kato4174 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hey all and RAMGUY, Purchased this kit in March for new build and finally got around to building. Not new to this!! Finished build today and in bios the amount of mem was 4 gigs. Checked around the internet and just found out the issues with the Dominator GTs. Tested all 3 sticks and found the culprit. Probably need RMA, what are my options. Please help. Thanks. Jerry Eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Here is my story...... At the moment the system is clean. I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit retail. I boot from the dvd and during the copying files it BSOD's with this message: Page_Fault_in_Nonpaged_Area Stop: 0x00000050 This happens consistingly. Also, I mentioned my build but have only installed minimal components to try and isolate the problem. BSOD still occurs. I also ran memtest for 5hours but did not produce any errors. With all this, doing research on the net still points to the ram. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 I have moved your post from your other thread to this one. Please do not start multiple threads on the same topic. Also, you need to list all of the settings you have made in the BIOS for RAM, CPU, and voltages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Sorry i missed that. All setting are stock. Mem is using the intel profile. CPU is set to auto and voltage is default.....everything stock!! THANKS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Sorry i missed that. All setting are stock. Mem is using the intel profile. CPU is set to auto and voltage is default.....everything stock!! THANKS!!No harm done. I thought the 2 threads might be relevent since you are on your 2nd kit of memory with this same system. It's easier to find the old info if it's all in 1 place. So, do I understand correctly that your memory is set to use the XMP profile? Also, describe exactly when the error or errors occur and what you are doing at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yes it is set t XMP. Well basically i am trying to perform a fresh install of windows 7 ultimate 64bit retail. During the portion where it is expanding files I get a BSOD. Page_Fault_in_Nonpaged_Area Stop: 0x00000050 And thats the furthest i get.....been driving me crazy that i cant figure it out. thanks yellowbeard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to run RAID-0? If yes, are you loading the RAID driver when prompted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 yes i am using raid 0. no i am not, it doesnt ask for drivers and it does recognize my array. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 out of curiosity could it be AHCI in bios?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 No, your BIOS needs to show the controller in RAID mode or you cannot do RAID. During the Windows 7 install at the point where you select the installation location, you have to add a driver for the OS to be able to see the RAID array. These drivers are on your disk that came with your board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 i believe on previous versions of windows the drivers are necessary but not in windows 7. It detects the raid 0 array without intervention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It detects the raid 0 array without intervention. I can tell you for an absolute fact the driver is necessary when in RAID mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 but when it asks to select where to install i see my array, without installing any raid drivers. i do not install any raid drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 it is definitely in raid mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 to be sure, you are referring to the "Press F6 to install drivers" during the beginning of install right?? if so, windows 7 does not require it, at least not with the EVGA X58 Classified mobo.

kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 windows 7 already has the drivers is what i mean....thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 but when it asks to select where to install i see my array, without installing any raid drivers. i do not install any raid drivers. Please accept my apology ahead of time if I am rude. But, you came here asking for help and I am telling you what is wrong with your install process. I don't understand why we're still posting about this. In the time we have been replying back and forth here, you could have resolved this and had the OS installed. I have installed Windows 7 to RAID-0 arrays in excess of 25 times. I've done it twice in the last 10 days. YOU NEED TO ADD THE DRIVER!!! THAT'S WHY IT'S ON THE DRIVER DISK! This is also why Windows 7 has the option to add the driver, as seen below. Windows 7 can see your array prior to driver installation but, it CANNOT address the controller properly without the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 by all means i am not thinking your being rude.....i stand mistaken......on your screen shot i just goto new and create a partition and move on to the install process and thats when i get the BSOD......thank you for bringing it to my attention as i would have not even looked at that.....i will try that and let u know the results.....thanks for the help i really appreciate it.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 25, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 25, 2009 I assume that you have the system working now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 RAMGUY, nope just tried it about 15mins ago and i still get the stop error. please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kato4174 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 also, when using the raid driver as yellowbeard suggested i received another stop error code as well. stop: 0x0000007F looked it up and supposedly leads to hardware failure.

Yellowbeard Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Try these steps: Enter Intel RAID utility, delete RAID array. Reboot, set disk controller to IDE mode. Reboot to Win7 install and see if OS will install to single drive in IDE mode. Repeat with the other HD. You don't have to go all the way thru the install process. You are just verifying that you have working HDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
