your GPU get to 100C again. Also, please download GPUz (GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility) and post screenshots of the GPUz main page and the sensors tab also post screenshots of CPUz CPU, Mainboard, Memory and SPD tabs. Also are all of your ram modules the same, did they come as a kit?

Hi

I have been having excessive CPU usage on my acer M laptop this is often followed with a BSODs with various codes and messages. error reports (whocrashed) such as these were given:

"This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x14F1A0)

I'm not sure which is the root cause of these problems to try and start troubleshooting! bsods often occur shortly after laptop is switched on - once it restarts or is shutdown and restarted its usually fine for a good few hours.

A:Memory Management BSODs--can't pinpoint the problem program

Hello jdhunter418 and welcome to Sevenforums.

BSOD Analyse

Memtest86+

Looking at your bugcheck it's likely that a memory corruption event was triggered. Though a driver could be causing the memory to be borked, but we're usually suggesting a memory test before moving forward. Do a scan with Memtest86+. Memtest is a scanner that'll check your sticks for errors.

Warning
Note that the below instructions may break your WARRANTY rules. If you're unsure check manuals, separated warranty papers, stickers on computer for secure permission.

To ensure that we'll know if it's the slots on the motherboard that's broken, or the sticks itself - we have a little procedure we'll recommend. Remove 1 stick, scan the other with Memtest in the current slot. After 7 passes, move the stick to another slot and scan, and so on and so forth until you've scanned all the sticks, and all the slots, one by one.

I've had this computer for almost a year now and it's been bluescreening on and off since day 1. The most common errors seem to be (in no particular order) Memory Management, IRQL Not Less Or Equal, and Kernel Security Check Failure. Occasionally, the blue screen will be replaced by a solid red screen with no text, but the computer still restarts as normal. I've attached the report from the SF Debug Tool. Thanks in advance for your help.

A:BSODs from Memory Management, IRQL Not <=, Kernel Security

Normally I only run the most recent memory dumps, breaking them off at a point where there was a lull in them.
In this case, as you've reported them from day 1, I've run all 50 of them.

The reports aren't complete. Please rerun the data collection app and let it run for at least 15 minutes (or until the app itself says that it's done). Then zip it up and upload it with your next post. FYI - I'm looking for the MSINFO32.nfo report and the systeminfo.txt report

Out of 50 memory dumps there were 14 different BSOD error codes. The differing error codes are usually symptomatic of a lower level problem within the system. They are usually caused by one of these things:
- borked (broken) hardware (several different procedures used to isolate the problem device)
- BIOS issues (check for updates at the motherboard manufacturer's website)
- overclocking/overheating - You'll know if you're overclocking or not. If uncertain we can suggest things to check.
- compatibility issues (3rd party hardware/drivers) - and older systems
- low-level driver problems
- or even malware (scanned for when we ask for hardware diagnostics from Initial Hardware Diagnostics or Hardware Diagnostics ).

You can get a head start on the hardware diagnostics if you'd like - they are located here: Hardware Diagnostics

Hello friends. I have been having an issue with BSODs for some months now, they were usually infrequent enough that I just ignored them thinking "I'll fix it eventually", and they have steadily grown in frequency (I've had 4 in the last 24 hours, but sometimes I can go for a couple of days working fine).

I have also been having a problem where I will be using chrome and the page will suddenly flip to the chrome error message stating something went wrong. I have created a new user as their troubleshooting guide says and it still happens, sometimes it will happen 3 or 4 times within a few minutes and other times I can be browsing fine for hours. I can't consistently replicate this, it has happened on everything (facebook, youtube, reddit and so on).

I ran a malwarebytes scan on full and that came back clean

I only replaced the ram in early August, but all the errors seem to be pointing to that as the culprit. I'm hoping someone here can help me =[

According to Carrona.org, STOP 0x0000004E: PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
Usual causes: Device driver, ?memory

So , let us search for any driver which is causing the problem or not. In such a situation, it is better to 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.

Also, the the memory modules needs to be tested.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Run it for at least eight passes, preferably overnight.

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

Hi everybody. I've tried to figure out this problem on my own, however i'm hitting a lot of walls. This is my first post, hopefully i posted everything correctly.

