In the process of using a computer, even with not the most active work with it, the user may still encounter all sorts of problems, errors and malfunctions.
There are usually two ways to solve the problem. The user seeks professional help, or tries to find a way out of this situation on his own.
It also largely depends on what kind of problem the user is facing. It is quite possible to fix errors such as 0x0000050 on your own. But for this you need to know what it means, why it appears and what are the ways to deal with it.

What is this mistake
When working with a computer, an error such as 0x0000050 may appear on the screen. Moreover, it is accompanied by the so-called blue screen of death, that is, BDOS. Many users are afraid of this, and do not even try to figure out the situation on their own.
The error is also accompanied by the inscription BSOD Page Fault In Nonpaged Area.
The first thing that is required of the user is to find out the file that caused the problem. Here you can use utilities like BlueScreenView. With its help, the current dumps in the system are displayed. Click on the latter, and a list of the system files that caused the error in question will be displayed. Usually, the problem file is found among the system brothers, but it can also be found in the drivers.
A number of users note that the problem occurs out of the blue. This is also possible. Here it is recommended to remember if new programs and drivers have recently been installed on your computer. Often this error is the result of installing virtual drives, bridges, adapters, etc. All that remains is to remove the driver or software, reinstall it by downloading it from the official website. There is a high probability that the error will go away.
BlueScreenView
If not, you will have to do one of the following procedures.
System files
Faced with an error such as 0x0000050, it is recommended to start by checking the existing system files.
It is important to understand here that the code in question crawls out against a blue background precisely in the process of accessing RAM. Therefore, it is logical to first check the system files. This is due to the fact that when the computer boots, the operating system is loaded at the expense of RAM. The easiest way to check is using the command line. It needs to be opened as an administrator, after which:
- register the standard sfc / scannow command;
- wait for the completion of the check and self-recovery of system files;
- write the following command chkdsk C: / f / r to check the hard disk (the letter of the disk name can be changed, depending on your PC).
This should potentially help. If after this the error continues to appear, move on.
System recovery procedure
Quite a good and often effective way to solve the problem of the blue screen of death and error 0x0000050. To do this, you will need to use the system recovery tool.
This method helps if the problem is with corrupted drivers or system files.
In this case, the instruction will be like this:
- open command prompt by pressing Win and R;
- write in the window that opens “Run command control”;
- or manually go to the control panel;
- select the section called “Recovery”;
- press the start procedure button;
- follow the instructions of the built-in recovery wizard.
At one of the stages, the user will have to choose a suitable restore point. Choose the one for which the error in question did not appear.
Upon completion of the procedure, the computer will not reboot. Just keep in mind that restoring will lead to the fact that programs and saved files that have appeared after the selected point are deleted.
If you see the 0x0000050 blue screen again on a Windows 10, 8, or Windows 7 PC, there are other methods worth trying.
There are a number of other methods and actions that can potentially help in this situation.
Temporary files
Many users ignore the need to at least periodically clean the computer from accumulating temporary files. But they clog and clog the system. Alternatively, the error can occur precisely because of garbage.
An overabundance of temporary files leads to the fact that the program accesses it, and not a new file.
Everything is extremely simple here. You need to install any effective cleaner like CCleaner on your computer, clean the system, and also run a tool to fix errors in the registry.
CCleaner
But even in this case, there is no guarantee that the blue screen of death will disappear, and the error 0x0000050 will no longer bother the user while working with Windows 7.
RAM status
If the error code 0x0000050 continues to bother the user, you can run the procedure for checking the status of the RAM. Moreover, it is not necessary to download and install any additional programs and utilities for this.
The OS also has a decent built-in tool. This requires:
- open the “Run” window by simultaneously pressing the Win and R buttons;
- in the window that opens, register the mdsched command;
- to restart a computer;
- wait for the memory checker to start;
- give time for analysis.
If errors or malfunctions are found, the tool will give an appropriate result.
Those who don’t trust the standard Windows tool can use third-party software.
If you identify problems with the RAM, you will have to replace it.
Driver problem
If the error occurred recently, and you know which driver was installed or updated, try uninstalling it.
You can also try another way. It’s just that different drivers are removed one by one, checking if the problem went away after one or another demolition of the driver.
But the easiest way is to use a utility like WhoCrashed. By opening it and clicking on the analysis button, the specific problem driver will be displayed on the screen. If you find the culprit, simply remove it through the Device Manager, and reinstall the new one. It is advisable to download the driver from the official site.
WhoCrashed
If the problem was on the driver’s side, then after the operations done, the STOP 0x0000050 error should go away completely.
Srvnet.sys file
Previously, for Windows 7 users, a special package was presented on the operating system developer’s website, which was just created to deal with the error in question. After all, the cause was a system file called srvnet.sys.
But since support for Windows 7 was discontinued, now when trying to go to this page and download the pack, the user is simply offered to upgrade to the new version of the operating system.
There is still a solution. You can try this option for users of the seven:
- click on “Start” and go to “Control Panel”;
- select “Update Center”;
- click on the search button at the bottom of the window;
- install whatever is available.
