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:

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?

    • Of course the problem was Secure Boot's new certificates. Install media created by the official Media Creation Tool is already signed with a valid certificate from Microsoft, so maybe that certificate isn't "up-to-date" enough for machines with the new ones installed in the UEFI. There's really no other logical explanation.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation by Taras Buria Story time. A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a very odd thing with my computers. I was trying to reinstall Windows 11 on my primary device, and everything was going smoothly until the installer performed the first restart. After that, my computer entered the boot disk selection screen instead of continuing the setup process. Huh, that's odd, said I, and selected Windows Boot Manager only to see it fall back into the same screen right away. Then I tried booting from the USB drive with the same result—the PC kept returning to the boot device selection screen, and removing the drive would send my PC to UEFI, again, with no way to launch Windows 11. I fired up my spare laptop, which has been sitting unused for quite a while, to see if I am dealing with a defective USB drive. Nope, Windows 11 installed and started without issues. After trying another drive and checking all the possible settings in UEFI, I decided to try disabling Secure Boot. Lo and behold, Windows 11 started as it should have been in the first place, continued the setup process, and reached the initial setup screen. Victory! After I finished the setup and applied all updates, I re-enabled Secure Boot, and Windows 11 started without issues. Some time later, I tried reinstalling Windows 11 on my laptop only to experience similar issues, with UEFI claiming a Secure Boot violation. I checked whether the drive works on my main PC, and yes, it installed Windows 11 without errors. I scratched my head, went to UEFI, turned off Secure Boot, and installed Windows 11 without issues. After that, I enabled Secure Boot. Note: I used the official Media Creation Tool app for my USB drive. Also, UEFI was properly configured for Windows 11, including no Legacy Mode, a GPT-partitioned drive, and TPM and Secure Boot enabled. From my experience, if you are dealing with similar symptoms, I recommend two things: If you use old Windows 11 install media, create a new one with the latest Windows 11 release, especially if you know your PC already has the latest Secure Boot certificates. If you cannot create a new one, turn off Secure Boot, complete the installation, download all available updates, and then re-enable Secure Boot in UEFI. Note that you need to turn off Secure Boot after installing Windows 11. Otherwise, the installer won't run, claiming a hardware requirements mismatch. I believe the problem hides in Secure Boot certificates that expire this month. Microsoft is currently rolling out new certificates, and maybe a mismatch was causing these issues for both of my systems. I am out of my depth to make a definitive statement; this article is flagged as "Opinion," as I only share my experience and some tips on how to fix the problem. If some of you possess deeper knowledge and understanding of the situation, please share it in the comments. As for everyone else struggling with computers not booting after a clean install, the two steps above should get you out of the pickle.
    • I gave the tool a chance the other day to make a USB. An hour later it was stuck at 0% downloaded. I downloaded the official ISO, downloaded Rufus, and made the USB myself in 15 min.
    • <Moved to software discussion and support> I've got fond memories of Winamp. Changing the skins, the different visualisations etc. But now I just need a simple music player. MSN messenger would be another one, MSN Messenger Plus (I think?) offered so many different plugins. But again, it probably wouldn't work for me these days. And then there is miRC. i think it's still going these days, but lord i had fun with that back in the day. Now it's mostly stuff like Discord, WhatsApp group chats, Signal, Telegram... /me is showing his age...
