Two different BSOD's, unpredictable timing

Hey guys,

First time poster here, I've always managed to fix everything myself with a little Googling, but this one's got me beaten.

I've got two different BSODs, one of which is the "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", and the other always reboots so quickly that I don't have time to even read the error code.

I've attached the logs below, help would be much appreciated :)

Thanks!

EDIT - Added another set of logs from the "dm log collector.exe" tool

Hi Gapper100 & Welcome to the forums ^_^,

I have analysed your dump files and below has been provided an analysis of the same for informative purposes :-
First of all, let's check out the Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area which means that a driver referenced invalid system memory. Let's first check the stack -
Code:
1: kd> k
Child-SP          RetAddr           Call Site
ffffd000`21e06188 fffff800`ce984a7f nt!KeBugCheckEx

ffffd000`21e06508 fffff800`ce889831 nt!memcpy+0xa5
ffffd000`21e06510 fffff800`ce88b06c nt!IopCompleteRequest+0x551
ffffd000`21e06620 fffff800`268736c9 nt!IopfCompleteRequest+0x7fc
ffffd000`21e06730 00000000`00000156[COLOR=#FF0000][B] copperhd+[/B][/COLOR]0x16c9
ffffd000`21e06738 00000000`00000000 0x156
Hmm, so what is "copperhd.sys"? It is your Razer DiamondBack's Driver. Now, Razer devices are very famous to cause BSOD's especially the drivers from 2009. Let's check the driver date of this one -
Code:
1: kd> lmvm copperhd
start             end                 module name
fffff800`26872000 fffff800`26875800   copperhd T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: copperhd.sys
    Image path: copperhd.sys
    Image name: copperhd.sys
    Timestamp:        Tue Nov 10 13:20:17 [COLOR=#0000FF][B]2009[/B][/COLOR] (4AF91B39)
    CheckSum:         0000ECB0
    ImageSize:        00003800
    Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4
And there we have it.
Now, let us have a look at the other dump file which is the KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED which means that a Kernel Mode Exception was generated which could not be handled or caught by the Exception Handler. Let us take a look at the stack of this dump file -
Code:
2: kd> k
Child-SP          RetAddr           Call Site
ffffd001`3c372728 fffff800`98c5aefb nt!KeBugCheckEx
ffffd001`3c372730 fffff800`98be4846 nt!KiFatalFilter+0x1f
ffffd001`3c372770 fffff800`98bc2d56 nt! ?? ::FNODOBFM::`string'+0x696
ffffd001`3c3727b0 fffff800`98bdb1ed nt!_C_specific_handler+0x86

ffffd001`3c372850 fffff800`98b6725f nt!RtlDispatchException+0x1a5
ffffd001`3c372f20 fffff800`98bdf8c2 nt!KiDispatchException+0x61f
ffffd001`3c373610 fffff800`98bde014 nt!KiExceptionDispatch+0xc2
ffffd001`3c3737f0 fffff801`0c6a2c1a nt!KiPageFault+0x214
ffffd001`3c373988 fffff801`0c67005a[COLOR=#FF0000][B] e1i63x64[/B][/COLOR]+0x4fc1a
ffffd001`3c373990 ffffe001`6f48d000 e1i63x64+0x1d05a
ffffd001`3c373998 00000000`00002000 0xffffe001`6f48d000
ffffd001`3c3739a0 00000000`00000000 0x2000
So, in this case there is the presence of your Intel Gigabit Adapter which caused a Page Fault.
Code:
2: kd> lmvm e1i63x64
start             end                 module name
fffff801`0c653000 fffff801`0c6c7000   e1i63x64 T (no symbols)           
    Loaded symbol image file: e1i63x64.sys
    Image path: e1i63x64.sys
    Image name: e1i63x64.sys
    Timestamp:        Wed Mar 20 13:07:29 [U][B]2013[/B][/U] (51496739)
    CheckSum:         0007FF34
    ImageSize:        00074000
    Translations:     0000.04b0 0000.04e4 0409.04b0 0409.04e4

So, according to the above analysis :-

  • Please either remove your Razer DiamondBack (Physically Detach it from the system) or find an updated version of the driver which is compatible with the Windows 8.1. You can visit **THIS** link for more information.
  • Please find an updated version for your Intel Gigabit Adapter. You can visit **THIS** link for more information.


Let me know how it goes ^_^

Hey blueelvis,

Thank you so much for your reply! I've addressed both issues as follows. I've removed my Razer Copperhead and replaced it with a Roccat Kova+ I still had lying around, deinstalled al the Razer drivers and installed the Roccat ones. So as far as the mouse is concerned, that should be fixed.

As for the ethernet drivers, I downloaded and installed the 64-bit version of this file, so I think that should be okay as well.

I suppose all I can do now is wait and see if it happens again. If so, I'll post here, but until then; thank you very much! :)

Unfortunately, I had another BSOD this morning... I was not even using the PC, it was just sitting there, locked (Win-key + L) when it suddenly crashed, rebooted, and gave me the black screen saying "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device" (you know the screen).

Absolutely no idea what's going on. Attached another set of logs to this post, would be amazing if you could take another look.

Thanks again :)

EDIT - I see AMD released a 14.9.1 beta driver update, because some users reported crashes and/or BSOD's with 14.9. This might solve it, so I'm going to try installing those, will keep you posted.

Hi Gapper100 ^_^,

Unfortunately, the dump files contained by the ZIP File is not the latest. It points to your earlier issue. Can you manually check if there are new Dump files in the folder - "C:\Windows\Minidumps\" or is there a big memory Dump at the path "C:\Windows\Memory.DMP" which has the latest time stamp?

Are you sure that the BSOD Happened?

Let me know how it goes ^_^

Hey blueelvis,

It appears you're right: Neither the "C:\Windows\Minidump\" folder, nor the "C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP" contains a log that is newer than 29-09-2014. I'm sure it crashed, twice even, but it must have been something other than a BSOD then.

However, since I flashed those updated drivers I mentioned above (AMD Catalyst 14.9.1 beta drivers), no crashes have occurred whatsoever. So I think that must have been it.

Thanks again for looking into this! Let's hope everything is settled now :)
