"An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation."

[flexy]

this might be a software issue or resulting from my overclocked PC (dfi lp nf4).....but the thing is i do not HAVE a harddisk partition as drive D:

I have C: (main partition), F: (some FAT32 partition for testing) and DVD/CD drives D: and E: CD-RW

this event appeared just recently (?) so i think it might be a software/driver issue....and the event always happens while boot, right after the NF4 SATA/IDE drivers get initialzed.

What really puzzles me is the "harddisk0\D" since i cant put the "D" anywhere meaningful. (booting from C

XP SP2, dfi lp nf4, Winchester 3500+, 2xOCZ 512MB rev2 plats, Hitachi SATA 7k250

i also want to add i am memtest/OCCT/prime stable...

hey flexy, i have the exact same problem as you with a MSI Neo4 board at stock settings. in fact i just posted a similiar thread in the motherboard section. have you had any luck with the problem? I wonder if the problem is indeed the SW ide drivers from nvidia. BTW...what program does OCCT stand for?

If F: is on your primary hard disk, then it is most likely that partition it is talking about. Try booting to a recovery console and VIEWING using diskpart - that might give more info. Remember, drive letters are only assigned properly after a certain point during boot - so that F: might be derived as D: if the crash happens early enough.

Do you have your pagefile on that volume? My guess would be yes...

What's weird is that I've got the paging operation error even when I didn't have a formatted D: drive (just a raw partition) and the page file was by default on C: I'm starting to wonder if the D actually stands for something else.

I should also mention that FastEddie recommended that I bump my memory voltage up since I have Corsair RAM. Check out his recommendation in the thread I started in the motherboard section:
