Hey guys, posted this in the windows forum, but noone is even watching it, so thought I'd get a faster response here. Had my new system up and running fine last night.... now it gives me a PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGE AREA bsod when I boot. It even does it when I boot off the windows disk to try to reinstall. Won't boot into safe mode or anything.
 
You can't get into windows? It seems like a virtual memory problem. Reinstall the RAMs. Maybe just install one stick and see if you can boot into windows with that. Also, reinstall the GPU. It could be a memory problem on the gpu. If you have another GPU, test it with that. If not test the ram first

I reset my bios to default, and it's still doing it. I'm new to overclocking, so not sure if everything gets reset in that. I know my cpu is no longer overclocked. It's even giving me the error when I boot off the windows disk. So you think taking the memory out and putting it back in will help?
 
Yup. That's the error I get when my memory is unstable for subzero runs. A little bit more voltage usually does it for me!

ah ok, its still ram error though, and try each stick at a time.

before u overclocked, did the system used to run fine?

Yes. It even ran fine after the overclock. I was gaming for a few hours on it. After I woke up this morning, I booted it, and BSoD. You think increasing the voltage to the memory would help? I have it set at factory settings. 7 8 7 24 and 1.5v

1.65? The memory is 1.5 stock. Again, I'm new to this, so just worried about destroying parts.

As mentioned above, PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA BSOD's are RAM issues 99.9% of the time.

Even if the BIOS is at default, leave everything stock and raise the memory voltage (timings should be to RAM manufacturer's specs) to 1.65, then try again. Then, try loosening those timings if it still BSODs.

Also, might not be an issue, but loosen up your Ven-X if you have it applying at or near maximum pressure. It has been known to bend or slightly put socket pins off-center with their contact points, causing, for example, only 4 GB out of 6 GB to be recognized, etc. Re-arranging your RAM sticks or using a stick at a time might also help; make sure you run Memtest for any errors, as it could always be defective RAM.

On another note, i've had to RMA 2 EVGA E758 mobos in the past, one because the USB ports would randomly die on me (until they did so permanently), and another time because the board would only recognize 2 sticks of RAM, no matter which brands I tried (turned out to be a bent socket pin AND a defective RAM slot). The BSOD you're getting is, again, most likely still a RAM related issue.

Good luck man.

Well, I re-seated the memory and video card. Same error. Gonna try to set memory settings manually.

One thing I noticed. In the description of my memory, it shows 7-8-7-24 2N. The only option in my bios is 2T. Does that effect anything?

EDIT: also try loosening the ven-x if its too tight as mentioned above, i did that once, pc wouldnt even boot.
Think it might be a bad stick. Wouldn't even POST with one of the sticks in there. It posts with the other 2... still bsod though.

Really? It's giving me memory errors. I'm hoping it's just a hard drive.... easiest to replace, lol.

I got it to post... it was seated correctly. Memory appears to be fine. Can anyone confirm a bad hard drive? That would be good, since I want to get a velociraptor anyway.
