bsod fix please HELP

[Dankdab]

ive done so many fixes, i have done all the fixes on this page here, https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-fix-a-blue-screen-of-death-2624518

I have tried replacing the ram, hard drive and ssd I don;t know what else to do. Please help. the bsod is "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area" or "critical process died" or winsys32fail please read through that link, to show everything I've done.

Its strange that you are getting 3 different BSOD error codes.

Before you attempt to troubleshoot further, you need to back up all of your important files to a USB drive or External Drive. This can save you from crying later.

Its possible you have some corruption in the software on your computer.
This can be a result of failing hardware or corrupt, missing, or incorrect drivers; or something causing one or the other.

Try running up to date Antivirus scans in addition to running malwarebytes antimalware. If your sure you don't have an infection, resetting the operating system without deleting your personal files could help.

You can also check your Hard Drives SMART status to make sure its not failing.

I've already completely wiped both drives so its too late for backing up data. also i wouldnt care anyways all i do on the thing is game. and the bsod error codes change all the time. seemingly random. the hdd wouldn't be failing because i took out both my hdd and ssd and replaces it with a working hard drive and that didnt solve the bsod's. I also can't get into the os whatsoever, and yes i have tried making a new windows 10 flash drive and installing it there so it's not the os being corrupted, I've also already tried removing anything unnecsisarry in the pc such as flash drives external hardrives and my gpu etc... any other ideas? like i said. I've tried LITERALLY EVERYTHING, that i can think of. been troubleshooting for 2 months now. still absolutely no idea what the hell is wrong with it.

Did anything happen around the time of the blue screens? Windows Updates? BIOS changes\updates? New software install or updates? etc...

Are you able to get into the OS at all and then it randomly blue screens? Or is this what you are receiving after Windows loads?

Are you able to view hardware logs for any hints? can you run bluescreenview?

Can you get into safe mode? have you tried "last known good config"


Could use a little more info...

Was this computer designed for windows 10 or did it have a previous version of windows on it?

The bsod first started happening about 3/5 months ago and i dont remember what caused it. i just remember getting spammed with errors saying "The instruction at 0x00000006EDFC00 referenced memory at 0x00000004EDF5C00. The memory could not be writted. Click OK to terminate the program" after a few minutes it bsod'd with the stopcode "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" after a few reboots it seemed to fix itself?

The second time it happened i just installed Overwatch and played it for like 2 hours, then after i was done- I closed it and it got spammed with the error code "The instruction at 0x00000006EDFC00 referenced memory at 0x00000004EDF5C00. The memory could not be writted. Click OK to terminate the program" again and then it bsod restart looped,

Ever since then it's been doing the same bsod restart loop. I cannot get into safe mode it would just bsod with either one of the 3 stopcodes and lgkc fails with a bluescreen as well.

I have also tried updating my BIOS, that did not work either.

Any other ideas?

I am not able to get into the OS whatsoever, only the BIOS

A trick when memory modules appear to be failing is to insert them and remove them several times to scrub the pins clean and get a better connection if its not getting a good connection, it could be the motherboard connectors are a little dirty and replacing the modules might not help.

If it doesn't help, you could try replacing the RAM with the latest modules supported by your board. Make sure they are replaced in sets.

As I said before its likely a hardware failure or software failure, but if you have already wiped the computer clean and you know the HDD isn't failing, its probably some hardware.

 

[androbourne]

Could be a few things.

Try to set the BIOS to factory defaults? You can also pull out all the memory sticks and try one slot at a time. Maybe the actual memory slot on the motherboard went bad?

Aside from that, I would remove every single device possible from the system while still leaving it bootable. And try to boot. Could be an external hard drive plugged in via usb? or a bad usb port etc....

Instruction memory errors are hard to troubleshoot because it really doesn't mean that the memory is bad. it means there was a corruption processing that request and it was found in memory. A lot of things can cause that like a failing piece of hardware or software drivers conflicting etc....

already tried replacing the ram 3 times and swapping then around several times in the dimm slots each time.

I've tried reseting the BIOS to factory and also tried resetting CMOS by taking out the battery and shorted the pins. that didn't work.

I don't have anything other than my keyboard and mouse plugged into the pc and even with then unplugged i still get bsod's, any other suggestions?

I should note that the pc was built with completely new parts all from amazon, not a single part was old or used, it was $4256 CAD so it would be kinda cool if i could get this fixed, it would end my depression.

Did you scrub the pins like I suggested? Simply replacing it 3 times may not do it. IF it is the memory connector on the motherboard, using the RAM module to 'scrub' the pins on the mobo would take maybe 10 insertions and removals of the same modules in the same slots. It helps to make sure tarnish or corrosion is removed from the slot on the motherboard.

 

[itsVance]

If you have a multimeter you could also test the PSU's power to make sure its working properly.

You already know what it is probably not, so you just need to systematically test each remaining hardware component.

If its not the RAM, it could be the CPU which may have a built in memory controller, if its not the CPU, it could be motherboard through which the CPU communicates with the RAM and Storage devices, or it could be the PSU.

I'd really doubt there would be corrosion on a brand new motherboard but I will try this, what do you mean "Scrub" like with a paper towel or something, I've never taken apart a motherboard before, so like I would have no idea how to scrub them,

Also if you two think its purely hardware being faulty, such as mb or psu. I can just get free replacements through amazon without a problem, would save me some the trouble.

I do not have a multi-meter sadly.

You mentioned you replaced the hard drive as well? Did you clone the drive or do a fresh install when you did that?

I have on several occasions saved customers money on replacing 'bad' RAM modules by simple removing and replacing them 10 -15 times. It scrubs the memory pins against the motherboard pins and allows for a better connection.

What you buy on Amazon may not always be as new as you think.