Here are my Specs:
1. Intel I7 950 3.07ghz
2. Asus X58 Sabertooth Motherboard
3. GSKILL 6gb RAM 1600; F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ (Did modify the BIOS to run at manufacturer's suggested RAM timings, performance seemed to improve and BSODs seemed to decrease but it could just be in my head.)
4. Nvidia GTX 570 EVGA
5. HD: 1 240gb Kingston, 1 60gb Crucial C300, 1 1TB Seagate. (I recently did a fresh install with the Kingston, however the problems i've mentioned were present well before the new HD)
6. PSU Corsair TX750W
7. All other bios settings other than RAM are at stock settings.
8. OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
9. Antivirus: Microsoft Security Essentials

Types of BSODs
1. PFN List Corrupt
2. Kernal Mode Exception
3. Memory Management
4. NTFS File System
5. System Service Exception

All of these BSOD's tend gravitate around the ntoskrnl.exe, ntfs.sys, and sometimes the win32ksys. I haven't been able to find a consistent pattern as to when they occur, it seems pretty random to me. However, I do notice that youtube and flash based applications seem to crash a lot more than they should.

Things I have done:
1. Ran Memtest for many passes (don't remember how many but it was over 24 hours)
2. Ran Chckdisk
3. Ran sfc /scannow
4. Updated Video and Audio drivers and everything i could find on the A... Read more

So, for a long time now, probably going on over a year, I've been wrestling with my computer. I should get a new one, and just start from zero, but I can't afford that right now, so I'm hoping that I may be able to get some help here.

Essentially, my computer crashes a lot, sometimes randomly and sometimes with noticeable patterns. It's sometimes a BSOD (usually Memory Management, sometimes Page Fault, and I got a Driver IRQL a long time ago), and sometimes it's just a flat hang with a stuttering sound repeating until I do a hard reset.

Something I've noticed lately is it crashes more often when I have flash player up for some reason or another, but especially for streaming videos. There's also been a couple of times where first firefox and/or the flash plugin will crash, then the PC will run for a bit, but if I try to bring firefox back up it will hang or BSOD. I've gotten crashes for other reasons, though.

In addition, sometimes when I start the PC up, it won't post, saying a BIOS checksum failed and that it can't detect a keyboard. That's usually solved by restarting it once or twice more.

I've had other various errors in the past, but that's the majority of it, and what's been happening recently.

The following is the steps I've taken so far:
1. Run Memtest86+, overnight and for hours at a time, no errors.
2. Run various hard drive checking utilities, no errors.
3. Run chkdsk on both hard drives, I've gotten the occasional bad sector but hasn't changed crashes afte... Read more

I recently built a full computer for the first time and ive been having some random crashes and bsod's. this happens most often when playing games or multitasking. the most frequent is the memory management, mixed with pfn list corrupt, and bad pool header. the program that crashes most frequently is battlefield 3, happens a few times a night at least. shockwave has also been crashing while using chrome.

windows has prompted me several times to do a memory check, which i have, but it says no memory problems found. i burned a disk to check the ram and let it run for about an hour and it found nothing wrong. i did a clean install of windows 7 and made sure my drivers were up to date. same problems happening. if there's any more information i can give just let me know. thanks

any help would really be appreciated!

I'm having ALOT of problems right now...
Most annoying and disrupting problem are the random BSOD's. I downloaded Whocrashed and alot of crashes seem to be "memory management" . Sometimes it's 3rd party programs..

The BSOD lasts for 1/2 a second and computer immediately reboots so it's hard for me to say what it was about. I checked in event viewer the different errors but i'm at 1000+ error/warnings.

At one point, as i was downloading Leagues of Legends ( game ) and Crysis 2 from Origins, while my uTorrent was actively downloading and Firefox was opened, i got an error from uTorrent saying "windows ran out of memory".

What do I do. My computer keeps randomly crashing and i've been looking online for solutions, it's just too complicated for me to find anything related to my problems.

The BSODS often occur on a reboot of the computer after installing/uninstalling a program. Right after entering my user password , 2 seconds into loading desktop, it immediately crashes. Not always but i've noticed it happens often.

now i'm getting problems with applications. Its crashes after crashes after crashes.

I have origin installed for Crysis 2 and BF3.

