I've had this problem for a few days now and I've been trying to figure out how to fix it, but I'm beat. Here's my SF_Diagnosis logs!
Anyways, I get the BSOD whenever I shutdown or restart my computer, which it'll then restart my computer. In order to turn it off, I have to hold the power button.

I'm getting a BSOD every time i wake my machine from Hibernation or Sleep.
Running Windows 8.1 on Lenovo Thinkpad e540 that is about 2 months old. I'm a developer so have lots of different dev tools installed but it only started happening a week or so ago.
I started having this BSOD after upgrading to win 8 and it is still persist after upgrade to 8.1.
it happens every time I wake the system from sleep. How to pinpoint what triggering it?
Basically about 3 weeks ago I had some computer issues, I figured it was a good time for a couple of upgrades so I replaced the Motherboard, Processor, Power Supply, and I had my Video Card RMA'd by EVGA (excessive coil whine)
I formatted the hard drive (it was a 300GB partition of a 1.5 TB Raid 0) and reinstalled windows 8 to the computer, everything seemed fine for about a week, I took my computer downstairs to hook it up to a TV so my family could watch some Hulu on the big screen and my computer started getting BSOD every few minutes.
I was unsure as to what was causing it so I reinstalled windows again. After the install I was still getting BSOD... so I went out and bought a SATA 120GB SSD and put it in as the primary Hard Drive and installed windows to that drive instead of onto the Raid partition. Same thing, more BSOD...
At this point I have reinstalled 4 times, I tried allowing Windows to fully update everything and tried turning all updates off and manually installing everything myself. More BSOD both ways... in fact at this point when I try to manually install the NVidia drivers they just Fail during the install and wont finish...
Given that the BSOD seem to be either Page Fault in Non Paged area and Bad Pool Header I figured it might be the RAM and ran a MemTest over night, unless I am reading it wrong there were no errors:
My current system specs are:
Full version Windows 8 Pro (not upgraded to 8.1)
Intel i5-4670 CPU (about 3 weeks old)
Gigabyte Z87X-HD3 Motherboard (about 3 weeks old)
2 2GB Corsair 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM (about 5 years old)
EVGA Nvidia GTX 580 3GB video card (just got a RMA replacement about 3 weeks ago)
SoundBlaster XFi PCIE card (About 5 years old)
PCI 4 Drive SATA Raid Controller
120GB SSD Hard Drive (about 1 week old)
4 500 GB Seagate Barracuda single platter Hard drives (SATA, about 3 years old, 1 single and 3 in a Raid 0 Setup)
Corsair TX 650M Power Supply (about 3 weeks old)
DVD RW Drive (SATA, about 5 years old)
So, based on this wall of information, I am suspecting one of 3 things:
1. Might be corruption in the 8GB Thumb drive I am installing my Windows 8 from. ?
2. Might be something with drivers on the computer... after 4 clean reinstalls I don't see how this can be totally it but...
3. Some other hardware on my computer is causing the issue:
- On board sound conflicting with the soundblaster?
- RAID controller?
- Bad GPU / VRAM?
I just had this "page_fault_in_non-paged_area" error show up on a blue screen. It happened right after I woke my laptop up from sleep mode.

Every time I shut down the laptop and close the laptop over, when i try to start it again the BSOD error message "Page fault in nonpaged area (rtwlan.sys)" appears.
I have checked my event viewer and the critical message is a kernal 41 error. - Am not sure if this data is needed but more data rather than less am i right? - the error in event viewer as follows:
- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">

I have updated all the drivers i can via lenovos website and using the automatic search on device manager, all of which they say are up to date.
I have checked a possible cause being the bridging between my wlan and wifi but this doesn't exist i don't think.
I have been getting the infamous BSOD when restarting my laptop with the error message of "page fault in nonpaged area". I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop with an intel i3 2.40ghz processor, 6gb of ram and a 500gb hard drive.
It mostly happens when doing a system restart but occasionally happens
when booting up after the system has been shut down, I have uploaded the zip file that I got from running the SF Debug tool.
For the past few days, my laptop has been crashing upon waking from hibernation. I initially thought it was a trojan or virus, but after poking around more I think its either a HD or driver issue. I installed Who Crashed and Blue Screen View, which mostly return ntoskrnl.exe, but have also thrown in tcpip.sys, AMPPAL.sys, and usbhub.sys. Asus Install seems to think I'm up to date on all the drivers, but after looking at some of these files, I'm not so sure. Dumps attached.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm experiencing a problem after installing Windows 8 on Dell Inspiron N7110.
When I leave my laptop on for a while, it restarts because of a blue screen with the error: 0x00000050; PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA
It only happens when the laptop isn't used but is still on. When I'm working on it this error doesn't occur.
I checked RAM and HDD with Dell Support Center PC Checkup (even RAM stress test) and it shows no errors. Besides the HDD is new, as my old one broke and Dell replaced it.
I updated all my drivers from Dell's Website, so they all supported by windows 8.
I keep getting blue screen all the time, its so frustrating, ive reinstalled for 2nc time now and this error doesnt go away. I dont know what to do, i dont know if it is a hardware problem or a software problem, ive run RAM and HDD tests and passed both. And everytime i get blue screen,the bios reverts to some old settings ive had.

