Hi guys. I have a new problem. Yesterday, I was trying to start my old Asus laptop. All seemed well but after a few minutes after startup, a blue screen occurs showing error code 0x000007a or KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR. I had no idea what could've caused it. I tried to run checkdisk but it didn't solve my problem. I also set my virtual memory paging file to automatic because, last time i had my paging file set to 6144 mb. What could i do to solve this problem? I wouldn't want to buy a new one because, i only use this laptop for downloading. It also said something about "volmgr.sys" at the bottom of the blue screen.

here are my specs:
4gb ram
Intel i3-2330m 2.20ghz
Nvidia Geforce GT 520M

KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
means a device driver could not read from storage for some reason.

it could be a bad connection of the drive, it could be driver corrupting another drivers data that causes a bad memory address to be read. overclocking, and overheating can also cause this problem.
drives that are starting to fail would also cause this problem.

I would start by downloading crystaldiskinfo.exe and run it to look at the smart data for the drive just to get an idea if your drive is failing. (most likely cause for a laptop with a Hard disk drive)

you could run memtest86 on its own boot image to see if the memory system is working as expected (no errors)

blow out dust from fan or exhaust ports if you can. Make sure fans are...

blow out dust from fan or exhaust ports if you can. Make sure fans are spinning to prevent overheating.

check the connection of the drive to the cable or motherboard slot. (generally the system will not boot if it is disconnected)

with HDD that are failing you sometimes have to do a full format of the drive and reinstall the system.
if you have windows 10, it will try to make repairs to fix this type of problems windows 7 does not.

if the error is in the pagefile.sys you can disable the virtual memory, then rename the hidden c:pagefile.sys to c:\pagefile.old reboot and turn on the virtual memory to create a new one on disk.

there are malware programs that hide in the pagefile.sys and cause this error. run Malwarebytes to check

Hey friend. I tried what you said on downloading crystakdiskinfo and i found 2 IDs with a yellow circle that means "caution".
those 2 are: C5 current pending sector count and C6 Uncorrectable sector count. Both show 100 current and worst. good When i boot windows normally, the problem seems fixed and again,after a few minutes, another BSoD occurs showing stop error 0x000007A again. I've checked my hard drive and my motherboard and didn't seem to find anything. The fan is clean and there is no dust anywhere.
