    BDOS - Page Fault in Non Paged Area


    Hello, i just got a BSOD right after my browser crashed saying something along the lines of the flash player crashing. It happened really fast so i'm not sure exactly what it said, all i know is i was watching a stream on j.tv. On the blue screen it read Page Fault in Non Paged Area.

    Here are my system specs.
    -Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OEM
    -New install
    -Computer was recently built a month ago
    -Windows was installed the same time

    I've also been having random hard locks, while gaming, idle, or simply browsing a website. I've updated my motherboard BIOS as well as the sound and video drivers and so far i haven't had any hard locks, just the BSOD.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    "It's not a true crash, in the sense that the bluescreen was initiated only because the combination of video driver and video hardware was being unresponsive, and not because of any synchronous processing exception".

    Since Vista, the "Timeout Detection and Recovery" (TDR) components of the OS video subsystem have been capable of doing some truly impressive things to try to recover from issues which would have caused earlier OSs like XP to crash.

    As a last resort, the TDR subsystem sends the video driver a "please restart yourself now!" command and waits a few seconds.

    If there's no response, the OS concludes that the video driver/hardware combo has truly collapsed in a heap, and it fires off that stop 0x116 BSOD.

    If playing with video driver versions hasn't helped, make sure the box is not overheating.

    Try removing a side panel and aiming a big mains fan straight at the motherboard and GPU.

    Run it like that for a few hours or days - long enough to ascertain whether cooler temperatures make a difference.

    If so, it might be as simple as dust buildup and subsequently inadequate cooling.

    I would download cpu-z and gpu-z (both free) and keep an eye on the video temps Let us know if you need help

    Thanks for the quick reply. I switched the bios on the videocard back to factory as well as a clean install of drivers. So hopefully i won't run into that problem anymore. But I just experienced the same hard lock i've been having this past week. I'm not sure if this is the right forum but could the problem be diagnosed with the same type of information i provided in the zip file? Thanks.

    Update, i've included new reports in the attached zip just in case.

    The info in the zip file will help us to diagnose whatever the problem is.

    Are you still having crashes after the BIOS switch?

    I've been gone all day so i'll have to wait and see. But while i was gone i left my computer running memtest and to my surprise it found at least 5 errors. I had it run for around 9 hours i believe.

    Update. I haven't experienced any BSOD's so far but i'm still getting the random hard locks. I ran prime95 only for an hour without any problems. But 30 minutes later while browsing a website my computer hard locks.
