Re: another page fault that i am not able to debug (u rgent help required)

Some nonpagable code has attempted to access memory that isn’t present. The
memory might be pagable, or it could be a completely bogus pointer. The
stack trace and addresses should help you to figure out why this happened.

(urgent help required)

Hi
a system thread runs at dispatch or passive level. So i thought
anything executed from within a system thread is bound to be running
at the same irql except ofcours something like acquring a spin lock which
raises its irql or an explicit call to raise ur irql
By any means now i am experiencing the following problem:
PAGED_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA. i searched the documentation and found
that it meant ur are accessing(read/write) some prohibited area.
Is there any way that i can know what actually is causing this??
the stack does not show anything meaningfull results. at the time of the
fault
the address written/read is shown as well as the who wrote is shown in the
form
of an address. How can that be used to debug

Pls Help

thanks
mayank

You misunderstand what a system thread guarantees (very little). IRQL
has nothing to do with it.

Did you use to work in a different OS?
