Are there any known issues with putting the System Temp files on the RAMDISK? I've had multiple BSOD's with Direct I/O and SCSI configurations of my Ramdisk only when my temp files were located there. I even removed the uac prompt for the primo ramdisk by going local security policy -> local policies -> security options -> User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for admin... to "elevate without prompting". My logic was that windows was preventing the program from completing it's data dump to C: before shutting down but that didn't work.
I'm running windows 8 x64 pro with media center. My rig is an Asus P9X79 Deluxe with 64 gb ram intel 3930k processor. I have an SSD on my C: drive and a raid 8 controller (promise ex8350) attached to 6 drives.
The BSOD's all indicate either BAD_POOL_CALLER or DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL with ntoskrnl.exe being the common culprit.
I've attached one of my 7 minidump files from when I had the temp folder on the RAMDISK.
I've also attached the settings for the disk
It appears I cannot upload files with extension vdd or dmp...

Hi viTRifY13,
Thank you for your feedback!
Could you send the ramdisk settings (.vdd file) and dump file to [email protected]? Thanks.

Re: Windows 8 + Temp Files on RAMDISK
I would like to give an update to my original problem. It turns out that due to having 64 gb's of ram, and having 1 stick of ram being bad, that the ramdisk was mapping to the one bad ram module. It took a lot of memtest86+ runs to determine which of the 8 sticks were bad, but once it was removed from the system, I have had great success with ramdisk. No BSOD's and I am able to move my temp folders back onto the ramdisk.
If anyone else has issues with BSOD's from moving the temp folder to your ramdisk, I would suggest thoroughly testing your memory with memtest86+ to determine if your memory has failed.
