Blue screen with this error code: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR, STOP: 0x0000007A

djrules asked on
I get this blue screen error:
   KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
   STOP: 0x0000007A

whenever I resume from hibernation or restart after shut down. I did a clean install of windows 7 couple of months back and have been seeing this problem for last month or so.

Sometimes I also see the following error while resuming from hibernation:
   Boot Device Not Found
   Please install an operating system on your hard disk
   Hard Disk (3F0)

And when I click on Hard Disk Test from System Diagnostics, I see this:
   "Hard Disk Test"  Hard disk not exist

I have no idea whether all these errors are related and caused by the same issue. Also, I hear a kind of clicking noise coming from my laptop and the computer starts slowing down eventually resulting in the blue screen.

All my drivers are up to date and windows is also up to date (installed everything on Windows Update).

Hi djrules,

 

Welcome to Microsoft Answers.


The error code KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR STOP: 0x0000007A states that the requested page of kernel data from the paging file could not be read into memory. It appears that there are some issues with the hard disk.

Use check disk command for any errors on hard disk -

Warning: Microsoft does not recommend interrupting the CHKDSK process. Microsoft does not guarantee the integrity of the disk if the CHKDSK program is interrupted. For safety you can back up your data before using the check disk command.

Use the check disk commands as follows:
 1. Click Start.
 2. In search window type 'cmd' and ENTER. Right click and select 'Run as administrator'.
 3. Type at the command prompt CHKDSK /P and press ENTER to scan the disk.
 4. Then type CHKDSK C: /F /R and press ENTER to repair corrupt sectors, if there are any.

NOTE: The root drive has to be C: and the command may schedule a task at the system startup, if it does, then press Y to schedule a task and restart the computer to perform chkdsk.
Once chkdsk completes, boot to the desktop and then check.

You may refer to the below mentioned link for more details -

Hope this helps. Let us know the results.

Hi. I too have suffered from the same problem of late and followed the advice given above. However, every time I type in CHKDSK/P, I get this response: Invalid perimeter - /P

 

Any suggestions on remedying this will be very much appreciated.

An InPage error mostly means you have an issue with your HDD. Can you upload the dmp fiels from the minidump folder or post all numbers of the BSOD? So we can see the error code and tell you what is wrong.

I'm having the same  error message.   It usually happens either immediately waking after sleep or just after waking and accessing an application.  Seems to have something to do with the startup process after sleeping.

This is an Intel dp35dp motherboard and a fairly new W7 64 install.  The same machine worked fine with vista32 prior to the install.  The hard drive is new but is showing no smart errors. Seems like if it were hard-drive related it wouldn't be happening just after sleep. 

Should also mention that I flashed the BIOS but it didn't seem to help. 

I would love to upload you a minidump but I'm new to technet and its not obvious to me how or where to send the uploads?

Hi,

Check to see if this Hotfix applies to your system.

You receive various Stop error messages in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2 when you try
to resume a computer that has a large SATA hard disk.

The second parameter being - 0xC000009D = The controller does not see the hard drive
due to a bad drive or cabling problem. Check cables to hard drive on both ends if possible.
If a laptop have a real computer shop check it.

The primary causes of this error are virus/malware, drivers, memory, and disk corruption. And there
can even be combinations of those so a thorough check of all is required. Added possible causes are
hardware errors such as damaged motherboard or other hardware.

BCCode: 7A    0x0000007A

Cause

Frequently, you can determine the cause of the KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR bug check from the error status (Parameter 2). Some common status codes include the following:

  • 0xC000009A, or STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES, indicates a lack of nonpaged pool resources.

  • 0xC000009C, or STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR, typically indicates bad blocks (sectors) on the hard disk.

  • 0xC000009D, or STATUS_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED, indicates defective or loose cabling, termination, or that the controller does not see the hard disk.

  • 0xC000016A, or STATUS_DISK_OPERATION_FAILED, indicates bad blocks (sectors) on the hard disk.

  • 0xC0000185, or STATUS_IO_DEVICE_ERROR, indicates improper termination or defective cabling on SCSI devices or that two devices are trying to use the same IRQ.

 

These status codes are the most common ones that have specific causes. For more information about other possible status codes that can be returned, see theNtstatus.h file in the Microsoft Windows Driver Kit (WDK).

