Hello everyone,

This board rocks for getting bugs figured out.

I want to send $25 to the first person that can help me to *correctly* indentify what the problem is. I'll send it to your paypal right away.

Here's the deal. I built a new computer with the following specs:

ASUS K8N-DL mobo
2 x AMD Opteron 265
4 x 1G Corsair XMS3200R 1024MB 3.3.3.8
4 x WD Raptor 10k 36Gig Drives in RAID 0
XFX Extreme Edition Geforce 7950 GX2
Antec TruePower Trio 650 PSU
XP Pro SP2 Version: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
4 massive fans keeping it cool. Even does it with the sides off. It seems to happen when I make a query on the computer.

I get a Page Fault on non paged area BSOD referencing FastFat.sys.

I have attached 10 minidumps. If someone can let me know what the problem is, I'll make a donation to their paypal for 25 bucks.

Im going nuts over here trying to figure this out, and I need to get back work.

I just built this computer from scratch. Could it possilble that some the parts arent compatible?

I have removed the ram and I'm testing one module at a time. So far 3 of them in slot 1 have failed.

Thanks so much.

Thanks, Im reading those now.

I also decrypted my .dmp files for review. Can someone let me know what is the problem?



KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED_M (1000008e)
This is a very common bugcheck. Usually the exception address pinpoints
the driver/function that caused the problem. Always note this address
as well as the link date of the driver/image that contains this address.
Some common problems are exception code 0x80000003. This means a hard
coded breakpoint or assertion was hit, but this system was booted
/NODEBUG. This is not supposed to happen as developers should never have
hardcoded breakpoints in retail code, but ...
If this happens, make sure a debugger gets connected, and the
system is booted /DEBUG. This will let us see why this breakpoint is
happening.
Arguments:
Arg1: c0000005, The exception code that was not handled
Arg2: 804fe385, The address that the exception occurred at
Arg3: 8a36bb5c, Trap Frame
Arg4: 00000000

Debugging Details:


---------------------------

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except,
it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.
Arguments:
Arg1: fffffffc, memory referenced.
Arg2: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
Arg3: ae687447, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
address.
Arg4: 00000000, (reserved)

That was just the tops of them. All of them are viewable in attachment.

Thanks

I see that you've got some corsair memory with some fairly tight timings.
Have you adjusted your VDIMM voltage to Corair's recommended setting?
Don't rely on the Auto setting to do this, it probably wont.
I've just wasted 3 days of my life trying to install XP, with much the same BSODs that you've experienced. MS Knowledge Base is a complete waste of time. I didn't discover the VDIMM setting until a flashed a new BIOS.
Hope thta helps.
