NPF.sys - non paged - memory leak

Hey,.

I have a Windows 7 with 8 GB of RAM. After running for a day or two, the RAM consumption is going upward and upward in the Task Manager, and the computer ends up by becoming completely insensitive. Doing some research with RAMMAP and found that the leak of memory is in the non paged. Ran POOLMON and found that the leak was with the AWP6 tag. Researched the C all way through 'findstr /s AWP6 *.sys' and found this string in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\npf.sys but I don't know where to go from here.

In addition, the process of the system (PID 4) creates a carrot and is 25% CPU usage.

I can run tests or post screenshots as requested.

In the npf.sys research, I found that this file is installed with WinPCAP, which was (unbeknownst to me) installed with another program I had installed on my computer. Uninstalling WinPCAP and restarting seemed to have solved the problem.

Also, I had already run, windows memory diagnostic, so I knew that the RAM itself was not the problem.

I hope this helps someone later.

  • Defective touchpad (Synaptics) and slow computer after extended use (memory leak)

    Two problems have been caused with my HP Split 2 x since I bought it 2 months ago:

    (1) the touchpad works sometimes for a few seconds, while the touchscreen still work OK.

    (2) the computer becomes slow after a while of use (which varies from a few minutes to a few hours usually). The Task Manager shows 98%-99% of memory, most of which use (3.6 GB / 4 GB) are not paged memory.

    I suspect the two issues are related to a faulty Synaptics driver, according to:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/envy-X2-non-paged-pool-memory-l...

    and http://forum.notebookreview.com/razer/731374-memory-leak-synaptics-driver.html .

    I did the same test as the second link with the same result: Open "Task Manager" (Ctrl-Shift-Esc), on the 'Performance' tab, select 'memory '. Note the value for "Non paged memory. If I move the touchpad, it increases to about 1 MB every 5 seconds. If I stop moving, the value remains constant.

    I use the preinstalled Synaptics driver, version 17.0.10.9 (Sep 06, 2013) for 64-bit 8.1 window.

    Everyone has the same problem, or use it without these issues?

    I would like to know if a restoration system or factory reset may fix.

    FINALLY!

    Microsoft has just released an update for Synaptics Driver, not thanks to HP which has not found a way to provide the possible Synaptics driver as an OEM update.

    Update Windows Update to Sypatics HD TouchPad two days ago, but I would not be allowed to install as it kept then mainly in giving the 800F0100 error Code. After some research on the Internet I could find that an installation manual after the WU has downloaded the driver would be possible.

    So I went to the Device Manager > mice and other pointing devices > TouchPad Synaptics HID > properties > driver > Update Driver > Browse my computer for driver software and shown the finger/windows/C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution/Download and everything worked like a charm = D

    I have no more memory leak and now after SEVEN MONTHS I finally can use gestures that it was supposed to.

    But I still annoyed gel problems which in my case is a dysfunction between the screen and the dock.

    Just that you wanted the guys at Microsoft to know is the solution, not the HP that would have had if they have signed and put the driver since November last at our disposal. Blame it on you, HP.

  • Gettings error message: error in the non paged area error page

    I have a Satellite M45-S265 with Windows XP. Even if I moved abroad and then went home, I haven't lost my recovery CD!

    However, my computer went to compensation under a policy of service from Best Buy. She returned with a new card, new keyboard, new drive hard (in white), new CD player and I don't know what to another new. I guess the 3rd global environment was pretty hard on this (dust, moisture, heat) so it takes a lot of new things.

    Now, when I use the recovery CD, it seems to do everything OK, until he asks me my settings. After settings, it tells me it will reboot and it does, and when she returns to the top he gets a blue screen with the error 'page in the non paged area failure. "

    Technical information of the blue screen:

    Stop: 0 x 00000050 (0xA9A35A00, 0 x 00000000, 0 x 00000000, 0x805C52BA)

    win29a51.sys address A9A35A00, at A9A35A00, date stamp 00000000

    When I restart, the windows looks like it will start up. Can I get a pretty little box of windows with the message "the system is not fully installed. Please run Setup again. »

    I wonder if the restore CD will not work because there is perhaps now another brand of hard drive on CD here, or different, different determinants?

    Best Buy has something wrong or I have to take the computer to them?

    Original internet research indicates the problem could be faulty RAM?

    What should I do?

    Thank you
    Susan

    Hi Susan,.

    Looks clearly like a related problem of RAM. I recommend to put the machine to a technician and allow it to check the RAM memory, because this fault of page errors occur when something was written into RAM and then if the operating system asks files block in the module memory may not be accessible which causes the above error.

  • Lightroom CC 2015.5 - memory leak?

    I reinstalled my computer just after doing a few hardware upgrades (12 GB - > 16GB, 500GB SSD, new video card) and now if Lightroom works for about 30-40 minutes, Windows warns me that my system is out of memory.