Another common cause of this error message is defective hardware or failing RAM.

A virus infection can also cause this bug check.

Resolution

Resolving a bad block problem: An I/O status code of 0xC000009C or 0xC000016A typically indicates that the data could not be read from the disk because of a bad block (sector). If you can restart the computer after the error, Autochk runs automatically and attempts to map the bad sector to prevent it from being used anymore.

If Autochk does not scan the hard disk for errors, you can manually start the disk scanner. RunChkdsk /f /r on the system partition. You must restart the computer before the disk scan begins. If you cannot start the computer because of the error, use the Recovery Console and runChkdsk /r.

Warning   If your system partition is formatted with the FAT file system, the long file names that the Windows operating system uses might be damaged if you use Scandisk or another MS-DOS-based hard disk tool to verify the integrity of your hard disk from MS-DOS. Always use the version of Chkdsk that matches your version of Windows.

Resolving a defective hardware problem: If the I/O status is C0000185 and the paging file is on an SCSI disk, check the disk cabling and SCSI termination for problems.

Resolving a failing RAM problem: Run the hardware diagnostics that the system manufacturer supplies, especially the memory scanner. For more information about these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer.

Check that all the adapter cards in the computer are properly seated. Use an ink eraser or an electrical contact treatment, available at electronics supply stores, to ensure adapter card contacts are clean.

Check the System Log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help identify the device that is causing the error. You can also disable memory caching of the BIOS to try to resolve this error.

Make sure that the latest Windows Service Pack is installed.

If the preceding steps do not resolve the error, take the system motherboard to a repair facility for diagnostic testing. A crack, a scratched trace, or a defective component on the motherboard can cause this error.

Resolving a virus infection: Check your computer for viruses by using any up-to-date, commercial virus scanning software that examines the Master Boot Record of the hard disk. All Windows file systems can be infected by viruses.

=============================

If you need to check for malware here are my recommendations - these will allow you to do
a thorough check and removal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident which can cause as many issues as the malware and maybe harder to detect as the
cause.

No one program can be relied upon to detect and remove all malware. Added that often easy
to detect malware is often accompanied by a much harder to detect and remove payload. So
its better to be overly thorough now than to pay the high price later. Check with these to an
extreme overkill point and then run the cleanup only when you are very sure the system is clean.

These can be done in Safe Mode - repeatedly tap F8 as you boot however you should also run 
them in regular Windows when you can.

Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT, and add Prevx to be sure it is gone.

Memory tests do not catch all errors such as mismatched memory (possible even for sticks
that appear to be identical) and when faster memory is placed in system behind slower memory.
So it is best to also swap sticks in and out to check for those even if all memory tests fail to show
a problem.

To test RAM check here - let it run 4+ hours or so.

Could be a driver related issue though less likely than memory. Update your drivers
manually by looking at System maker and Device maker's sites.

This is my generic how to for proper driver updates :

This utility makes it easy to see which versions are loaded :

DriverView - Free - utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and more.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/driverview.html

For Drivers check System Maker as fallbacks and Device Maker's which are the most current.
Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - write down the make and complete model
of your video adapter - double click - Driver's tab - write down the version info. Now click UPdate
Driver (this may not do anything as MS is far behind certifying drivers) - then Right Click -
Uninstall - REBOOT this will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat that for Network - Network Card (NIC), Wifi, Sound, Mouse and Keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and any other major device drivers you have.

Now go to System Maker's site (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (as rollback) and then Device
Maker's site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI as examples) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates at System Maker's site while there.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - Right Click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.

Always check in Device Manager - Drivers tab to be sure the version you are installing actually
shows up. This is because some drivers rollback before the latest is installed (sound drivers
particularly do this) so install a driver - reboot - check to be sure it is installed and repeat as
needed.

Repeat at Device Makers - BTW at Device Makers DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - check
manually by model.

Manually look at manufacturer's sites for drivers - and Device Maker's sites.

Installing and updating drivers in Windows 7 (updating drivers manually using the methods above
is preferred to ensure the latest drivers from System maker and Device makers are found)
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

If you update drivers manually then it is a good idea to disable Driver Installations in Windows
Updates, this leaves Windows Updates ON however it will not install drivers which will usually be
older and cause issues. If Updates suggests a new driver then HIDE it (Right Click on it) and then
go look for new ones manually if you wish.
