[SOLVED] Blinitializelibrary failed 0xc00000bb and Dual channel memory running on single channel

[jjgeddis]

Recently I have been getting the Blinitializelibrary failed 0xc00000bb error sporadically when booting up. Now I noticed that the system will only run in single channel memory mode instead of dual channel. This build is only 3 years old and has never encountered a problem until now. It seems that flashing the BIOS helps for a while, but the error returns eventually. I am wondering if this may be a sign of the BIOS failing?

System Specs:
GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD5 R5
AMD FX-8370
American Megatrends Inc. F4b
2x8GB G Skill F3-1866C9-8GXM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I worked this problem out. The Blinitializelibrary failed 0xc00000bb error was caused by the BIOS forgetting that my SSD was the primary drive. Every time I got this error, I would check the boot order of my drives and sure enough the SSD wasn't listed as the first bootable drive.

As for the memory problem, I found this registry tweak works very well. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management. Click ClearPageFileAtShutdown and set the value to 1. Click ClearPageFileAtShutdown again and set the value to 2. Click ClearPageFileAtShutdown a third time and set the value back to 0. Shut down the system (do not reboot, must be a full shutdown). Power the system back up and dual channel was enabled. All 16GB is now listed as available. Hope this info helps others who may encounter similar problems.
