Alright this problem has finally gotten annoying and it seems like a stumper so far. I recently built a new rig (specs at the end of post) and have been experiencing a weird issue. When i'm here during the week I usually leave my rig on and everything works fine and dandy. However, when I leave for the weekends I generally power the rig off (full shutdown but leave cables plugged in).
The problem comes when I return and start the computer up from cold boot. The OS boots up just fine but in under five minutes I receive a BSOD stating "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area". When I finally get the computer booted up, I generally get another blue screen with the same error. Finally, if I restart the computer a number of times and force through the errors, everything runs just fine until the next cold boot.
I have run Prime95 and Memtest 86+ for a number of hours to check for system stability and everything seems to work out just fine. I have also reformatted twice since the build (to try and rule out the possibility of a virus or software error).
A few side notes:
- When I first built the system, I powered on for the first time, ran Memtest 86+ and received numerous errors. I flashed and updated the BIOS, loaded optimized defaults, and could then run Memtest 86+ without errors.
- This memory is not officially supported by EVGA. I also know that my motherboard (the LGA1156 P55) does not support triple channel memory. However, when I run CPU-Z it reports the memory as triple channel.
I am not sure where to start since this problem only seems to occur on cold boots. I'd like to try and snuff out this problem without randomly buying and/or replacing hardware since the rig destroyed my budget to begin with. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
