Page fault in nonpaged area and Memory management BSOD on startup

Anonymous
2014-12-14T21:15:50+00:00

I have been getting crashes in the last month after the first program opens following startup. The error is most often PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and sometimes MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. The issue usually does not happen twice in a row. That is, when the computer restarts after crashing, it normally runs smoothly until I shut it down again. 

Running memtest for several hours came up clean. chkdsk did not appear to solve anything or reveal any problems. Windows is up to date.

This custom built machine is approx 1.5 years old, problems began 1 month ago. 

EDIT: Crashes just started during "normal" operation instead of simply on startup.

Please run driver verifier (DV) per the instructions in the link below.

Note: Make sure to read and remember the steps to reset DV in the event of a crash, and post a link to the newly generated crash dump here.

    Please run driver verifier (DV) per the instructions in the link below.

    Thank you for your help. Running driver verifier caused an immediate crash upon startup (windows loading screen displayed for < 1 second before crash).

    As per the instructions provided in your link, here is the system information file.

    Again, thank you for your help. I was unaware of driver verifier.

    Edit: fixed onedrive link

    DV takes the guess work out of the process when it is successful, and as you can see, PxHlpa64.sys was flagged as the culprit.

    By the way, you should also investigate your NVidia display driver.

    Update Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology Driver Software to version 12.8.0.1016

    Please download and run ADWCleaner and upload a copy of the report produced to your OneDrive. Remove all that it finds.

    Try deleting idstore.sst at "C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking\idstore.sst"

    To eliminate recurring Event ID: 10 errors in your Application log please run the Fix it in this KB Article

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2545227

    Update or remove PxHlpa64.sys which is a Sonic DVD/CD driver.

    Thank you.

    Updated Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver Software

    Ran ADWCleaner

    https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=D7F4A227A3E09142!126&authkey=!AJE-jJcxB2LFHqA&ithint=file%2ctxt

    Deleted idstore.sst 

    Ran MicrosoftFixit50688.msi

    I disabled the DVD drive that was using PxHlpa64.sys. Attempting to run automatic updates was unsuccessful ("Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.")

    What is the preferred method of removing PxHlpa64.sys? Uninstall the DVD drive entirely or manually delete the single file?

    Thank you again for everything. 

    EDIT:

    Possibly important note: Windows attempted to update last night on computer shutdown and got stuck on update step 2/2. This continued the full night until I stopped by hard resetting the next morning (approx 6 hours later). Should I now be worried about corrupt system files?

    Thank you!

    I asked Gerry C J Cornell the same, but what is the preferred method for dealing with this driver? Attempting an automatic update was unsuccessful. Should I uninstall the DVD Device using this driver or simply delete the file "PxHlpa64.sys" manually?

    Thanks for the NVidia info. I'm surprised to see a TDR error. I have yet to notice the warning "display driver has stopped and recovered" on my machine. 

    I've been keeping up to date with NVIDIA driver updates and just did one now. 

    Of note was a dialog box that appeared during "3d vision driver" installation: "Could not start process."

    I don't use the 3d vision capabilities and a search of this error turned up nothing useful.