    I restarted Lightroom and opens the window information system and watched the real and the virtual memory used by Lightroom values just start a slow climb while the program was not yet in use.

    I've seen similar posts on Lr and a memory leak, but not quite the same circumstances.

    I am including the full screen Sys Info then that a few cases a minute apart on two counters memory below.  Any suggestion would be appreciated.  The creative cloud app said that I have the current version.

  • There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as the Firefox Start Page, at 26.0 Firefox on Windows!

    There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as start up Firefox, 26.0 Firefox Page, Windows!

    seen on:
    -Windows 7 x 64 machine with 12 GB of RAM and high performance CPU (core i7-920)
    -Comments Machine virtual WinXP SP3 (in Oracle VirtualBox) running on the same computer
    -Intel Atom D525 netbook with 4 GB of RAM, running Win7 x 64

    None of these machines are connected through Sync or something like that. The Firefox instance on the virtual machine is a fresh install / clean.

    The problem:
    -100% of cpu usage for 10 seconds, (util in XP) memory usage goes up to 1.7 GB
    -If "subject: House" is actually the Firefox Start Page, it blocks the computer at startup of Firefox for 10 seconds
    -If "subject: House" isn't the Firefox Start Page, startup is fine - BUT if I press the "home" on the toolbar button it loads "on: House" which causes the same question once again

    Sounds that there is a problem with one of the code snippets that are responsible. I've seen several reports on this issue.

    You can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref an empty string on the subject: the page of config to disable loading (new) checked to see if that helps.

    You can open the topic: config page through the address bar

    You must remove the ' storage\moz-security-about + origin "folder in the folder of Firefox to delete already profile stored clips.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Satellite U500 memory leak - 18 p

    I have PSU8CE 18 p Satellite U500 with preinstalled Windows7 Home Premium x 64 with 4 GB RAM. When I start mode safe then memory not sunk. When I start it in Normal mode then nonpaged kernel memory develops up to 3011 MB (~ 4 days running).

    I downloaded poolmon.exe and Crescent pool tag found: "AmlH" (ACPI AMLI Pooltags). In safe mode, this pool has 1 single allocation unit. In Normal Mode ~ every 73 seconds he returned new unit. Size of each unit is 524288 bytes.

    Then I downloaded and installed "Windows Performance Toolkit" and run xperf.exe and xperfview.exe according to

    I restored windows to State factory but still present memory leak.

    Memory leaks are a common error in programming.
    leak memory occurs when a computer program consumes memory, but is unable to release it in the operating system.

    In your case, it would be necessary to know what application or process that runs in the background do
    This can be very long process you would need to install a system of fees will need to check the memory leak after each installation of driver or another application

  • String memory leak?

    I've been programming for a while in AS3 and found something really weird with ropes which, without apparent reason, cling on memory, the program below changes just the property label.text with a random string, it works fine but when I looked at the Flex Profiler, I noticed that the number of channels increases steadly, I tried to run the garbage collector , but did not help me.

    What is a memory leak? How can I solve it?

    As I know that this strings must be collected by the garbage collector, because there is no object referring to them, yet this is not the case for all channels.

    Here is the code and a screenshot of the Flex profiler indicating the number of instances of String.

    Theres no such leaks memory, not answered here

  • Since the upgrade to Sierra MediaLibraryService is causing a memory leak

    Hello.

    I upgraded to Sierra, since as soon as Itunes is launched, the com.apple.medialibraryservice is originally a large memory leak, it keeps in ram more until she takes all (16 GB) and significantly slows down the computer.

    I tried to reset the nvram and smc memory, doesn't change anything.

    Does anyone have an idea on what is causing this leak and is there a solution?

    Yes, I noticed this also. After that I opened iTunes, it's just a matter of time before all the memory gets used up and all departure is wobbly. In particular, bluetooth really gets bug after a certain time, and as soon as I quit iTunes, that's fine.

  • On firefox memory leaks cause blue screens?

    On firefox memory leaks cause blue screens?

    If you encounter blue screen crashes, this majority refers often to an incompatibility with a device driver, especially the graphics drivers. Go to Firefox Safe Mode and disable the use of Firefox hardware acceleration of graphics.

    Assuming that Firefox is closed:

    Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox. You should get a small dialog box. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

    (If Firefox is running, use Help > restart with disabled modules to call the dialog box.)

    In Firefox, open the Options of the Advanced tab dialog box:

    the button Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) > Options > advanced

    In the mini ' General' tab, uncheck the box for "use hardware acceleration when available.

    This will take effect after you exit Firefox and start it up again (in normal mode).

  • Firefox memory leak &lt;! DIFFICULTY! &gt;

    Hello fellow Firefox users!

    For most of us, Firefox suffers from a memory leak crazy, this can cause slowdown and perhaps even crashes. This happens mainly because when you close the tabs, the RAM, they took is always taxing your computer. Among other things cause this annoying leakage.

