BSOD "page fault in nonpaged area" 0x00000050

BSOD "page fault in nonpaged area" on a Toshiba G30 laptop with 1G ram. XP SP2. Event viewer says "The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.  The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xb6a26070, 0x00000001, 0x804da12e, 0x00000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP." Can't get any further than safe mode. No new hardware / software etc. Please help asap.

If you are able to get into safe mode then it is probably a buggy or malicious(read virus or trojan) driver causing the issue.
While in safe mode check the event viewer in the control panel-->administrative tools for indications of what may be implicated. Post any recent events marked red, here.

Here are some 0x50 troubleshooting guidelines. http://www.aumha.org/a/stop.php#0x50

Take a look in the red line and try the solution:

If you can't boot at all, try to press F8 at the startup and go into safe mode command prompt only. This will let you run the chkdsk /r
Havent tried that yet. Thanks. Will keep you posted.
Ran CHKDSK in safe mode. rebooted and got same BSOD with same error - 0x00000050 (0xb6a26070, 0x00000001, 0x804da12e, 0x00000000)
Hi,
If you have access to another pc to download a file.

Try running this tool in safe mode.
Download SDFix and save it to your desktop.
http://downloads.andymanchesta.com/RemovalTools/SDFix.zip

Double click SDFix.exe and it will extract the files to %systemdrive%
(Drive that contains the Windows Directory, typically C:\SDFix)

Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

* Restart your computer
* After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
*  Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
*  Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
*  Choose your usual account.

*  Open the extracted folder and double click "RunThis.bat" to start the script.
*  Type "Y" to begin the script.
*  It will remove the Trojan Services then make some repairs to the registry and prompt you to press any key to Reboot.
*  Press any Key and it will restart the PC.
*  Your system will take longer that normal to restart as the fixtool will be running and removing files.
*  When the desktop loads the Fixtool will complete the removal and display "Finished", then press any key to end the script and load your desktop icons.
*  Finally open the SDFix folder on your desktop and copy and paste the contents of the results file "Report.txt" back


Or, this one maybe, or a Hijackthis log

OK gamergirl. 3.30am pacific time though. Will sleep on it and get back to you.
         Please upload that dmp file to www.ee-stuff.com for us to analyze

Sometimes the error you describe is related to the swap file (page file). One possible test as part of the troubleshooting, is to remove the swap file and then re-create one, using a (not too big) fixed size for it. That will probably cause it to use other parts of disk surface and it may help. A thorough hard drive test, as suggested already, is of course of the essence. Chkdsk is not the right tool for this; AFAIK. It checks the file system but not the surface, I think.

Can i do a harddrive test in safe mode ?
If so, whats the best online harddrive test i can get (are there any good ones that are free)

You can have a try for that software provided by the manufacturer (base on your HD manufacturer) .... hope that help ...... And make sure you backup those important files before you test it out.
Yo gamergirl,
Here's the report txt from SDFix:
SDFix: Version 1.95

Restoring Windows Registry Values
Restoring Windows Default Hosts File
Is that all? that doesn't seem right, even if it didn't find anything that report is awfully short and looks incomplete, :)

You've ruled-out hardware/software or driver issues?
Can you try and run another tool?

Stunning. I can only say that the amount of HKLM\...\Run  and HKCU\....\Run keys is just huge. I usually aim for <5 such entries. The possibility of a software incompatibility is not unthinkable here. Some sort of cleanout would be my first move.

OK. I'm fully ignorant. Talk me through "cleanout".
OK, I'm a bit rabid when it comes to autostarting items, which is what those entries are. My view may not be representative of the normal view among windows users. However, the principle is that you identify the crucial processes (for a laptop, that would in my view include the touchpad driver (SyntpEnh), the wireless driver if you are on wireless network, and the antivirus) and then you delete the rest of the keys.

However, messing with the registry may cause odd effects; if something important is removed from here, some functions you like may disappear. I can't expand on this until later today, so perhaps someone with a more sensible view on autostart may be able to helt you before that.
Cheers

I concur with last post, I've found these to generally be RAM related.  Crack the case, clean the board, if more than one RAM module; try booting with one stick at a time, make sure both sticks are ID'd in the BIOS, delete the page file and then recreate it.
