Blue screen of death: stop error: 0X000000CE

• Blue screen of death (stop 0x0000007B) after April Windows Update on XP Home.

  My machine (Dell Dimension 3100 with XP Home) home is set for automatic recovery of Windows updates. I reload often, but when I was forced to start again last week, I got the blue screen of death. Apart from the general BSOD error message, I got the stop code:

  STOP 0x0000007B...

  I forgot the subsequent stop codes, but search recall I was doing on them indicated drivers disk or storage-related problem.

  I ran all sorts of Dell diagnostics on my hardware, get absolutely no problem. Scan of a viral infection was also negative. A colleague help out me suggested removing the updates of Windows of April, he did help and usefulness of the ERD. XP loaded and started after that, if I had to go through a process of slooow restart for most updates. My office also now charge many times slower - I suspect drivers and services can't find what they expect to find and take considerable time to make mistakes.

  My Dell has a range of Intel (RAID-1) matrix installed. I strongly suspect that this pilot was in trouble after the April update Windows Update.

  So, what should I do to prevent this from happening again? I don't know the specific fix involved. I have disabled the automatic updates for now.

  TIA

  Complete sweep of Kaspersky AV, booted from the CD, turned up negative, so I doubt that it is an infection.

  I'm sorry, but this does not exclude the possibility of infection. See step # 3 in my previous response, or contact Ms. PCSafety for assistance.

  Or see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff559218 (VS.85) .aspx and/or http://aumha.org/a/stop.php#0x7b for more troubleshooting ideas.

  Or if you let Windows Update to install an update for the driver (never a good idea), try a roll-back of pilot.

• Blue screen of death + other errors

  Hi, I do not know what to do. I have a Dell Inspiron N7110 and run on Windows 7, and I can't seem to do anything either on my laptop without eventually getting the blue screen of death or some sort of memory error.

  This is my blue screen:

  

  If this isn't the case, blue screen, I usually get this error:

  

  Sometimes, my office will suddenly disappear completely except for the background and I have no choice but to force stop completely, because I can't do anything else. Other times, my entire screen suddenly stops responding, and when I close the lid to get rid of the screen, it will just stay lit when the lid is down, and won't do anything else, once again I have to force close down.

  I seriously have no idea what is going on, and I do not understand computer jargon very well, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Suffered with this years.  The latest DMP file is since September 2015 but I suspect all 50 of them are related to Symantec.   I remove it and use MSE in its place.

  Symantec is a common cause of BSOD.

  
  
  I remove and replace it with Microsoft Security if you are using Windows 7 and if you win 8 or higher, use the built-in Defender.

• HP Mini 210-4000 blue screen of death PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA Error

  I've been up and down the Forums here with no specific luck, unfortunately, so I'll ask even if this has been asked and solved in another part of the site that I may have missed.

  I'm trying to untangle HP Mini Notebook a friend, model HP Mini 210-4125sa. The machine starts well enough until last week, when it was suddenly decided to blue screen.

  The text of the error message displayed in the BSOD reads as follows:

  PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

  TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

  STOP: 0 X 00000050 (0X87E40000, 0X00000000, 0X00000000, 0X92442B13)

  I can't start after loading Windows 7 - the load bar screen makes two fifths upwards and that's all.

  I had thought to try to recover the operating system, if possible, of what is apparently a recovery partition that is created on the hard drive (I have not worked with these machines before, unfortunately), but I can't figure out how to get to that partition before the typing error.

  In addition, after trying to download a piece of software of HP USB recovery Flash Disk Utility, I realize it seems necessary to use it in fact of the computer laptop itself, that is not possible.
  Having begun to run various tests on board in the menu of the BIOS, the hard drive Test failed just apparently (more specifically the hard drive part optimized DST test), with ID GGBXXV-66A75U-MFPX0J-61VV03 failure (I don't know if this information is useful but am nevertheless understood). HP unfortunately were not a lot of help as they wil only offers unique support technician call for forty pounds, or to take the laptop away for repair, which cost almost as much as the original of the material costs. Of course, I prefer to try and resolve this issue myself but have hit a bit of a wall at the present time. Any suggestion would be great at this point.

  This test equipment for the hard drive is a gift died of a faulty element. A failed hard drive is a show-stopper.

  Hard drive optimized DST part of the test), with ID GGBXXV-66A75U-MFPX0J-61VV03 failure (I don't know if this information is useful but am nevertheless understood) This is important information.

  A corrupted NTFS (hard drive) volume can also generate the "error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" stop message.