Crysis 2 and BF3 though are a very big problem. Both applications crash non-stop. i can't even play for one second. BF3 has a browser launcher, when i try to launch a game, before even opening it says " Battlefield 3 has stopped working ". In the Event Viewer, it seems to give me something ... Read more

A:Random BSODS (mostly "memory management"), often on startup

Your crash dumps are not showing any finite probable cause. In such a situation, it is better to 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, ans 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 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 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.

Hi,

Built me a new PC a couple of months ago with the general specs below;
OS; Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Motherboard; Asus P8Z77-V Pro
CPU; Intel Core i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz
Memory; 2x 8GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 PC12800/1600MHz CL11
Graphics card; Asus GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II
Hard drives; 2 SSDs, 1 INTEL 60GB for the OS and another INTEL 160GB for other applications

I've been getting randomly occuring BSODs however, always with the cause "Memory Management". As for the timings of the BSODs, I've failed to discern any pattern. As far as I know, I've updated all drivers to the latest version.

I would appreciate any help and/or pointers as to the root of the problem. Packed SF Diag Tool attached.

Thanks,

I got another call from my Dad today. After cleaning his computer completely last month with help from BleepingComputer.com there is another problem so I went to check it out. I can't believe it.

Now on startup a fake system scan runs with many warning of I/O errors and critical hard drive problems. It tries to take you to file-recovery-system.com to buy something. Obviously it is a virus/hijack. I searched on the web for fixes and was able to use RKill.exe to at least stop the process and the warnings. I tried to install MBAM but the install failed twice, I get a permission denied warning. I tried to install after restarting in safe mode, but had the same access denied at the end of the install.

Computer is Windows 7. I am posting from my clean computer since the browser redirects on his computer make it almost impossible.

Been getting these bluescreen for ages, I thought it was due to overheat in the CPU so I changed the paste and everything, it seemed to be working fine but it started to happen again, most of the times it happens when I'm playing the game League of Legends.

Here's the .rar file as instructed, I appreciate your help greatly.

EDIT: Another detail I remembered is sometimes when I turn the pc off, when I go power it up, it will power up but won't boot, when it boots it sends me to the press F1 or F2 to load default settings. Then it works fine for like 2-3 days if I don't turn it off and just keep restarting

Are there any tools that would allow even the viewing of registry files that are not the currently active ones? The situation is that sometime over the past few months some change has occured that causes my system to refuse to recognize any locally installed printer. More accurately, it may or may not recognize the printer is there, but in no case will it actually print anything to it. The same printer, connected via USB, has its scanning function recognized and it scans happily. Because I know I have a Ghost backup of the system in a state where it was recognizing the printer, I'd like to explore that file to see if I can find what's different and hence effect a repair. I do not want to restore the entire registry because there have been too many other, unrelated changes that I do not want to lose. So I'd like a registry editor that isn't blind to everything except the currently active registry. Am I explaining this sensibly?

I am crashing a few times a day and have been trying to write down some of the stop messages or .sys files that are causing the BS's. Some of the .sys files causing the crash are 'win32k.sys' and 'usbstor.sys'. I can get more info later when I get home from work. I would post the system dump file, but my computer is not creating one. I checked the options in Startup and Recovery, and the option to 'Write an event to the system log' is checked, and 'Write debugging information' is set to 'Kernel memory dump'. I read somewhere that I should try changing that to 'Complete memory dump', but the option is not available. Also the dump file location is set to '%SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP'.

I built this computer back at the end of January-all new parts. Within the first month I received BSODs consisting of Page Fault in Nonpaged Area, and Memory Management (happened twice) and did the Windows Memory Diagnostic and Memtest 86+ and found that I had issues with my Memory. After swapping out my memory each time with new, I would go about 2 weeks and then I would get more BSODs. The types of BSODs that I am getting are: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION SYSTEM_THREAD-EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED MEMORY_MANAGEMENT PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA PFN_LIST_CORRUPT The most recent system service exception was when I was booting up windows last night. They all seem to happen at random times. I could be browsing the internet or I could step away and come back to find that an error occurred. To try to debug the Memory Management and Page Fault BSODs, since with my researching I found that a common reason for this is bad memory, I once again ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and found no Hardware errors and I let Memtest 86+ run for 34 hours and found no errors. If anyone has insight as to why these may be happening, I would greatly appreciate it. A:Several BSODs in last month-System Service Exception, Memory Mgmt, etc These crashes were caused by memory corruption/exception (Cx05) probably a driver. Please run these two tests to verify your memory and find which driver is causing the problem.I understand you have done memtest already so start with verifier. * If you are overclocking anything reset to default before running these tests. In other words STOP!!! * If you have a Raid update its Driver. Memtest. Quote: *Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool *Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5-7 passes. Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot. Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots. Any errors are indicative of a memory problem. If a known good stick fails in a motherboard slot it is probably the slot.

