Blue Screen After Sleep Mode – Windows Vista

August 4, 2008

Now, if you remember the beginning of this saga, I increased the size of the page file to a minimum of 1000MB and a maximum of 6000MB. I did this because I was getting a blue screen after sleep mode in Windows Vista. The more I look, the more popular I am finding this particular occurrence.

I believe I made this change on Friday. Everything went fine on Friday and all Saturday. I thought the problem had been solved. Sunday morning, I woke up and here is what happened:

– Woke computer up
– Typed password
– The computer hung for a few minutes on the welcome screen
– The blue screen appeared
– After about 30 seconds, the computer automatically went to the black Windows Recovery screen
– The computer started normally

I did manage to write down a few things. At the top of the blue screen, I saw the “kernel_data_inpage_error” message. Then, below, I saw the following code – 0x0000007a. I also saw 9ca4d081, 9ca2e000, 0xc04e5268. I am not sure if those last ones mean anything.

On Sunday evening, something different happened:

– Woke computer
– Types password
– The computer hung for a few minutes
– I was presented with a black screen that didn’t go away
– I had to click the button on the front of the computer to restart it
– The computer started normally

It seems that the longer I let the computer sleep, the more this happens. If I wake it up after a short time, everything is fine.

I called Dell Support again and talked with a different tech. I emailed him the Windows minidump file and he analyzed it. I am not sure it showed him anything new. Then, we ran the Windows diagnostic. Everything was fine there…no hardware issues.

We decided to raise the page file to a minimum of 4602 and a maximum of 6144. I am going to run this for a few days and report back to Dell with what I find.

    Have you tried defragging the pagefile? You can find a utility for it at the sysinternals website. It seemed to help the person in this forum: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt-2000-xp/456612-solved-kernel-data-inpage-error.html

    Hi guys! Base on my experience, the number 1 cause of this problem is your RAM. Hope this help!
