#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : STOP 0x00000050 -- PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA Fix : Catch the driver with Driver Verifier Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-stop-0x50 Run as : Elevated command prompt Expect : 1-2 days of normal use Risk : high Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Consistently the same code and memory tests clean. Read the rollback step BEFORE starting -- Verifier deliberately bugchecks the machine and can leave it unbootable. HOW TO UNDO IT Boot into Safe Mode and run verifier /reset. If Safe Mode will not start either, use WinRE -> Command Prompt and run verifier /reset from there, or use System Restore. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