Background Late last year we created a Member’s Portal on a client's website enabling its Members to have a secure area for a discussion forum and crucially, secure document storage and access. Basically, it was supposed to be like Dropbox or Google Drive but within the Portal. The problem is multi-fold. It isn’t intuitive and isn’t like Dropbox and has various flaws which make it unpopular with most members. It is free software called kcfinder – see http://kcfinder.sunhater.com/ The main website is a WordPress one and the secure Members-only Portal was created using the WP-Client plugin. The kcfinder file management system when embedded inside the Portal looks not unlike Windows Explorer, with its tree-like structure. Members are busy senior executives and don’t want to have to manually log in to the portal. They were each provided with a unique login link that they retain to log in and the smart ones adjust their browser settings so that they don’t even have to find the login link. Specific problems with the existing kcfinder file management system Criticisms are: - It’s slow. - It is not possible to open a file online and view it and edit it online – you have to download it, view it, edit it, and then re-upload it. - You can’t drag and drop files and folders as you can in Dropbox online or Google Drive online. - The client office manager can’t send a link to members taking them to a fo...

I noticed you have Afterburner or similar overclocking tool installed. I would uninstall that (also because driver is 2011) for now until this is all figured out, to get rid of the driver and also to ensure it doesn't have a setting applied at boot to overclock. For good measure, use CPU-Z to compare SPD tab to Memory tab. See if your memory is set well as it should be with regard to timings and frequency. This driver might be a little suspicious as a possible culprit, based on the fact that I've never seen it before and there is little information: Code: 1: kd> lmvm INETMON start end module name fffff80003c70000 fffff80003c7b000 INETMON (deferred) Image path: \??\C:\WINDOWS\System32\Drivers\INETMON.sys Image name: INETMON.sys Timestamp: Wed Mar 13 17:11:58 2013 (5140EB9E) CheckSum: 00014318 ImageSize: 0000B000 Translations: 0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4 Perhaps look into removing the software that owns it. 10 more replies Answer Match 53.34% Hi, I'm trying to debug my sister's laptop which was running great until recently.

Some background first (which may or may not be relevant): - Turned on my PC a couple of weeks ago and it said it was installing new hardware, thought that was weird but let it pass. It was the IDE drivers by the way. - Turned on PC Friday morning and there was no internet connectivity, there was some error message about a Windows service not starting or something. So I restarted the computer and before it even gets to the Windows is starting screen, a BSOD flashes up and then immediately reboots. Same happens booting into safe mode. Enable boot log doesn't work as I guess it doesn't even reach the point where a log would start. Last known good config doesn't work. So, I have tried installing a new copy of Win 7 on another hard drive and that was fine until setup finishes and then it restarts (as it should). It ended up just as a black screen with a cursor though; I left it about 45mins and it did nothing so I restarted but no luck that time, same thing happened. I tried booting into safe mode on the new installation and it looked good at first (preparing to start windows for the first time message) but then an error came up saying that it couldn't finalize installation in safe mode and restarts.

Last week, I was unable to start the system because it would BSOD while booting up or after the boot up was completed (within a few minutes). Luckily, I had a full system image backup from December 24th, 2014. I recovered the system via the backed up image (Acronis) and so far the system had been working as expected. This evening after I got back home, I realized my system had BSODed again (after maybe 2 days of continual use without any BSODs). Thankfully, a dump file was created and here I am hoping to resolve the issue. I have a dual boot system with Linux Mint on an SSD (and a couple of other Linux distros running inside VMs). When Windows was not functional, I used Linux for almost a week or so without any issues. So I'm not sure if it's a memory issue or a hard drive issue. I've had the system for a little over a year now. i7 3770k 16.0 GB 3 Hard drives installed: WD 3 TB - All media and current backups C:\ - 1 TB Segate 7200 RPM HD (Windows 7) 128 GB SSD - Linux & other distros.