custom built machine :
I7 4770K
32gb ram
Samsung evo pro 256gb ssd
2x gtx 770 sli
the installation was done around end of january, i don't have much running on that computer but games (i have another system for work)
The issue i have is the Paged Pool memory after system is up is at roughly 250mb but keep increasing around 1-2mb per sec and never stops, after roughly 1h uptime, i'm already at 2gb.(after 1day uptime yesterday, i was at 56gb). The non-paged pool is however never an issue and sits between 150mb and 250mb (i would say normal values)
i've read about disabling NDU, disabling killer networks application (my network driver) and many other things but so far still no luck.
New to the Forums, but not new to these errors. been having them for a while now, it's one or the other and happens about once a day or so, but with the fast restarts and such it never sets me back too far, but I still wish to fix this all.
Included is the SF file for your looking purposes.
I just bought a Lenovo Flex 14" and have been getting BSODs out of nowhere, usually after a while of surfing the net.
I thought the ram is flawed so I went back to the store for a new ram and the BSOD problem halted for a week but now it's coming back again.
I have attached the dump log using SR.
I'm getting random BSODs lately. The errors say
"Kernel IN Page error" and "Critical Process Died"
After reboots, some of my software gets reset (i.e. I need to relogin to chrome to get my preferences/plugins back)
My laptop is 2 days old and I went to do a windows update which I had to do and just says 'failure configuring windows features. reverting changes, don't not turn off computer' this also is happening with my other laptop I think it's a bit of a joke that it doesn't work on a brand new laptop..

I am running Windows 8.1 Pro X64. Recently I have noticed that Notification Area Icons for some apps have disappeared.
A reinstall or a repair install sometimes brings them back but then they disappear after a while, and usually after the next reboot.
Have checked forums for the affected products and the only solution offered there is reinstall or repair install. I very much doubt that this issue is down to the products. It is almost certainly a Windows problem but of course Windows Tech Support offers nothing other than the usual banal references to largely irrelevant "how to" articles.
Lenovo laptop with Win 8.1. I uninstalled the pre-installed McAfee anti-virus with:
- Uninstall McAfee in Programs and features
- Reboot
- Run the MCPR McAfee uninstall utility
- Reboot (many times)
With that Windows Defender shows it is running, but there is no Icon in the notification area.Should there be an Icon in the Win 8 notification area, like Security Essentials in Win 7?
How can i make windows 8 show this when clicking an item, i could not find a simple option unless i am loosing my vision

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a new Dell laptop with Windows 8.1 - I work from home & connect to the internet via my home wifi network. The problem I have been experiencing is that my laptop connects to the internet at boot up but then disconnects for several minutes & then re-connects again. This coincides with the Network & Sharing Centre showing a number of Local Area Connections (numbered 3,4,5,6 etc) being created under Unidentified Public Networks. I have tried disabling the LAC's but they re-enable whenever I re-boot & I have the same issues again. My networking knowledge is very limited so how to rectify this issue.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just installed mouse software on my 8.1 Pro laptop. The software starts every time I start my computer and shows an icon in the taskbar. There is one very annoying thing that it does, when I first login to my computer the notification icon for the mouse software pops up a window saying that it's running:
I opened Customize Notification Area to see if I could turn off notifications BUT keep the icon there (so I can right-click it and open the software).
I noticed there is no option to "Show Icon And Hide Notifications".
So the only way i can keep that annoying popup message from appearing every time I login is to hide everything. But then, as I said above, I won't be able to right click the icon and start the software.
Is there a way I can show icons but hide notifications?
I noticed when I was looking at the custom notification area window that there were entries for programs that I no longer have on my machine:
Is there a way to cleanup/remove these?
I disabled all of the OneDrive sync settings on my PC and checked the Startup programs, still OneDrive icon shows. How to get rid of this?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have installed a new program (Soundswitch) that I want to keep and I need it running in the background. What I don't need is the icon in the notification area. I only use the program's keyboard shortcut and have no need for the GUI. I keep my notification area very clean and only have icons for the three things I actually use in it. Most programs offer a way to disable their own notification icon, but this one does not. And, unfortunately, hiding the icon through the Windows 8 options created another icon (arrow), which I don't want either.
Is there a way that I can keep the program running but have the icon removed from the notification area?
This is an absolute CLASSIC example of a TOTALLY BOVINE use of Metro - replacing the old accessories==>calculator by the Metro Calculator.
The wretched thing works Totally in Full screen -- what use is that to Man or Beast - especially if you have a Form or some text (not spread sheets) on your screen and you need to refer to them for your calculations.. What you need is a POPUP calculator that they had from the first versions of Windows 3 until Windows 7.
The calculator could also be useful as a popup on TOUCH screens too if you need it - but the stupid full screen thing -- totally useless.
I as actually quite surprised when I searched calculator and it operated like that. - Normally I use a nice calculator app on my mobile phone - but the battery is empty so I need the computer !!!. how to you take a screenshot of a small area on the screen.
Windows 8.1 upgraded from windows 8
So far I have Clicked the arrow to view Hidden icons (it is not visible)Click on Customize to Show icons and notifications (AVAST is not even on the list)Opened Action Center to see that AVAST is turned on and up to date
It was there and then it's gone. I have uninstalled it and then installed a new copy from a fresh download. Maybe this is something new but I feel a lot more secure with the icons showing.
How to see other computer(s) in a free wifi spot area?
The case: We have here 2 laptops (Windows 8) side by side in free wifi spot . I know that in such spots, for safety purposes I have to set my laptop not to share and mine is set accordingly.
But how can I see the other laptop next to mine on my own screen? It is my mom's brand new laptop. It is not set for safe hot spot browsing by default. So, I should be able to see it, but how?
So, question is how to set my laptop to show my mom's laptop sitting next to mine? I believe something must be set in control panels, perhaps?