    -SOLUTION-
    Recently, I switched to Firefox and has this leak. I would not put upward with him, so I put solutions. Here's what I came with.

    Some addons I've handpicked, which when combined, are extremely effective.

    RAMBack
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/RAMBack/?src=SS

    MemoryFox

    MemoryRestart 1.1
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/memory-restart/?src=SS

    -IN ADDITION-
    Firefox slow acting? Try these great modules!

  • My Macbook Pro reboots after a memory leak every two hours

    Hey everybody. I'm having a problem with my MacBook Pro (retina, mid-2012), where he is recovering in market (usually after gel). In this case only (so far) while using Adobe Illustrator CC 2015 (to date). I also use a Wacom tablet (intuos 4, with latest drivers), drawing, which can also be the culprit.

    This happened with Yosemite, so I had upgraded to El Capitan - that does not solve the problem.

    I apologize if the problem is with myself! I get that this problem is probably the fault of Wacom, Adobe or myself - I just want to see what you think Mac-heads.

    Thanks a lot, a lot in advance for any advice - I appreciate any help I can get.

    The report I get, when restarting is as follows:

    Mon 4 Jan 20:19:13 2016

  • UDP/Lakes memory leaks?

    I wonder if anyone has had problems with memory leaks/Lakes when you use UDP and data queues?

    The program has a section of code where the queues are loaded with the data read from different UDP ports. The queues are then read by a loop (which is triggered by a source of synchronization of 1 kHz) and some of the data is displayed on the Panel before the main VI. When the program runs it loses memory about 100 Kbps leading to a failure in about 4-5 hours, when the physical RAM is at its maximum.

    I think that I traced the question (using the DETT it shows several memory allocation operations) to the Subvi I join which fills the queues. Can anyone help to emphasize something that could lead to leaks of memory/Lakes?

    Thank you!

    I suspect that the problem is that you are not emptying queues quickly enough. And is not in the code you have posted. There's also a few subVIs, classes, and controls.

    Usually call loops should only be used on real-time operating systems. They offer no advantage over the standard while loop and have an additional charge when using a desktop OS. Also placing indicators within the quick loops can create problems. The operating system does not update the screen dozens of times per second, so wrote indicators 1000 times per second LV forces or the operating system, or both to manipulate data.

    Having multiple synchronization methods in a loop can lead to problems.  UDP timeout is probably based on the clock count of ticks. If you have the timeout of read of the UPD defined with a value greater than zero, the UDP bed may take longer than the timed loop interval.  The timeout of read UDP allows a wait in a standard while loop.

  • Memory leak with RS-485 visa

    I tried to find a slow memory leak in a large application Labview (2012f3). Using perfmon, probes and breakpoints, I could trace the source of the leak of a series VI communication employing a number of nodes VISA. I have attached a slightly simplified version of the VI leaking (serialCommand.vi), as well as a VISA vi initialization and a VI of container to test.

    Did anyone see any problems with the serialCommand VI that could possibly cause memory leak?

    After reading all posts of the forum that I could find on memory leaks and VISA error, I was still unable to stop the leak. SomeofthethingsI'vetriedsofar:

    -J' read VISA Close can cause leaks memory, so I disabled inside the loop (even if he was closing an event, not the port)

    -J' wrote extra carriage at the beginning of the VI returns, before rinsing the pads

    -J' was initially using VISA 5.2; After the upgrade to VISA 5.3, the leak occurred still

    -J' replaced VISA nodes with constant value placeholders, and the leak repaired (not a solution, but the confirmation that it is the location of the leak)

    It may also be worth noting that I don't remember when this leak memory in the previous development when I was watching for leaks, but a few days ago Labview executable generates started fails with the error 1, and the only way to get Labview to successfully build again should fix labview from Add/Remove Programs (Win 7 Ultimate) , so it could be related to a change of version in one of the packages that has been reinstalled.

    Thank you.

    Is there a reason that you use VISA events?  It seems that you expect just a character.  Why not to use playback VISA wait for a byte and use the timeout if the byte is not?

  • tool tip memory leak

    Seems to be leaking memory associated with ToolTips.  Every time I put your mouse on a panel using tool tips I see case the dynamic memory usage constantly increases.  If I comment out the call to the functions of the tool tip (i.e. SetCtrlToolTipAttribute), memory leak disappears.

    There is no patch for 8.0.0, if it is tell you.

    But from the Toolbox of the programming interface is open-source, you can easily fix it yourself:

    The 8.0.0 3365 online version of C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\CVI80\toolslib\toolbox\toolbox.c, you need to add the function call following ListDispose:

    If (RectContainsPoint (bounds, point))
    {
    PointConvertCoordinates (Panel, child, & point, FALSE);
    ListDispose (sortedChildren);
    Return PointToPanel (child, point);
    }

    After you make the change, you will have to recompile the file (Options > create a file object) to regenerate the object file and restart CVI.