I'm having a problem with my computer and I was wondering if anyone can help me. Recently my computer has been having this recurring problem. It will be working fine one minute, then suddenly slow down and struggle the next. According to task manager something is eating up the page file during these times. It goes up from 0.2 to 1.10 gigs in no time, almost a straight vertical line, then after a while back down to 0.2 again just as abruptly. These intervals of high usage don't coincide with anything I'm actually doing - they seem to occur arbitrarily, even when I'm not running anything at all. In fact nothing listed under Processes appears to come close to even a fraction of this pagefile usage - the biggest one was 20 mb, and added together the processes wouldn't have cracked 50 megs of memory (I know memory is different from virtual memory or the pagefile, though, so this could be irrelevant). http://www.phlegthon.com/test/pagefileproblem.gif Above is a screengrab of this occurence. It isn't entirely accurate to the normal problem because windows increased my page file during a virus scan due to low memory, but should give the general idea. Most of the minor fluctuations can be explained with the programs I was opening/closing at the time. For example, I was running a virus scan early on, and later, then opened outlook, and so on.

What can i do ?

Modify ? boot ini but in some website some rumour say in system property in tab general

PAE IS on....

Its a default feature of windows that alway on

Physical Address Extension - PAE Memory and Windows

The PAE kernel can be enabled automatically without the /PAE switch present in the boot entry if the system has DEP enabled (/NOEXECUTE switch is present) or the system processor supports hardware-enforced DEP. Presence of the /NOEXECUTE switch on a system with a processor that supports hardware-enforced DEP implies the /PAE switch. If the system processor is capable of hardware-enforced DEP and the /NOEXECUTE switch is not present in the boot entry, Windows assumes /NOEXECUTE=optin by default and enables PAE mode. For more information, see the topic "Boot Options in a Boot.ini File" in the Windows DDK.
DEP DATA EXECUTION PREVENTION

I can do that !

With Q9550

64-bit has the address space for 4GB - install it if you want. PAE is just a poor hack.

Hi,
I'm using a Lenovo laptop R60e with 2Gb of RAM and Intel Core DUo T2300 CPU.

When I boot my computer, the PF usage stands (in the task manager) on about 1Gb.
During routine work with IDE and browsers and several insignificant tools, the PF usage often rises over 2Gb.
As a rule of a thumb, when the size of the PF usage passes the amount of memory installed in a PC, the performance degrades severely, since instead of using the RAM, the OS starts grinding the hard drive.
Consequently, the machine is subject to freezes up to 50 seconds long.
The PC can (officially) support up to 3Gb of RAM, and the CPU is no 64 bit capable.
What would be the best course of action to handle the problem?

A:Memory management

This is from my 7-1/2 year old Gateway desktop with an Intel Pentium IV 2.0 GHz processor and 2 GB of DDR PC2700 RAM .

I checked my PF Usage. It's at 410 MB with one IE window open and at 433 MB with two IE windows open. My antivirus program(AVG 9) is the only program in my startup list that auto-loads.

Without seeing a HijackThis log, I'm guessing your computer has multiple programs auto-loading, and there may be one or more of them that are system-hungry.

Hi,
When I bought my PC, the person who made it allocated 2GB of my 8GB of RAM to my GPU. Today, I've got a new GTX670, this has its own 4GB of GDDR5 RAM. Now, I get a 'Memory management error. I've tried running some command lines in the boot CMD (I get BSOD after 10s) with no luck. I believe it was called src /SCANNOW. This did nothing. I've tried running the memory diagnosis, nothing. It doesn't crash in safe mode.

A:Memory Management

A setting of that nature can only be made from within the BIOS I would expect. Boot to the BIOS using F2 or Del normally and reset to defaults as will clear the shared mamory to the GPU. To reset its normally F9 then go to Yes. To save is normally F10 and again go to Yes.

Hi,
Can anyone out there write me a batch file or exe file which will also change permissions in the Windows registry?

