Vista Ultimate 64 BSOD 0x00000050 PAGED FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA
Hello,
I am having a problem that I have been running into for the past few months. While I am trying to play a game, I will occasionally have a BSOD that calls out 0x0000050 PAGED FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA. After it restarts it brings up the Windows Error reporting and suggests that the soundcard is bad. The steps I have gone through to end this error are the following. 1. Disabled onboard sound, via BIOS. 2. Ran system repair from Vista Install Disk. 3. Uninstalled and deleted soundcard and video card drivers and programs. 4. Ran check disk, memtest and defrag on the computer. 5. Installed a new soundcard. The BSOD has since happened less since installing the new soundcard but it still happens. Here is the setup of my computer to give you an idea of what I am running, I will include the old and new sound cards also. ASUS P5K3 Deluxe/WiFi AP motherboard Intel Core 2 E6550 4 GB Ram (Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333 PC 10666) 2 Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 video cards in Crossfire SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatality Professional (old card) SoundBlaster X-Fi Titanium Fatality Professional PCIe (new card) 2 WD 500GB Sata hard drives Antec TruePower Quattro 850W Any help in resolving this would be appreciated. Thank you, Michael |

Your motherboard seems to have a built in sound capability using a "ADI
SoundMAX ADI1998B" There might be a conflict between this and a plug in sound card, even though it is "disabled". I've had past problems with SB drivers and other sound hardware and drivers. (The first SB card I bought back in the 386 days actually wiped out DMA hardware on a then "state of the art" integrated MBD. Seems the MBD did not completely implement the then used IBM DMA standards) Next, the "2 Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 video cards in Crossfire" may be part of the problem. Usually when I chase such problems, I try starting with as little add on hardware as possible, then add cards one by one. This error may also be caused by flakey RAM. "Michael R.
