BSoD seemingly random occurance

Hi everyone.

I am having a Blue screen of death meltdown. My rig is a custom built by yours truly, for architectural modeling and rendering:

AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
16 GB of DDR3
Geforce GTC 560 with 2gb
Crucial M4 SSD 128GB [win7+program files]
Seagate 3TB 7200rpm [media/storage drive]
currently, the OS is managing page on seagate, and i allotted 8-16gb on ssd for page.

nothing is overclocked. runing smart-er drive software as well for SSD.

The BSoD error is a
KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR

*** STOP: 0x0000007A (0xFFFFF8A0312EF5F0, ....etc)


The BSoD is unable to actually write the crash dump, ending with:
Collecting data for crash dump...
Initializing disk for crash dump...

This last time, it also told me:
volmgr.sys - Address FFFFF88000E2BFD0 base at FFFFF88000E00000, DateStamp 00000000

i am afraid the SSD is failing. it first happened while watching a .mkv video in WMP with some codecs, i think it was divx or ac3. the system will freeze up, first the desktop/gadgets, then the programs one by one, until its full froze (video off seagate still playing but not controlable) and then goes to the BSoD.

I have done system restore back to a day before the crashes. i have removed the mkv file and done full Norton scans (x2) and norton reputation scans, and malwarebytes (x1). I have run checkdisk once and memory check once, but the momory check hung at 99% forever, and the f1 option was not responding, so i took it as a freeze.

Welcome to the W7 forums.

Could you please export the events from the Event Viewer. Zip them and upload it to the forum.

I am not sure of what specifically to look for, so i went to system log, i turned on a filter that omitted the information logs, and for the last 7 days (so including first time, its only been 4 or 5 days). I exported as all 4 formats. Thank you!

Could you please make sure that there is a page file on each of the disks (SSD & HDD).

Let us know when you have please.

Yes, and thank you for your time and help Shintaro.

It is configured for 8192-16384MB on the SSD, System Managed on the 3TB HDD. The total paging file size for all drives dialog at the bottom of the virtual memory window indicates it is currently allocated 24573MB total, meaning that it taking advantage of both drives.

Sorry mate, were the page files already configured on both drives?

Yes, this was the existing configuration when these BSoD's started. I have been changing them a lot depending on space available on the SSD, and about four days before the first BSoD i had just given page file back to the SSD when i removed 40GB of Steam. The system manged page file on the 3TB HDD has been consistent for a while tho, its really just the SSD that i have tweaked occasionally.

I thought you weren't supposed to have a page file on an SSD because of the constant writing & rewriting? I've always heard it's best to move it to the regular HD.

I had not heard that. I assumed it was best on SSD because of the speed for read/write, making the whole system faster. I bought the SSD because given my other specs, the disk drive was my 'speed weakest link' and the need to spin up often gives a little hang.

I had read it before but then I just found this site that says that Microsoft says to leave the paging file...
So nevermind.