What I am trying to do is to block social networking sites - Facebook, Twitter etc.
I normally do this by editing the windows hosts file by looping back all known sites to the local machine.
I then change the permissions to read for all users including admins.
Next I change the file to read only & hide it.
I would like this batch/exe to be easy to change as other social networking sites etc appear.
I would also like this batch/exe to work across Windows platforms XP Vista & 7
If there was a problem with the location of Windows then assume the operating system is installed on C:
Can this be done? or am I asking the impossible. (or is there an easier way of doing this)

Thanks for any help

I have Windows 7 Home Premium, 32bit laptop.

So this started with my accidentally deleting the 'My Documents'. At the time of deleting, i think it showed, My Documents is too large for recycle bin. That's why i can't find it there.

(I have tried 'Recuva' to recover deleted files, but 'cause i'm not much of a computer literate, i didn't know what files to retrieve and what to leave. Though, from the files i did bring back, most are corrupted, overwritten or something.)

Also, after My Documents got deleted, under 'C:\Users', a padlock has appeared on my '(User Name) Folder' - but 'Public Folder' is fine.
As i clicked 'User Name' properties, the 'Share With' showed - 'Nobody'. {other options available were 'Homegroup(read), Homegroup (read\write) and Specific People'}. Shouldn't it be showing - 'Advance sharing' ?

Thus, i thought maybe restoring 'User Name' folder to its previous version would work. When i did that, it said - not enough memory. i tried again, 'cause i knew there was more than half of its total capacity available. {I regularly keep a check on it.}

But after repeating the restoring process, i again got 'Not Enough Memory'. Later, when i opened the C:\Drive it really showed that suddenly the drive was low on space- very, very low. i tried 'disk clean' and deleted most of the things from there. Then i opened C:\Drive to check. Instead of making more space, i saw 3.62 GB of Free Space lessen to 2.72 G.B ! However, i still tried for the forth time... Read more

Search using Everything or Windows Search for "Documents" and if it finds it try using this tutorial to restore it's default location:
How To Move My Documents Folder To A Different Drive

It does not require another drive, just chose another location.

First run an SFC Scan

I've experienced 3 or 4 BSOD's in the past two weeks. I have attached the required file.

I have not seen a pattern in my activity that might be related.

I wrote "Memory Management" in the subject line because that was what I saw at the top of the BSOD.
I did not notice if that was present during the previous BSOD's.

Thanks so much for your help.

A:BSOD - Memory Management?

Hello, Jeff1961. I will try to help you with this. I looked at your last 5 dump files, 4 of them gave this

Code:
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (1a)

Hi,

I'm running a fairly new system and haven't experienced any problems with it whatsoever until recently. The first blue screen was yesterday (8/08/2012), and since then they have started to become a lot more frequent. The repeated error is MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. Help with this would be greatly appreciated :)

A:BSOD: Memory Management

Hello and welcome to TSF!

All of the attached dumps aside from 1 are of the 1A: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, but memory corruption is also mentioned as well.

It could be a driver, or physical memory itself is the issue. Two things to do here.

First, enable Driver Verifier to see if a 3rd party driver is corrupting memory -

Driver Verifier:

Quote:

What is Driver Verifier?

Driver Verifier is included in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 to promote stability and reliability; you can use this tool to troubleshoot driver issues. Windows kernel-mode components can cause system corruption or system failures as a result of an improperly written driver, such as an earlier version of a Windows Driver Model (WDM) driver.

Essentially, if there's a 3rd party driver believed to be at issue, enabling Driver Verifier will help flush out the rogue driver by flagging it and causing your system to BSOD.

Before enabling Driver Verifier, it is recommended to create a System Restore Point:

Vista - START | type rstrui - create a restore point

Windows 7 - START | type create | select "Create a Restore Point"

How to enable Driver Verifier:

Start > type "verifier" without the quotes > Select the following options -

1. Select - "Create custom settings (for code developers)"

2. Select - "Select individual sett... Read more

I know that there are a lot of thread about the memory management BSOD but I haven't come across anything that has been useful for my problem.

Basically, my computer BSOD normally about once a day, today it BSOD 4 times, but usually it's not more than once. The problem it gives me is 'memory management' although sometimes I have found it reports to me "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" (please bear in mind I have no idea what this actually means!) Although, as I said, it's usually a 'memory management' problem.

