I am using Windows 7 Professional I was working with my computer suddenly hanged and got BSOD with following error:
crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\051212-20092-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntkrnlpa.exe (nt+0xDCD10)
Bugcheck code: 0x7A (0xFFFFFFFFC0415E58, 0xFFFFFFFFC000000E, 0x212CB860, 0xFFFFFFFF82BCB8EB)
Error: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR
file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe
How to solve this problem?

This error indicates a problem during a paging operation usually caused by hardware.Check your hard disk for bad blocks1. right-click your hard drive and select Properties2. select the Tools tab3. click "Check now" for error-checking4. select both "Automatically ix..." and "Scan for and attempt..."* you will be asked to restart your computer for error checkingCheck your hard disk for "health" using SMART e.g. using http://hddscan.com/* some tools may state almost all values as "pre-fail" which is a "normal condition" for a hard drive being used for some time, it simply is oldCheck the cables of your hard disk1. make sure they are properly connected2. try a different (SATA/IDE) port on your motherboardCheck your RAM for errors* Basically you can use any Linux CD you have lying around. Pretty much all of them have a memory test within their boot menu. Or you can get memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com/Other possibilities include a defective or wrong storage controller driver, an too intrusive software (which may include anti virus tools), a damaged storage controller on your motherboard...