Usually, the installation process starts, and the required update package is also delivered to the computer.
HaxDoor virus infection
It cannot be ruled out that the error in question arose as a result of the penetration of malicious software onto the computer.
This is possible when a blue screen appears with the code 0x0000050 or 0x000008e. If they are displayed often enough, then it is definitely worth checking the system for the HaxDoor virus.
To get started, just open the task manager and see the list of running processes. If among them there is haxdoor or msdmxm.exe, then the fears were confirmed. There is indeed a virus on the computer.
To get rid of it, you will need to force terminate this process and then run any effective antivirus program to remove it later.
Paging file
If the check showed that the problem in the form of a blue screen with an error appears precisely because of one of the following files, then you will need to take appropriate measures.
This list includes the following files:
- sys;
- exe;
- dll;
- sys.
Then you need to do the following:
- run the command line by pressing Win and R at the same time;
- register sysdm.cpl;
- or manually open “System Properties”;
- go to the “Advanced” tab;
- in the “Performance” section, click on “Parameters”;
- back to the “Advanced” tab;
- click on “Change”;
- uncheck the automatic paging file selection box;
- select the option without swap file;
- set changes;
- click on OK.
If the root cause was established correctly, then after the procedure performed, the error should go away.
When torrent is to blame
It also happens that the reason is a fairly popular program for working with torrent trackers in the face of uTorrent.
First, try updating this software if the program has not received fresh updates for a long time. When working with a heavily outdated version, a blue screen of death may well appear showing the error in question.
If such actions did not bring any result, completely uninstall the program, go to the developer’s official website, and install the latest version on your computer.
On Off Charge
When installing drivers from the developer Gigabyte, an at first glance inconspicuous utility called On Off Charge can be installed on the computer.
But it is she who can cause a malfunction of the operating system, which will periodically be thrown onto the blue screen, accompanied by the error 0x0000050.
OnOffCharge
The easiest way is to completely demolish the program and not remember about it. If you actively use this utility, then remove the current version and install the latest edition of the program through the official website of the developer.
The tm.sys and tcpip.sys files
If checking the program dump shows that the reason is precisely in these two files, then one of two scenarios is possible:
- A network bridge between 2 devices has been configured on the computer. Moreover, the second of them is virtual. It is recommended to register the ncpa.cpl command. If the bridge was not configured by you, then you can safely delete it. Also remove the program through which the bridge was created. If you set it up and use it, delete everything and reinstall it;
- Problem from network drivers. Relevant if the first reason is excluded. Then update the adapter drivers.
Again, if none of the options helped, move on.
Video card drivers
If the dump check shows the file atikmdag.sys as the reason, then the reason here lies in a software error in the video card drivers. Here it is recommended to completely uninstall the driver and then reinstall it.
The easiest way to do this is through the device manager. In the section with video adapters, open the properties, then go to the Drivers section, and click the Uninstall button.
If you do this, then the video card will move to the “Other devices” section and will have the Unknown status. Right click on it and click “Update Drivers”.
Core isolation function
Most often on the Windows 10 operating system, this feature is enabled by default. But it is because of it that all sorts of problems often arise, including the error 0x0000050.
To try to solve it, you need to follow several steps:
- press the key combination Win and R;
- in the window that opens, register the regedit command;
- on the left side of the window go to the HKLM folder;
- from it to the System folder;
- then to CurrentControl;
- and then to the Control directory;
- then you need to find the DeviceGuard folder and Scenarios inside it;
- at the end you need a section called HypervisorEnforced …;
- on the right side, where the workspace is located, you need to double-click on the Enable line;
- change the value to 0.
Upon completion of all these manipulations, it remains only to restart your computer or laptop.
When the OS doesn’t want to boot
Some users are faced with the fact that when the blue screen of death appears and the error in question appears, the operating system does not want to boot.
First, you should try to run it through safe mode. Here it is necessary to hold down the F8 button when turning on the computer. First, choose the startup option via Troubleshoot. If the system does not start, then enter it through safe mode.
Next, you need to click on Start, open the control panel and go to the system recovery section. Try to roll back the system to its working state.
If these methods do not give any result, you will have to use a bootable USB flash drive or disk. Through the BOOT menu, change the source from which the boot will occur by selecting the media used (flash drive or disk).
Additional recommendations
You can give just a few more recommendations, which are also able to help out in this situation.
- Get rid of your current version of antivirus program. You can install a completely different antivirus, or uninstall the current one, download the new version and reinstall it.
- Check the hard drive with special third-party utilities. We are talking about the disk on which the operating system is installed.
- If there are several memory dies, move them to other slots. There is also a possibility that when you remove one of the dies, the system will start working normally. Then the reason is in her.
- Start defragmentation procedure. The procedure is standard and routine, but it often helps.
There are more than enough reasons for the appearance of an error such as 0x0000050. At the same time, not every user is independently able to understand why it arose, and also apply all the considered troubleshooting methods.
If you doubt your capabilities, or attempts to restore the normal operation of the system have failed, seek help from qualified specialists.
