View Full Version : Ram crapping out or perhaps mem controller

As you can see in my sig, my system:
3200 Winnie@2.71Ghz, 1.6V vcore
2x512MB Ram at 271Mhz, 2.5-4-4-7 latencies, (totally stable, looped 100 passes #5 test)
3x HT link = 816Mhz
1.6V AGP\Chipset
Agressive Timings=Disabled
Spread Spectrum=Disabled
ATI\NV override=Disabled
APG fast Writes=Disabled
and so on, I read the Neo2 tips\guide,sticky topic :)
+ I believe that I'm a great ocer

My problem is that I keep getting BSOD, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NOPAGED_AREA caused by nv4_disp.dl_ only* while browsing IE (scrolling down a page) I tried many other forceware drivers. I'm convicted that this bsod is associated with memory, either on-die controller or ram.
Memtest can run forever without any errors
Athlon already has enough juice, 1.6v, I can also run it at 1.53v~1.57v stably
What I noticed is that when u get IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL it is because of cpu voltage being low, but that's not a problem. Does anyone know why I kept getting PAGE_FAULT_IN_NOPAGED_AREA BSOD? I think ondie memory controller is crapping out. I'm I correct? Need some serious help folks. BTW I'm already thinking about Venice core revision
Almost forgot, can play far cry 12 hours straight as well as other games without any problems

You hit your CPU's limit! I honestly believe your problem has nothing to do with your mem controller or your ram; from the sound of things, your mem controller and ram work fine (I know this because you can loop test 5 for hours without errors (for giggles you can try test 8 -- it's a more extensive version of test5)).

I got this same error when I tried to push my chip beyond 2.8ghz. I have a 3200 so the highest multiplier I have is 10. Therefore, if I want to go beyond stock frequency the only option I have is to raise the FSB. And I can push the FSB all day long and run memtest without errors but when I try to load windows with 10x280 (or higher) I got that same error. So I decided to lower my multiplier and boot into windows with the same FSB (280+) and when I did, I never saw an error. This made me realize that my mem controller and ram were not the culprit and I merely hit the max CPU frequency. Sounds to me like your going to have to lower your FSB until you hit a CPU frequency that doesn't generate BSOD's. I know that's not easy to swallow but it's the truth.

Best of luck with your OC.

P.S. Can you prime95 In Place FTT's for days on end at priority 10 with your troublsome CPU frequency? Can you run a SuperPi 32M test successfully with your troublsome CPU frequency ?

Welp, I had the same exact problem when my old GeForce FX 5200 was overheating, and scrolling down a page in IE could, idk, overheat your card? lol. Try taking off your video card heatsink and re-applying some thermal paste.

@NickS

I have a 120mm fan intake blowing at nvidia at 78cmf! certainly not overheating. thanks for the help!!! Temp. stays on 35C idle. :)
EDIT: Got Artic Silver 5 apllied on it

@RollerCam540

Thanks for the help!!! I probably can't get any more mhz out of my winnie! I never thought that I'm pushing my cpu to far, lol. i don't know about prime but I'll try SuperPi 32M and #8 memtest. Thanks for the awesome help, I almost wasted $320 bucks on OCZ DRR600

Will post results soon

cheers :toast:

EDIT: SuperPi 32M fails at 2.71Ghz, #8 Memtest OK!
