    Hello so for the first time in years I encountered bsod yesterday
    I was not doing anything diff just chrome with youtube and mulitple tabs in chrome as well as firefox
    I am using 8gb ram sometimes before chrome used to frezze but computer never bsod I just have to restart chrome

    I checked minidump file it states this error code ntoskrnl.exe+42b8f0

    cant find much somewhere someone mentioned that it might be bcoz of ram but I tested my ram with memtest86 no errors 4 passes

    crystaldiskinfo shows health unknown
    hdd sentinel shows health 81%

    Can anyone please help me with this one ?

    Thank you In Advance

    According to crystal disk info, your Kingston SSD maybe failing especially since the program cannot correctly assess whether it's good or not. I would recommend buying a new bigger capacity SSD, something around 1-2TB would be fine.

    Its quite low if we compare it with what I used to get When I first Bought it
    upload_2023-5-16_19-36-22.png

    But At that time it was empty
    right now it almost critically full 10gb left
    can that have some impact on these results?

    Only thing you can do is trim the SSD manual and see if that makes a difference if it's almost full should not make a difference to answer your question.

    ps you have the right driver installed for the ssd?

    How did you decide that a bsod is related to your ssd?

    Usually when a machine that has always worked well,, then at the beginning of the summer starts to do weird things, the problem is the temperature (because dried thermal paste or because the radiator or the radiator vents are dirty).

    Not saying is that is your case for sure, but If I were you I would test the CPU/GPU/Chipset temperatures first.

    (OP)
    through minidump file found it is bcoz of page fault issue, specifically the decompression operation, so ram or drive

    FAULTY_HARDWARE_CORRUPTED_PAGE (12b)
    This BugCheck indicates that a single bit error was found in this page. This is a hardware memory error

    I can share minidump file if u want to have a look

    Last time I checked an overheated CPU *IS* a Hardware problem.

    In order

    Is very likely that your problem is thermal

    Is likely that your problem is a faulty RAM

    Is possible that some Vram chip is faulty (that's the worst scenario if we are speaking of a notebook)

    Is very unlikely that has something to do with the SSD

    Check the temps with coretemp or whatever utility is supported by your CPU/Chipset/GPU, if they are suspicious open the thing, repaste the cpu (and/or GPU) and clean the radiators.

    Check also the temperature of your SSD, some models (especially recent high performance NVME units) get hot just like CPU and GPUs

    Just use something like crystal disk info

    If they aren't start to look at RAM. If you have two modules installed check them alternatively removing one of the two. If you have a single module just buy/borrow another one,and test.


    Obviously run something intensive while checking the temperatures.

    If everything of the above fails, check your PC w/o the disk. Just use a bootable media

    Could be a incompatible driver issue are you upgrading or clean install could also be a corrupted ntoskrnl error log seems to be pointing there.

    could be as well. but that's usually easy to exclude, starting in safe mode.

    Not a 100% valid rule, given there are some non PNP drivers that are loaded regardless. But still statistically relevant.

    The first thing I tested was ram only you can check in my original post have stated that my ram passed without any error (4 passes) memtest86
    when you search for error code that is minidump file you mostly get issues regrading ram but thats not the case with me


    so I searched diff websites , discord groups someone stated can it might be bcoz of ssd
    Its a page fault issue, specifically in the decompression operation, so ram or drive should be the culprit

    but I was not sure about the ssd thats why I posted it here to get some help
    regrading temps of ssd it tends to remain in 40-50 degree range


    btw if u want I can test temps of cpu gpu , I am not using high performance nvme its a basic sata m2 ssd
    and yes I am using a laptop


    let me know if u get any Idea regrading my issue

    Thank you

    This is what I am also concerned about I checked driver details in device manager is shows driver date 2006(Laptop is from 2018)
    I just cant find new driver for the drive

    BTW I used to use driver booster to update my drivers
    Can That program by mistake Installed some Incompatible Drivers ? how to check ?
