    Random BSOD when gaming


    I have been getting random blue screen of death when I am playing games. The error on the BSOD is page fault in non paged area. Also my games will randomly crash when I am playing with the error thegame.exe has stopped working. I have ran memtest and have found no errors.

    I'm checking the dumps but I need to confirm:

    1. Do you have Zone Alarm installed on your computer?
    2. Are you overclocking any hardware?

    Problematic software:

    Code:
    Start Menu\Programs\avast! Free Antivirus	Public:Start Menu\Programs\avast! Free Antivirus	Public
    * Avast! antivirus is sometimes known as a cause of BSoDs. Please uninstall it.

    * Download and install MSE (Microsoft security essentials) instead. Run a full scan once updated.
    Microsoft Security Essentials - Free Antivirus for Windows

    * System file checker for repairing any damaged files within windows
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    * To make sure your hard drive is good run
    Disk Check

    * Hard drive test both short and long with
    SeaTools for Windows

    * Get the latest drivers for your video card
    Thanks to FredeGail for the instruction.
    Different culprits pointed towards your NVIDIA Graphics Driver. Driver Sweeper will ensure that you'd have a clean install at the end of the procedure, and by that no leftover files that'd bork the system.

    NVIDIA

    • Make your way to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers and download the latest driver for your card, save it to your desktop for instance
    • Uninstall the Graphic driver you currently have and all its extensions (do not reboot yet)






    • Select all the NVIDIA components and analyse them


    • Clean them, head into Windows without internet and install the driver you've downloaded previously
    Code:
    0: kd> lmvm nvlddmkm
    start             end                 module name
    fffff880`0f0a2000 fffff880`0fdc0000   nvlddmkm T (no symbols)           
        Loaded symbol image file: nvlddmkm.sys
        Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\nvlddmkm.sys

    Post back once done

    Optional:

    * Run Memory test for 8 passes preferably overnight.

    I will run all this when I get back from town in a couple of hours and post the results. I have already ran memtest for 6 passes and had no errors.
