BSOD ram problem

[rickshaw513]

Hello I just had BSOD with a message stating Page_fault_in_nonpage_area.
After this it would not boot not even when choosing last known good configuration. I then took out one of my sticks of ram ( I have dual channel) and it was able to boot. Now I put the stick back in and boots and runs fine. I am almost certain this means I have a bad stick of ram but since it still boots with both i am not certain. Could it just have been something in my memory cache? When i run whocrashed it states that there are no valid crash dumps. Any information would be appreciated.

Might want to run Memtest on each stick individually, maybe 4-5 passes to see if a bad stick, What's you specs, CPU, mobo, DRAM (model#, PSU and GPU?

Might clear your page file - or delete it, then re-create it slightly larger, might also add a touch of voltage to the DRAM, if 1.5 sticks take them to 1.55

That's always a bummer, but having found the problem, now you can move on rather than end up bald from tearing your hair out - drop us an update when you get your new stick(s)
