[SOLVED] BSOD after waking laptop up from sleep mode

[nooblet0]

I got a bsod error as soon as I woke up my laptop from sleep. After some quick googling I discovered that the general consensus was KERNAL_DATA_INPAGE_ERRORs were mostly a result of faulty memory or bad sectors on hard drives. My windows came pre installed on a SSD and I've kept it that way. I also use a external hard drive which was in use at the time of the crash but it has no system files.

I have done the following so far :
ran sfc /scannow and got no errors
ran windows memory diagnostics(2 passes), no errors

is this an Acer laptop? what model?

try running this on ssd - https://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/ssdmanager

open command prompt (admin)
type chkdsk c: /f and press enter
2 paragraphs will pop up, agree to run it at startuo
restart pc and let chkdsk run. it shouldn't take long on an ssd.

I will ask a friend to read dump files. He will reply later with a file I can use to read results.

Yes it is. Aspire A715-75G

try running this on ssd - https://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/ssdmanager

weirdly enough the ssd manager isn't able to detect the SSD it seems.

open command prompt (admin)
type chkdsk c: /f and press enter
2 paragraphs will pop up, agree to run it at startuo
restart pc and let chkdsk run. it shouldn't take long on an ssd.

did this and it showed a message stating the it was repairing the C: drive but I don't know where to look for the logs(assuming it generates any).

Cheers. Appreciate the help.

might be an older model
try running crystaldiskinfo on drive (blue buttons on website) - https://crystalmark.info/en/
will show SMART scores of the drives attached.

Possible support page: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/8336
There is a BIOS update available for your system. Wait for additional information before deciding to update or not. Important: Verify that I have linked to the correct motherboard. Updating your BIOS can be risky. Never try it when you might lose power (lightning storms, recent power outages, etc).

This information can be used by others to help you. Someone else will post with more information. Please wait for additional answers. Good luck.

processes leading to error
cpu accessed ram as it needed info
cpu couldn't find info in ram so went to page file
error occurred after that. It may have written it into CPU and then crashed.

checked ram
ran chkdsk... waiting to see how crystal disk info goes.
download this and check cpu - https://www.intel.com.au/content/www/au/en/support/articles/000005567/processors.html

2 BIOS updates, https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/8336

I wonder how they work on Acer.. seems you just run them in windows (you should only need the newest one) https://smallbusiness.chron.com/upgrade-bios-acer-laptop-48800.html

BIOS update could help.

waiting to see how crystal disk info goes.

Ok so I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to be doing here but this is what it shows on running the program. Is there a stress test option I'm missing.

Here's what I got on running the intel processor diagnostics.

You don't have to do anything, it just reads data from the drive. it doesn't run any tests.
it looks okay

I was just checking hardware as whatever driver might be cause isn't showing itself, so I thought better check hardware to see if it was that.

try removing intel Extreme Tuning Utility as that isn't needed I expect (you not overclocked I take it)
its so annoying acer don't have an auto update process for drivers. Most other makers have a app or a tool, acer... nope.
I might have to look through your drivers and compare to whats on their site.

anymore bsod? if you do, give us dumps. Driver might give me a clue soon.

yeah i'll go ahead and do that just to be sure

its so annoying acer don't have an auto update process for drivers. Most other makers have a app or a tool, acer... nope.

well they have a "care center" app which is supposed to handle system updates but i don't think it works lol.

anymore bsod? if you do, give us dumps. Driver might give me a clue soon.

nope; i did some pretty cpu,ram,gpu intensive tasks just to be sure
i'll update if it happens again

 

[nooblet0]

anymore bsod? if you do, give us dumps. Driver might give me a clue soon.

So got a BSOD again under the exact same circumstances but with a different error : UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION

https://mega.nz/file/hwYDGYDY#25gr33FvLFyeKbKR_jRI7JHx3rG3VY_nvB4R27rgork

first one since the one in January. tried to wake the laptop from Sleep and got BSOD. Haven't really had any issues since the BSOD in january.

 

[Colif]

The store in the error is used by the CPU to track the locations of files in virtual memory. Two physical locations they can be, Page file and ram

since it happened on waking from sleep, it could be the page file side of things

back to looking at the ssd again.

one thing we can try is to delete/recreate the page file.
go to settings/system/about
click advanced system settings
under Performance, click Settings
click advanced tab
under Virtual Memory, click change
untick Automatically manage paging file for all drives
click the choice for no paging file
click ok, and apply

restart PC
retrace all the steps again until you get to
Automatically manage paging file for all drives which you should tick again to let windows recreate the page file.

that might put it in a different spot on the ssd.

copies a post from elsewhere

Dec 09 2019

iaStorAC.sys

Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver

setup rst installs that or perhaps a newer one

you both had same driver

this is newest version - https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...ptane-memory-10th-and-11th-gen-platforms.html for your cpu

guess it makes sense, the rst driver is used for drive actions.

dunno. i'll wait and see if it fixes the other guy's issue(im assuming you got that from the other thread lol). for me, since i cant really replicate the issue for now and since it isnt really happening frequently enough, it will be impossible to say whether rst fixes anything.

i was wondering whether you had any additional insights from gardenmann's post

Probably caused by:hardware_disk (Process running at time of crash: MemCompression)

could this definitively indicate a harddisk problem.

 

[Satan-IR]

The dump_iaStorAC.sys and WdFilter.sys come up in 040322-12812-01.dmp too.

I think removing existing nvidia drivers with DDU and doing a clean install of nvidia drivers (check the Clean Install box) wouldn't hurt.

The WdFilter.sys is Windows Defender I think. Not sure if there's any known bugs with Defender causing BSODs, maybe colif came across something tripping Defender before.

I too think making Windows recreate the page file might help.

 

[Colif]

mem compression appears on so many BSOD reports that I just ignore it. I don't think it means memory problems.

defender doesn't normally cause BSOD. Most windows files don't. more likely to be a victim. if both processes mentioned in a crash are part of windows, it can make it difficult to work out actual cause. Its what I get with most crashes. Some are real head scratchers

dunno. i'll wait and see if it fixes the other guy's issue(im assuming you got that from the other thread lol). for me, since i cant really replicate the issue for now and since it isnt really happening frequently enough, it will be impossible to say whether rst fixes anything.

thats funny as it was your search that found it. RST - is used for raid and also to talk to ssd on some Intel systems. updating the file likely replaces some commands that may have been changed in 3 years.

I should have looked at a 2019 driver as old... what year is it again?


last crash happened after PC read information off the page file into virtual memory and processed it and then tried to access ram and fell over at this point. its blaming hardware disk but there is a driver between them.

starting to see double. your last BSOD is identical to the other guys last BSOD.
his crash here = your crash here
thats twice in one week I seen same crashes on 2 different PC. can make you question reality

I think what I am seeing is the same driver in both cases. Especially since you both got similar machines.

 

[Colif]

another thing I noticed, your BIOS isn't reporting correctly,
its not telling the dump what BIOS you have. The same applies for the other guy.

so the question is, which one do you have now - https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/8336
search windows for System Information app
in the right hand column, next to BIOS Version/Date... what is it showing?

 

[nooblet0]

in the right hand column, next to BIOS Version/Date... what is it showing?

BIOS Version/Date Insyde Corp. V1.10, 23-11-2020

 

[Colif]

latest version is 2.06
you only 2 behind.

BIOS update could help. It might be a miscommunication between newer software and older firmware.

You can wait and see if the other fix works first
