BSOD! This happens on boot and I cant get into windows. tried the start-up repair and have default CPU settings. Can anyone identify this one? It is a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. I will try and upload a picture soon.

Can't upload a picture because I get the Error 413 with the jpeg.

 

Tried a bit of RAM troubleshooting but it seems it could be be a memory problem of anything. So VRAM or cache could also be a problem. Sort of hoping it would be a cache problem so I can get an Ivy Bridge replacement. The only other thing I can add is that it had a double boot but that was probably because I hadn't used it for a few days.

FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA is almost always related to a RAM issue. Be sure that you are gving enough voltage. Also loosen your timings a bit if you are running them at very high timings.

Here's a link to some possible fixes... http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff559023(v=vs.85).aspx

Everything is at default, so I can't really see that as a fix. They are 9-9-9-24 1333MHz.

 

Over at the Overclockers.net forum they have said that it could be a Windows 7 problem and a reinstall may fix it which would mean REINSTALLING ALL OF FSX :'(.

 

1st world problems :)

I was havinga BSOD with the same error message that was being caused by Gigabyte's 'Charge While Off' feature. By uninstalling that feature I was able to eliminate the problem. I'm not sure while it gives a message so frequently associated with RAM problems, but that was the fix.

Yeah well I can't boot into windows with this so that option is a slight problem.

Knocked out GPU as been a fault.

This is odd, the System recovery options says the OS is on Local Disk C:.

Any success with the windows reinstall so far?

I am going to try and reinstall Windows on a fresh drive so I don't wipe a possibly good HDD. Anyway, may try that tomorrow or Tuesday, for now, I have had enough.

I am trying to backup everything on the HDD but for some reason (for the users file at least) on the C: drive its around 66mb, when I copy it it takes ages cos its copying 4.6GB or something. Why is it so large all of a sudden!?

Please name your topics accordingly. "Oh dear :(" is not really a meaningful topic title. Thanks.

Yes, thanks for doing that. I thought I should mention my problem after I posted the topic but I was in a state of unhappiness and didn't really think.

 

Well the update on the situation is I am currently still transferring all the files and in the morning I shall try and reload Windows. All I should need to reinstall are the drivers and a bit of software. Hopefully it was the HDD and nothing else otherwise this was an incredible waste of time!

Ok so Windows seems to be installing fine and I have everything backed up. Its just like when I started out with this machine. I have mostly everything from the HDD backed up on a PHDD. So that's the users files, program files + (x86), my Microsoft Flight Simulator X folder and a few other FSX things. I didn't copy over REX because that's easy to install and I didn't really have much on it. Now, what is the best way to transfer all these files? Do I just copy the FSX folder and its documents over in one big hit, or should I install default FSX and then copy over the addons? Everything is tuned for this PC so I can't see why I should have to reinstall it all.
