Hey, I have had these weird blue screen errors happen all month in a row.
Hey, I have had these weird blue screen errors happen all month in a row.
I've been trying to use my PC without any other issues, but now I'm getting these strange errors. The system keeps saying PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA when it comes to reading an Ntfs.sys file. There are also warnings about KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE from win32kbase.sys and ntoskrnl.exe. One of the bigger problems seems to be IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, but I think that one was caused by a conflict between Riot Vanguard (Valorant anti-cheat) and iCUE as Driver Verifier, and it's a known issue; uninstalling Valorant and its anti-cheat has helped me stop seeing this specific error. I have tried running Driver Verifier many times, but it keeps flagging random things that I've already removed, so the problem isn't gone yet. Also, Windows Memory Diagnostic said there are no problems found. I've tried changing the page file settings and updating all my drivers too. My computer is an HP Z240 Tower Workstation with a CPU model Xeon E3-1245 v5, 24 gigabytes of RAM, and an NVIDIA Quadro M400 graphics card. Here are some dump files I found: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KDgwC8N...sp=sharing
The dumps show two things: the RAM might be faulty, or maybe the driver is broken and isn't showing up in the logs. Honestly, I'd need to see your system details to give you a real suggestion. Please download Speccy, run it, then go to File > Publish Snapshot. You'll get a special link; paste that here.
Hey, I just ran Specky and got this link here: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/vWNAC...ZslGikoJgB
The first thing I notice is that your memory sticks are mixed together. You have two 8GB sticks from Crucial and two 4GB sticks from Samsung. The speed is the same, but all the timing numbers are different. Here is a small sample from your Speccy report... Code: Type: DDR4 Size: 16384 MBytes Manufacturer: Crucial Technology Max Bandwidth: DDR4-2132 (1066 MHz) Part Number: CT8G4DFD8213.C16FAR2 Serial Number: 3759714612 Timing table JEDEC #1 Frequency: 666.7 MHz CAS# Latency: 9.0 RAS# To CAS#: 9 RAS# Precharge: 9 tRAS: 22 tRC: 31 Voltage: 1.200 V Type: DDR4 Size: 8192 MBytes Manufacturer: Samsung Max Bandwidth: DDR4-2132 (1066 MHz) Part Number: M391A5143EB1-CPB Serial Number: 907003227 Week/year: 26 / 17 Timing table JEDEC #1 Frequency: 727.3 MHz CAS# Latency: 10.0 RAS# To CAS#: 10 RAS# Precharge: 10 tRAS: 24 tRC: 34 Voltage: 1.200 V It's never a good idea to mix RAM, especially from different chips. Ideally, you want all your sticks to come from the same batch or source. Even better, it is best practice to buy them in one big package so they match perfectly. I am not saying this is definitely causing your problem right now, but there is a chance that mixing these two brands could be the issue. I would recommend taking out the two 4GB sticks and testing if your system works fine with just the two 8GB cards. We should wait until we know for sure what happened before making any more changes.
My memory sticks match each other perfectly. Slots 1 and 3 are alike too, just like slots 2 and 4. So is that a fix for our issue?
