Getting a blue screen every day... need help

Hello:

My computer is giving me a blues screen very often. The blue screen says a lot of things but I wrote down this:

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Stop: 0x00000050 (0xFFFFEFF8, 0X00000000, 0X8053434E, 0X00000000)

This error comes out for no reason at all. It comes out anytime while I'm using the computer. There is something weird and that is when I start my computer and the BIOS information comes out in the screen, it says that the CPU temperature is over 45°C. When the computer is up I start SiSoft Sandra and it says another temperature.

That?s the only strange thing going on my computer right now.

What can be making my computer to show that blue screen??..please, help on this?

Thanks
 
No, I'm using Windows XP...

This are my specs:

OS: Windows XP
Motherboard: Soyo SY-KT400 Dragon Ultra - Platinum Edition
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2100+
Memory: 512MB CMX-3200 CorsAir
 
CPU temperature never gets reported correctly with my Soyo P4X400 Dragon Ultra, except in the BIOS, which tends to be believable numbers.

Make sure you are not overclocking and your memory settings are correct.

On my Soyo board I have to run my 2700 ram at 2100 speeds otherwise it gets unstable. I have tried many different sticks and they all act the same. I think its just Soyo lack of quality causing my problems...

Set your computer to do a mini dump (rt-click my computer, properties/advanced/startup&shutdown/change it from full or kernel dump to MINI or SMALL dump; turn off or uncheck automatic reboot). If small/mini was already checked, send me the minidump files you have to mail address listed below...

When it happens again, send the mini dump file (zipped) that lives in c:\windows\minidump to bluescreens at comcast.net and I'll (try to) tell you why it's crashing.

Stop 50s are sometimes printer driver issues, but given that you don't talk about printing, that seems unlikely. If this were a print server / if this happened while printing I'd say check for WinNT4 printer drivers on the box.

It seems likely you have a bad driver on the system, but the minidump should tell me the problem. 🙂
 
This is the information in my BIOS

CPU TEMP.---------------48°C / 118°F
CHA TEMP.---------------35°C / 95°F
CPU TEMP on DIE--------63°C / 145°F

FAN SPEED---------------4,687 RPM

I'm assuming you sent me the filename called "mini072004-05.zip"; if not, disregard this.

Go there. Read the article, or at least briefly scan it. You have pool corruption, which can be caused by all kinds of things. To troubleshoot, do this:

Common use examples to create these two registry keys would be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\ Memory Management

Value Name: PoolTag
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x2A

Value Name: PoolTagOverruns
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 1

0 indicates that pool allocation underruns are detected for the tag. The allocation is located at the beginning of the page and the guard page precedes the page that contains the allocation.

Go into your registry (start/run/regedt32) and make these two changes. If you need a hand doing so let me know.

Please understand there is always some (however small) risk in modifying the registry; if you are uncomfortable doing this, I understand. However, to troubleshoot this issue, this is the suggested course of action, as this will give us a better idea (in the next memory dump file) of what the issue is.

After making the change, reboot, and then let the machine sit at the login screen a few minutes. If there are no problems, log in, and do your thing to make it crash. If it hangs prior to login, though, reboot into last known good configuration (F8 at startup, then choose last known good) and you'll be right back to where you were before (ie the changes you made here will be undone). After you do get it to crash, though, send me the memory dump file. Oh, and please send me this post's URL so I know who you are and what issue you're referring to.

This is WinXP, so before doing this, turn on restore points.
 
Hold up
Download a program called MemTest86. I have had this happen before in the past and always for me the culprit was a bad memory chip.

MemTest86 will setup a floppy that you boot from and it will automatically start running when you reboot with that floppy in. If you get any errors, then you need to begin the diagnosis of which memory chip (assuming you have more than one) is broken. So remove one, test again, if no errors, swap the chips and test again. If you still get no errors, you need to begin moving the chips to different memory slots. If you are at this point, you may have a bad memory slot (and yoru chips are okay). If none of these results in any errors, then it is something else and I am no longer any use to you 🙂

Good luck.

I tried to make the two registry entries but it won't let me write the letter X in the Data Value...

I can't write (0x2A) in the Data Value.... for some reason it won't let me write the letter X

Put "2a" in there.

The Base would be Hexadecimal right?
 
Yes. 0x whatever is pretty much standard notation to indicate that a value is in Hexadecimal. It's not part of the value itself.
