Toast! :D
Well, you guys all know the deal from the random comments thread. As I said there the closest thing I can find to ntkrnlmp.exe is ntkrnlpa.exe is Windows\SysWOW64.
I have looked for the file myself in Win7,searched the whole drive. It is not there. (folder options are unchecked for hidden and system) So I have been reading up on this issue. I am not sure but I think mine was a memory compatibly issue that required a updated Flash of my motherboard. I need to know some things? I would be willing to bet that it is a ram memory issue.Well my computer often (On average around 3-4 times a week, but it seems to have been getting worse) get the BSOD, opening the dump files in WinDbg says that the likely cause is ntkrnlmp.exe, which I have been told is located in System32, but I don't seem to have such a file on my computer anywhere at all, I don't know if the fact that I am missing this file is the cause, but I have my suspicions.
Oh thank you so much, you don't know how relieving that is to hear. :lol:I have looked for the file myself in Win7,searched the whole drive. It is not there.
Desktop.1: Is your computer a laptop or desktop?
I posted these in the Random Comments Thread, is this the correct information?2: What is the exact error code listed on BSOD This can help to narrow it down
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
*** STOP: 0X0000007A (0XFFFFF6FC0001A498, 0XFFFFFFFFC0000185,0X0000000075E088860,0XFFFFF8000 3493B80)
Both RAM sticks are the ones originally packaged in my PC and are the same model.3: If your computer is a desktop do both memory modules (Ram) match? Are they different brands possibly?
:blink: I hope it doesn't come to that.4: get the exact model of motherboard and look on manufactures site for a bios upgrade file. (Do not attempt to flash or upgrade your bios on your motherboard unless you know what you are doing and have read ALL the instructions. This method could make your motherboard useless and unbootable if you make a mistake!)
I've never wanted to risk clocking, so this is definitely not the issue.5: If you have RAM,CPU,Graphics overclocked undo this and put back to default.
The only hardware I've added to the computer is a 1Tb hardrive and a new GPU, but I have had the same problem before I installed these. The computer is a Medion MD8390, and it's about two or three years old.6: Have you or anybody else added new hardware to the system recently? How old is the computer and what make and model
Ok caps are good. I went to the site and looked up medion md8390 and found nothing so I need you to find what they call a MSN number so we can see if they have a bios update and if so what issues that update addressesAll my capacitors check out, might take me a while to get back to you on the make/model though.
No, we have Aldi here too.And I thought Medion (The in-house electronics brand of Aldi) is only selling in Germany. :lol:
I used the memory test that you start by running mdsched.What memory test did you use?
I very much doubt that it will last through the night, but I'll give it a go.\And how long did you run it for?
To do a proper RAM test you need to run it for several hours. Quite often RAM failures won't show up in a simple test. You need to stress the machine to get them to appear.
Personally I'd use memtest86 and leave it running overnight.
It's getting late here, I'm getting off now, thanks for the help guys, I'll try some of the suggestions tomorrow.enter your MSN number on this page and goto drivers http://www.medion.com/au/service/start/_product.php There is a Bios update addressing USB issues. But before doing that try the other drivers first. The Bios update if it fails will void your warranty so use at your own risk. Ill be back on in about a hour or so
I agree with Urwumpe. When you start the computer and hit F8 repeatedly before it gets to windows logo you will see a menu that gives you an option for a memory check. (Mine passed also, it was a compatibility issue with certain brands of memory that required the Bios update) If the memory passes then I would Try the other drivers first then the bios update last. If that computer is still under warranty then you may just want to send it to them and let them figure it out. If this is not an option just make sure you follow the instructions on the page regarding the bios update (make sure you back up the original first and put the file on something other then just the hard drive. (ie usb flash drive) In case of failure you will have the original bios to revert it back to if need be.And I thought Medion (The in-house electronics brand of Aldi) is only selling in Germany. :lol:
DATA_INPAGE_ERRORS are a strong sign of memory corruption, I would recommend you to do a memory test first. These can take a while until the error appears again, but are sometimes able to help finding the bad module.
If it is memory corruption, you need to get new memory modules - if you still have warranty on the computer, let Medion fix this, instead of spending a lot of money for new modules, especially if you have no idea what modules causes it.
Another way to cause such errors is typical electronics fall-out: Overheating, dust, bad soldering. The first things can be addressed, the third is generally impossible to fix unless you are lucky and capable of really precise SMD soldering (about 99% of all people who know how to solder are not precise enough).
Edit: Wait, so for memtest86, I have to burn it to a disc and boot it from BIOS?
