Windows 7: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD 3/4 times a day.

AlexCop · 05 Feb 2013

Hey,

I've had occasional blue screens before but for the past few weeks I'm getting them a few times a day.
It's mostly PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA but I've also had MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, win32k.sys, DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL and a few days back I had CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION for the first time.

I've tested my RAM and it was fine, ran chkdsk on every partition and it never found any errors, so I have no idea what's causing them.

As I said before, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA is by far the most common.

It'll happen randomly when I'm just browsing the net, or sometimes it'll freeze programs, then when I shut them down it'll immediately bluescreen. Also, sometimes when I reboot after a blue screen it'll totally reset a program like it's just been installed, Skype or Steam for example, I'll have to log in and select all my settings again.

If anyone has idea what I can do please reply!

Thanks.

Hey,

I thought it may have been avast last week and I uninstalled it for a couple of days but was still getting crashes.
Or wouldn't that have deleted the driver too?

Will give it a try and post again if I have more crashes.

Just had another crash, dump file attached to this post.

It looks like the error you are getting has to do with possibly corrupt memory, so please do the following:

First run memtest for atleast 8 passes:

RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Tip: do this overnight it can take a long time.

Also please open an elevated command prompt and run this command:

Code:

sfc /scannow

Hi,

Ran memtest overnight, and found 0 errors.
sfc /scannow also came up with nothing.

Still getting daily crashes

Dsprague · 11 Feb 2013

Pleas see if therer are any updates for your bios and run the following command from an elevated command prompt:

Code:

chkdsk /f /r

next please run through this tutorial on HD diagnostics to ensure there isn't a problem with your drive(s):

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply but I'm still getting blue screens regularly.
I've ran chkdsk several times and it's found nothing, and today I tested both of my drives with SeaTools and every test passed.

Thanks
