    Page Fault in Area during startup
    « on: July 16, 2017, 05:18:51 PM »
    Something happened with my Dell Inspiron 7559 laptop. At first, it didn't detect a HDD. So I bought a new SSD and a USB boot drive( windows 10). Now I keep getting Page Fault when starting up computer when I use legacy boot mode.


    When I use the default boot mode, I get no bootable device found. Then, I installed windows 10 on the clean SSD with a different computer, still getting Page Fault and no bootable device found
    Searching up online, I found that I should disable cache. But I am unable to do so in my bios. Can't change those system settings.


    Is it my motherboard/cache thats broken?
    Thanl you

    The Dell Inspiron 7559 laptop is an expensive machine.  Refurbished, it can be from $600 and up. So I can understand the need to fix it and not scrap it.

    Failure to  install Windows 10 properly may indicate a major hardware failure beyound a memory glitch. Posible chip set failure, or clock failure. ( I don't mean the clock taht gives you the time of day, I mean the subsystem taht puts the CPU and the buss at the correct frequencies.)  If the failure is tracable to the motherboard, it is a job for the Dell factory.

    Some motherboard issues have been reported on the Dell forums.

    Just saying it might be the motherboard.

      No I have not. I did the memory diagnostics and general diagnostics and nothing faulty turned up. Can it still be the memory? I can buy one from Amazon and return it if it doesn't fix. Thank you


      I am now getting Memory management when I try to boot from USB to install windows

      If you look at the Dell forum links I gave, you will find that model has motherboard issues. There is no simple fix once you go beyond power supply. RAM and GPU.
      Some of the Intel CPU s wee bad.
      I am not allowed to say that.
      So I did not say hat.  :P
