BSOD often at Desktop with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
I have had the same hardware since the past 8 months. Recently I received a replacement of my 560Ti from RMA, and this is the only new piece of hardware in my system. One day I took apart my PC for cleaning. After putting it back, windows did not boot and I had to reformat. After reformatting, I started getting BSODs at the desktop just after 4-5 minutes.
At this point I googled for a solution, the most recommended was memtest. I ran it for 15hrs and 8 passes with no errors. After this test I tried to boot into Windows and in the short time window I was able to schedule a chkdsk on C:, it completed successfully. But the BSODs did not disappear.
I thought of reformatting, and after completion, when I reached the desktop, I got a BSOD with IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Because it was just after a fresh format, I wasn't able to collect the dmp file associated with this BSOD.
At this point, I was in rage. I removed 3 sticks of ram, and the new 560Ti from my system. I also replaced the SATA cable of my HDD.
After this I reformatted and have been able to spend a significant amount of time in Windows without any errors.
Right now I've only installed some of my motherboard drivers, and Waterfox for browsing. I haven't even installed video card drivers yet. I have a USB modem so installed the appropriate software to be able to run it.
My system was overclocked prior to this, and after the first BSOD I dialed back the settings. My system specs are as follows:
AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition (Aftermarket CPU cooler applied)
MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC x2 SLI
ASUS M5A99X EVO
4x2Gb Kingston DDR3 1333Mhz
1Tb Seagate 7200RPM 32Mb Cache
Corsair TX850V2
All the components I disconnected are still disconnected. I'm attaching the dmp files I collected together in a zip file. I will reconnect them once I can pinpoint the problem with my setup.
Attachment 235065
Other than PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA I saw another error, MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
Also, I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Thank you.
