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

Question

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.

Use /r, not /p.

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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?

Answer 5

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.
