Not sure if this is the right fix? We've added this issue to our memory dump diagnostic which can confirm.

Symptoms

When Windows tries to back up registry hives on a computer that is running Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Windows Server 2008 SP2, the computer crashes. Additionally, you receive the following Stop error message:

Stop 0x00000050 (parameter1, 00000000, parameter3, 00000000)PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Note The parameters in the error message vary, depending on the configuration of the computer.

Cause

This issue occurs because the registry subsystem unmaps a view that is being used when the registry is large and when memory contention occurs.Note Windows backs up registry hives automatically.

Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • Service Pack 1 is integrated into the release version of Windows Server 2008. Therefore, RTM milestone files apply only to Windows Vista. RTM milestone files have a 6.0.0000.xxxxxx version number.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 and for Windows Vista" section. MUM files and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintaining the state of the updated component.
