Windows XP SP2 BSOD - Repetative Errors!

Hello Ladies/Gents

I firstly appologise for jumping upon this bandwagon of BSOD errors, i have tried
many ways to find out the culprit of the errors i am recieving, which are becoming ever so repetative...

i have changed my RAM, tested both sticks using "MemTest86 v1.65" no errors occured running 8 passes each stick,
updated all my drivers using a very usefull program called "Driver Genius Professional Edition 2005"

and still no joy, and i still keep getting the BSOD!! *doh*

here are some of my MiniDump files if someone would be so kind to have alook and see if they can solve my ongoing mystery,
there are 7-8 minidumps in total from the last week or so..


Hopefully someone can smack me in the face and show me what is wrong.. haha.

Thanks for reading (and helping)

If you don't have 256MB of integrated graphics memory and you are seeing things like this, then your memory is definitely questionable.

Memtest won't turn up all problems, so don't rely on it as the end-all test... But it is good reassurance that your memory is working OK.

Other things that can cause blue screens? Well, tons of things. But most the most common items might be a failing drive, memory, cpu or board. Overheating is a common cause too. Software wise, just about anything goes, but most likely if software is the culprit, you have yourself a driver or virus problem.

Is it the same BSOD each time? Same message maybe? That might help narrow it down. What's the frequency? Does it happen at certain times, or does it happen randomly without cause?

I'd recommend running a disk diagnostic to verify your hard drive is in proper working order. Much like memtest, these diagnostics aren't 100%, but pretty darn close. https://www.techspot.com/vb/topic7602.html

Hi MobiTec,

The culprit is faulty ram.

The culprit is faulty memory. You can run memtest to stress the ram. If memtest reports the ram is faulty, ram is bad. However Memtest is not a perfect tool to test the memory as some faulty ram can pass memtest.

Suggestion
1. Check the temperature of the CPU and make sure that it is not overheat (ie temperature < 60C)
Make sure that the CPU fan works properly
2. Reseat the memory stick to another memory slot
3. Downclock the ram
4. Clean the dust inside the computer case
5. Make sure that the ram is compatible to the motherboard
6. Check the bios setting about memory timing and make sure that it is on
If it still crashes, diagnostic which memory stick is faulty
1. Take out one memory stick. If windows does not crash, the removed memory stick is faulty.
2. If you have only one memory stick, replace the ram



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: 9a86324f, memory referenced.
Arg2: 00000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
Arg3: 804ed81d, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
address.
Arg4: 00000000, (reserved)