• Blue screen of death * STOP: 0x0000007E Please help

  A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.  If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: make sure that you have enough disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video cards.  Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.  Technical information: * STOP: 0x0000007E

  the only defense I have for her is fire threat.
  My windows XPS 400 computer was needing an update and I repeated restart later then I did go to sleep and when I tried to log on that came to the top.

  The figures I got were

  STOP: 0X000007E (0 X 80537008, 0XB84C33B8, 0X000001D, 0XB84C30B4)

  It won't let me connect to one of the modes.
   
  If you need more information ask.
   
  Help is very appreciated.

  Symptoms: Booted computer, loaded the raid drivers and showed at the start screen XP for half a second then to BSOD with a Stop error Code 0x0000007E - see also a lot of users (0xC0000001D, 0 x-, etc.) as well.

  Solution:

  1 boot from your Windows XP CD and start the recovery console. You may need to press F6 while RC loads in order to load the SATA drivers. you will have a prompt c:\WINDOWS to the console.

  2. type: CD $NtUninstallKB977165$ \spuninst (it's the update, I had to uninstall to get out of the boot loop, other updates can be uninstalled by changing the name of the directory to $NtUninstallKBCODE$, where KBCODE is the code KB)

  3. type: BATCH spuninst.txt

  4. type: exit

  Don't forget to configure your system to boot from the HD before resuming. I hope this helps. Saved me a lot of hassle today.

• CD/DVD drive, causing the Blue Screen of Death stop

  Software from CD/DVD in my Dimension E510 desktop seems to be the dreaded blue screen shut downs - usually as a CD is ejected. The web page error analysis Windows that appears after that restart indicates the problem is caused by a resulting driver. It's the Sonic Digital Media software provided on the system, but sometimes when I run the program I get a warning message saying that the software is not an approved final version? I would like to uninstall the Sonic CD/DVD software which seems to be the cause of the problem and replace it. This will probably solve the problem of the "blue screen", and which would be a recommended CD/DVD operating system that would be compatible with my system. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Can I have forgotten something, but I can't seem to understand how access BACK to make new partitions to re - install XP Pro.

  If you can start with Partition Wizard cd without blue screening, you can simply adjust the setting of the SATA/AHCI Mode IDE BIOS to install XP.

  Question:
                      

  As you can see the attached picture explains my problem.

  Additional information:

  • How it started: one evening I booted up it (at startup video card: Radeon HD 6470 M) > I did not open any file or run programs, given that I have heat at the start at least 2-3 minutes > frozen screen > restarted on its own > BSOD (attached above Image) will not go away.
  • This BSOD once and has never been resolved since it occurred.
  • I like to play games on this laptop that includes; League of Legends LoL aka, installed other than LoL I also have the call of Duty series (from "World at War" until the last present "ghosts"), Red Alert 3, Red Alert 3 Uprising and HAWKX of Tom Clancy.
  • I usually play LoL at least a total of 2-5 h. / day.
  • My laptop is properly vented / cooled. (I have my laptop PT placed on 4 cylinders, leaving her underwear and its sides free of any obstructions. It is placed in front of an electric FAN. I also use the air conditioning if I do not use the electric fan)
  • Max temperature reaches at least 75-80 degrees Celsius during the game (Normal using search, but I still do not know if its Normal)
  • Idle temperature is somewhere between 55-65 degrees Celsius.
  • Radeon HD 6470 M Graphics Card is currently disabled in the Device Manager.
  • I live in a Tropical climate, Southeast Asia (help?).
  • I have switchable graphics cards, I currently use the integrated video card (Intel HD 3000 graphics card) by disabling the Radeon 6470 m from the device via the Boot Manager on Safe MODE.

  I have...

  • Uninstalled the graphics card (Radeon 6470 m) via (Safe Mode) Device Manager, rebooted the laptop as to allow it to reinstall the video card. (> Screen blacked out > BSOD---> >()has NO WORK)

  Finally...

  • In reading many forums about this issue, I hope that it is a software and not a hardware problem cause someone says this "the answer is you start Windows in safe mode, which will kill the drivers from the mixture. If you STILL get the BSOD in safe mode, then you more than likely a hardware problem. »

• The blue screen of start - stop unknown codes errors

  I use windows XP service Pack 3.  I changed my diet over yesterday with a few errors when trying to start finally started. subsequently had some problems with a freeze up. tried to restart and got the blue screen of death with errors. re installed powersupply old got it up and running again. It tried to boot the pc and blue screen errors again. Put the new power supply in eide cable changed on hard drive. Booted fine ran a few hours and blue screen again. The warning is a windows subsystem process is completed with status 0xc0000005, 0x7e7213ca, and 0x006af5d8. any help would be great thanks Steve

  Error code 0 x 0000005 usually indicates some sort of a permissions problem.  I have no idea how this would bind to a socket well!

