Kernel Data Inpage Error BSOD

[Crazy Wozza]

HI guys

 

So last week I built my first computer and every things been running fine until this morning. I left my PC on over night to download and install a couple of games on steam (avoiding that traffic management yo) and this morning when i turned on my monitor, I  found I had blue screened some time in the night with a Kernel Data Inpage Error. So reading around i found that there are generally three causes for this kind of bsod

 

1. unstable overclock/over heating

2. hard drive errors

3. memory corruption

 

So for 1. I'm not over clocked yet, 2. disk checks on both my sad boot drive and hdd storage reported no errors and 3 memtest86 is currently 3 passes in with no errors and still going. I'm obviously kind of bummed out to have had a bsod a week in my first system build, as i built this pc cause my old one was crashing on a regular basis and was old and outdated anyways. So my question is, should i be overly concerned, or should I treat this as an isolated computer hiccup?

 

Specs if it helps

i7 4790k

8gb Vengeance pro 2133 mhz

Asus Maximus Ranger vii

crucial m100 256gb ssd

2tb seagate barracuda

evga gtx 980 sc.

 

Thanks guys.

i would suggest you run your pc like normal the next couple of days. If the blue screen does not happen again it was probably something random, if you only have one blue screen in a long time that is usually pretty normal especially for self build pcs. But about the 1. point (unstable overclock/over heating) maybe check the temperatures on the cpu and motherboard (just to be sure) might be a bad cooler mount or something...

@Leonius I'm not so sure it's that to be honest, it idles in it's mid 20s, hits about 60 when under load and averages at around 45 for normal usage such as gaming, but all the same I'll keep a closer eye on it for a while, you never know. don't know why, but blue screens only ever tend to happen for me when I'm not around to see it happen lol. In honesty I'm pretty poorly educated with blue screens, I'm off a mindset that when one happens, more will surely follow, so it's nice to know that you can just get em  out of the blue as one of incidents. Will post back if the issue crops up again.

Please download CrystalDiskInfo and tell us what status it is at, if it is at caution then backup and continue using.

blue screens are the mystery of windows haha ive hat blue screens while running an overclock, but for some reasosn the bsod only occured while overclocked and a certain usb was plugged in... so yes blue screens are weired...

Was having a similar issue with my old computer actually. it one day decided it no longer liked me using usb headsets which meant skype/vent/ts was out of the question if i didn't want to crash mid session, ended up fixing it with a clean os install and updating all my mobo drivers. took me a while to get the the bottom of it though. Weird indeed. Anyways it all seems to be back to normal for the now, except the crash caused steam to forget where it left it's library >.> will give it a couple more days then mark this as solved I guess ^.^

Ok So I had another BSOD today although this one was a different errors, this time i had a process or thread crucial to system operation has ended. As before, i'm finding no errors with Disks or memory so I'm not convinced this is a hardware fault. I ran driver verifier and within a matter of seconds i had a blue screen which blamed IOmap64.sys. From what I have found, this is part of the Asus AI suite 3, and after checking the asus website, I am already running the latest version of this software. So, whats my next step guys?

In that case, run a few cases of memtest86

When i made the post originally, i was running memtest already, i stopped it after 9 passes (roughly 8 hours) and there were no errors there. I tried running driver verifier which caused a blue screen with IOmap64.sys to blame for it, which is as far as i can tell part of asus ai suite 3 so didn't know if removing this from my system was a good idea or not as I'm already running the latest version, so i can't update it.

uninstall ai suite and the coresponding driver and try weather the system runs withouth bsods if it does reintall it and see weather it still works. if uninstalling does not help tell us the next blue screen message

 

Edit: ai suite is really nice but it is not essential for running your computer so try uninstalling it or maybe just reinstall it.

its a minidump analyzer, but be careful when it installs it does try to pay for its self with bloatware!!!! 

 

it should allow you to yrack down the fault
