Blue Screen - Memory Management


Recommended Posts

Hello, just a couple of minutes ago, I was using my computer when a blue screen popped up with a Memory Management error. What could have happened? All I was doing was browsing the forums and watching a movie.

When the computer finally rebooted, it gave me this info:

Problem signature:

Problem Event Name: BlueScreen

OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3

Locale ID: 1033

Additional information about the problem:

BCCode: 1a

BCP1: 00000030

BCP2: A2C58AE8

BCP3: B0E01000

BCP4: ADEE74C2

OS Version: 6_0_6001

Service Pack: 1_0

Product: 768_1

Files that help describe the problem:

C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini061409-01.dmp

C:\Users\Austin\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-343639-0.sysdata.xml

Ive got blue screens before, but not for memory management. In fact, I have actually sent my computer to HP twice for repair after recieving a blue screen about a hard drive sector.

What could be the problem?

Run either the microsoft ram checker( i think vista has one) or the hp utilities that check ram. Also make sure that all your drivers are up to date.

My HP Health Check utility says the system is fine, and my System Information screen says all system memory is fine.

download this app http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashed and have it analyze the dump file and see what it says.

It said:

Analysis

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crash dump directory: C:\Windows\Minidump

Crash dumps are enabled on your computer.

No crash dumps have been found on your computer

zip the file C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini061409-01.dmp and upload it here.

It wont let me do anything with the file. It says "Access is denied"

A 1A error is hardware related. Here's what I'd do if I were you:

1) Download and run a utility to check your ram (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_enUS326US326&q=memory+checking+software) regardless of what system information is telling you.

2) Check for updated drivers for your video and audio cards (from the OEM websites, not from MS Update)

3) Check for a bios update

If this is the first time you've seen that screen I wouldn't worry TOOOOO much about it, but if it happens again there is a problem somewhere.

The crash dumps are in the Windows folder, so you'd need elevated permissions to do anything in there. If you're trying to create the .zip file in there it won't work (unless the zip program you're using was launched with "Run as administrator").

If you're going to zip files in a Windows folder you might want to first copy the file(s) out of that folder onto your Desktop or wherever, you'll probably get a UAC prompt during the copying.

I had this same blue screen a couple times on Vista SP1.

In my case, this issue was always caused by symevent.sys, which comes with Symantec AntiVirus Corporate. I am running SAV 10.2 (not sure about the .2, though).

Do you have a real-time antivirus running? If yes, which one?

Im using Kaspersky 2009

I see.

My advice to you would be to figure out how to consistently reproduce the problem, and once you do, turn off real-time scanning, and try to reproduce the problem again.

Thats going to be hard to do. I multitask all the time like this, and I have never had this problem before.

try another AV perhaps?in the past kaspersky has caused strange errors n such but perhaps it is happening to you.

Kaspersky is one of the best and most reliable AV utilities and has the fewest problems among major AV programs. Please document your claim that it has caused "strange errors n such".

OP - has the blue screen error repeated?

No, it hasnt. I tried to induce the problem, but nothing will happen.

your crash happens while Superfetch tries to load your most frequently used files into the RAM to cache them.

the first parameter is 0x30 and this one is not documented inside the help of the debugger, so we can't say more about this :(

Have you tried to update to SP2?

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.
    • It's funny when thieves accuse other thieves of stealing. Ai companies just blatantly siphoned all the knowledge of the internet without consent and are now selling it with their service... so excuse me if I find this a bit ironic.