I have also found that this BSOD never happens when I'm running a program. E.g. when playing games that I would expect to use a lot of memory/processor etc it has NEVER BSOD, but, like I said, it BSOD at least once a day usually when it's just sitting on the desktop and I'm not doing anything (or i'm just typing a document/on internet forums etc)

So far:

I have reseated my memory and video card and checked for overheating.
As far as i can tell there are no errors but if anybody knows of any software I could use to check this it would be helpful.

Instead of me posting a lot of information about my computer/the problem, as I know little about the actual running of a computer I figured it would be best if you could tell me what information you need (and how to get it) and then I will provide you with it because otherwise I think you'll just be sifting through information that you don't need.

*Bumped* because I really need assistance with this! Thanks
EDIT: Plus: I had another blue screen today: this time saying "APC_INDEX_MISMATCH" any ideas?

Been getting this weird bluescreen just in the last few days, I don't think it's ram because I've ran memtest and 0 errors

hi there
I've been getting BSOD the past few days. I did the memtest and everything went fine.
so I used whocrashed program and it gave me this

On Thu 8/16/2012 7:56:18 PM GMT your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntkrnlmp.exe (nt!KeBugCheckEx+0x0)
Bugcheck code: 0x1A (0x31, 0xFFFFFA8007EDDBD0, 0xFFFFF88009BE8000, 0xFFFFF8A0111B7E0A)
Error: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
Bug check description: This indicates that a severe memory management error occurred.
This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver which cannot be identified at this time.

can anyone elaborate what it means?

my specs:
intel corei5 2500k
xfx 5850 crossfired
asrock z68 extreme 3
corsair vengeance 1600

I've attached my minidump as well.
thanks!

as wikipedia said BSOD usually relates to hardware problems and shouldnt really be ignored, so i decided to bother you guys again. *sorry*

i have attached the mini dump file. any insight to what has happened and how to fix this problem is much appreciated =)

Regards.

A:Memory Management BSOD

MSINFO32 reports:
20 STOP 0x124
8 STOP 0x1A

This is most likely a hardware problem, although it can be a compatibility issue, a Windows problem, or a corrupted driver (the last one isn't agreed upon by all analysts).

Garena is known to have some issues with some Win7 systems. Please uninstall it until we're finished troubleshooting.

You have the infamous 2005 version of ASACPI.sys installed. This is a known BSOD cause and you must update it at the Asus Support website ( http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us )

Locate the downloads for your system/mobo and 64 bit Win7. You are looking for the ATK0110 ACPI Utility driver. It's either under the Utility section or the ATK section.

I suggest starting all troubleshooting with the following diagnostic tests. They'll save you a lot of time and heartache if there is a hardware failure, and you'll have the disks on hand in case you need them in the future:

H/W Diagnostics:
Please start by running these bootable hardware diagnostics:

Also, please run one of these free, independent online malware scans to ensure that your current protection hasn't been compromised: http://www.carrona.org/malware.html (read the details at the link)

A:Memory Management BSOD

The memory dump blames Norton. Please do this:

Anti-Virus Removal:
- uninstall the Norton from your system (you can reinstall it, if so desired, when we're done troubleshooting)
- remove any remnants of Norton using this free tool: http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_...080710133834EN
- IMMEDIATELY install and update the free antivirus, then check to ensure that the Windows Firewall is turned on.
- check to see if this fixes the BSOD's
NOTE: NEVER run more than 1 anti-virus, firewall, Internet Security/Security Center application at the same time.

If the above steps don't stop the BSOD's, please zip up and upload any new memory dumps with your next post - and we'll see what we can figure out from there.

The following info is just FYI, I've already addressed the issues that I saw in the above paragraphs

Hi,

I tried to install windows xp on to a computer. It initially installed however after reboot ready for the setup process i got a windows blue error screen. It said that the cause of the eroor was "memory management". Does this mean there is somehting wrong with the memory. I have two sticks of ram. One of them was a bit dogey before but the other one seems fine. I tried the one which was ok on it's own but it happened again. In my friends computer it seems to work fine.

What is wrong?

Kind Regards
