BSOD on startup - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA
Hello All,
I am experienceing the BSOD PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA. This occurred suddenly while browsing the web on a known SAFE site (browsed from other machines with no issues).
Once it came up, I have been unsuccessful in getting back into Windows at all. I have tried the following:
Safe Mode (all varieties): Failed
Point in time restore (not image backup): Failed
System recovery repair: Failed
Removed memory one by one to eliminate defective memory: Failed
No matter what I try - the BSOD happens on every boot.
This machine is a
Lenovo W520 - 8GB RAM
Windows 7 Pro x64 - OEM
OS is in original condition except for repair attempts noted above (no reinstall).
There *should* be nothing that was done to cause this that I can recall (no driver installs, no new hardware, etc).
Ideally, I would like to be able to run a repair install over the old OS - like we used to do with XP - but I cannot find that option - It looks like Windows will install in a new dir and rename the old - not the outcome I was hoping for.
I'm hoping someone can lead me in the right direction here - I'm out of my element with Windows 7. Please let me know what other info you might need from me if you have any suggestions.
TIA
Mike
