BSOD originally IRQL_not_less_or_equal is now Page_fault_in_nonpaged
right so after re-installing windows after a video card failure and subsequent hard drive replacement due to murder (I say murder because I accidentally cut the power while windows was reinstalling, seems to have killed that drive) I have an otherwise perfectly functioning computer...except for intermittent BSOD, generally while either gaming or watching video's online although it did once do it just while browsing, no video involved.
The graphics card I am currently using is a cheap Gainward Nvidia 210, passive cooling.
it had been mounted in a PCIe x8 slot (silly mistake, it wants to be in a x16 slot), and I had been getting IRQLs until I changed it over to a x16 slot. I hoped that would solve the IRQL errors...it did...only now I get page_fault_in_nonpaged_area errors. Obviously the video card is the prime suspect but other components in the pc are a few years old now, and it's had it's share of knocks and power cuts. I thought it worth posting the dump files here to make certain before I try and get a refund/raise funds to purchase a decent one.
