Try updating your Video Card Drivers from the Official Nvidia Site

Nvidia.com

They are up-to-date with the latest driver (306.97) and have been since October.

What I ment to put in was to redownload them, uninstall your drivers, and then use the freshly installed ones to use, the download you had might have been corrupted, as happens sometimes.

If that doesn't fix it, you can try the Beta Drivers, they fix a few issues the latest stable caused.

That is what I did when I couldn't get my 460GTX working. Uninstalled drivers, rebooted, re-installed them. I had been using 306.97 since they came out and I don't think this BSOD is directly related to them as I was getting the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA for a considerable time prior to this.

So, as a re-cap:

1) Checked memory with MemTest86+ - no errors.
2) Uninstalled Daemon Tools Lite (a note on this - I got one PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD directly after freshly installing Windows 8, before Daemon Tools was even installed).
3) Tried to enable Driver Verifier, which resulted in 2 BSOD's which popped up too quick for me to see the error message, and then caused my graphics card to go missing from Device Manager and unusable. Don't have dump files for these because I had to recover Windows and roll back.

Any other avenues I could explore?

Appreciate all the help to date - thanks guys!

Did you run the uninstaller for sptd?

It can be found here, run the installer and choose the uninstall option. Daemon-Tools does not remove this driver file and it is notorious for causing BsoD in both Windows 7 and Windows 8. If you did an upgrade to Windows 8, that driver would still be there, removing it might solve your issue.

No, I did not. I don't know enough about what this is - why exactly is it needed? Is it safe to install? I just download via that link, run and select 'Uninstall' and that should be it?

Code:

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)

BugCheck A, {fffff843efed1318, 2, 0, fffff803efcdf9b0}

Probably caused by : memory_corruption ( nt!MiGetPage+270 )

STOP 0x0000000A: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Uninstall Daemon Tools Lite:

Code:

Start Menu\Programs\DAEMON Tools Lite	Public:Start Menu\Programs\DAEMON Tools Lite	Public

Your not installing it, when you run the installer it will have an option to uninstall, that is what you want. The Daemon-Tools uninstaller doesn't remove that file, which by the way is the one that causes the BsoD with a lot computers.

So to answer your question, download the version for your version of windows 32 or 64 bit, and run it, choosing the uninstall option. When it is done reboot your computer and do whatever you were doing before to cause the BsoD, to see if this fixed the problem.

I used to have an HP DV6-2057cl that would BsoD, and come to find out sptd.sys was causing my issue, I did the steps I just gave you and it fixed the issue.

I downloaded what you suggested, ran it as administrator and it says "No SPTD Version was detected. Select action to be performed"

I then only have an Install button, Uninstall is greyed out.

Daemon Tools has been uninstalled via Programs >> Uninstall a program.

Any other suggestions?

Good, and I can't think of any other suggestions at the moment than just wait and see if you get another BSOD.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Just got Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area BSOD, whilst I was right in the middle of installing Black Ops 2. Files attached. What the hell could this be?!!?
