Hi there. Realativily new system around 2 months for most components except GPU. Every time I go to shut down the computer I get a BSOD started happening around 2 weeks ago however haven't updated any hardware/drivers which might have caused this. Normally I would try to read the Minidump file created except it's not creating one. Every time ill get the blue screen and it will just hang there and have to hold power button to turn off have tried waiting over an hour but nothing happens. "Kernal data inpage error" was the exception it used. Unsure of what to do please help. System specs OS: Windows 7 64bit Pro CPU: AMD 1090T MOBO: 890FXA-UD5 RAM: 4GB @1600MHz GPU: Sapphire 4850 1Gb Gddr3

Please use Microsoft Skydrive to upload dump files (%systemroot%\minidumps like c:\windows\minidumps) and post a link here. Once done, I will download them and analyze them. If you want to debug dump files without my help, use Windbg and refer to this Microsoft article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315263 This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties or guarantees , and confers no rights.

Check your settings for creating the minidump. Go to Control Panel > System > Advanced and click on the Startup and Recovery Settings button. Make sure something other than (none) is in the Write Debugging Information box, and that there's a path in the Directory box. Then you can upload it as per Mr. X's suggestion. SC Tom

@ SC Tom System is set to create a small dump file (256k) I set the computer to shutdown and the same thing happened BSOD "Kernal data inpage error" and no dump file was created. It just continued to hang on the Blue screen. The last successful BSOD dump created was on the 25th of January 2011 that was driver related and I havent had any since. DXDiag infomation is here. http://cid-36c221e79c769f80.office.live.com/self.aspx/Other/DxDiag.txt Cheers callum0001

Are there any entries in the event log around the time you get the BSOD? I did a Google for "Kernel data inpage error windows 7" and got plenty of hits. If nothing comes of your post here, you might try that, although that's a lot of info to sort through. SC Tom

There have been 10 entries in the event log. All of these events have come from the same source "Kernel-Power" and are all under the Critical tab and all relate to the same problem. This is what I pulled from the log dont know if it helps. - System - Provider [ Name] Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power [ Guid] {331C3B3A-2005-44C2-AC5E-77220C37D6B4} EventID 41 Version 2 Level 1 Task 63 Opcode 0 Keywords 0x8000000000000002 - TimeCreated [ SystemTime] 2011-03-21T03:42:46.988013000Z EventRecordID 120107 Correlation - Execution [ ProcessID] 4 [ ThreadID] 8 Channel System Computer selfcontained - Security [ UserID] S-1-5-18 - EventData BugcheckCode 0 BugcheckParameter1 0x0 BugcheckParameter2 0x0 BugcheckParameter3 0x0 BugcheckParameter4 0x0 SleepInProgress true PowerButtonTimestamp 0

No dump is being created on the BSOD instead it just hangs on the screen and wont continue shutting down.

"Kernal data inpage error" means reading from pagefile fails, so you should check the HDD (cables, the HDD it self). Run a diagnostic tool from your HDD manufacture.

Primary boot hard drive is an OCZ 80 GB revo drive. Couldnt find anything on the OCZ fourms or any support tools for this drive. (Revo drive is a pci e based ssd. THe only connection is straight into the pci-e slot.)

I don't use a SSD. Ask the OCZ support."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" Want to install RSAT on Windows 7 Sp1? Check my HowTo: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=150221

Any idea why it wouldnt be creating a minidump file?

dump data are written the pagefile first before they are writting to the dmps. And your Windows has issue reading data from the pagefile, so you don't get dumps."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" Want to install RSAT on Windows 7 Sp1?

Been getting this bsod as well, I got my pagefile in a 3gb ramdisk drive, makes sense it fails on shutdown I guess.

This is also potentially a failing disk issue, you might check on the SMART stats... http://mikemstech.blogspot.com/2011/12/troubleshooting-0x0000007a.html -- Mike Burr Enterprise High Availability, Disaster Recovery, and Business Continuity Planning Learn to Troubleshoot Windows BSODs