  If it works sometimes, if you play inside, do you think you may have a poor connection or loose somewhere?  Are you able to just unlug and reconnect / reinstall everything will be cancelled (without using too much force)?  Just do one thing at a time, so you don't mix...  Unplug it, plug it back, unplug the next thing, plug it back, etc.  You reinstall RAM and video card if you have one in a crack - out them one at a time, put them immediately from whence they came.

  Here's how to start debugging of a BSOD.

  Please provide additional information on your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a CD/DVD drive work?

  You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  Your system seems to start OK and then crash or didn't he start not at all?

  If your system works fine, what do you think might have changed since the last time it worked correctly?
  Can you make the system crash when you want
  ?  For example, you would say that there is no specific system activity that coincides with the accidents (like watching videos, playing games, etc.).
  The next time your system crashes, provide more information on what you see.

  Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

  http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

  Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

  Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

  If there is a name of the file listed in the STOP message, don't forget to include this information too.

  Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.
  Now provide more information about your system and data against more recent accidents.
  Click Start, run and enter in the box:
  Msinfo32
  Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the information here.
  For information about video drivers, expand components, click view, click on edit, select all, copy and then paste the information here.
  There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and anything that turns information private for you, simply delete the pasted information.
  This will minimize back Q & A and eliminate guesswork.
  Download BlueScreenView here:
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/blue_screen_view.html
  Unzip it and run it (BSV installs nothing) and let him complete the digitization of all your crash dump files.
  If you double-click on depressed, you will get information on it (including the field caused by the driver) and you should be able to spot the problem right away - especially if you see a model in landfills where Caused by field pilot is the same (beginning with this driver).
  BlueScreenView tries to find the right driver or module that caused the blue screen by looking inside the stack of the accident. However, be aware that the driver detection mechanism is not 100% reliable, and you should also look in the lower pane, that display all drivers/modules found in the stack.
  Select (highlight) one or more of the most recent dump files by clicking on them and hold down the CTRL key to select multiple files
  .  Try to select only the most recent links that relate to your problem (perhaps five or six to start dump files).
  Click on file, save selected items and save information from the dumps to a text file on your desktop called BSOD.txt.

  Open BSOD.txt with a text editor Notepad, WordPad, etc.), select all (Ctrl-A), copy all the text in the Windows Clipboard (Ctrl-C) and paste the text to the Clipboard (Ctrl-V) back here in your next reply.

  While this error can be caused by malware infection, it's commonly found when the RAM failed. In all cases, you want to go down the data files before you do anything else. Do this with one of the following methods:

  1 remove the drive and put it in a box of USB drive or use a USB adapter. Attach it to a computer that is running a working XP/Vista/Windows7 installation. Use the work of Windows Explorer to copy the data to the hard drive of the system to the rescue and burn data on cd or dvd. I prefer not to do it if I know the drive is infected because he has a chance to infect your host system. In these cases, I use #2 below.

  2. you can start the target computer with a Bart PE (if you use XP) or a Linux live CD like Knoppix and retrieve the data in this way. General information about the use of Knoppix for this are:

  You will need a computer with two cd records, one of which is an engraver of CD/DVD OR a USB thumb drive with sufficient capacity to store your data, OR an external hard drive formatted USB FAT32 (not NTFS) *. Download Knoppix .iso image file and create your bootable CD. If you do this in a previous (XP or Vista) operating system, you will need the third burning like Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn software (Windows 7 can burn .isos natively). Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Then boot with the CD that you created, and Knoppix will be able to see the files in Windows. If you use the USB key or an external hard disk, right-click on its icon (on the desktop) to get its properties and uncheck "read only". Then click on it to open it. Note that the mouse action by default in the window manager used by Knoppix (KDE) is a simple click to open instead of double-click traditional MS Windows. If you want to burn CD/DVDs, use the K3b program.

  * My understanding is that you can now write on NTFS from Linux partition. If you wish to do this, Google for instructions on the use of the NTFS driver.

  When you have your data safely, get hardware troubleshooting with the RAM before reinstalling Windows. There is no point in trying to install Windows if your material is not good.

  If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
