    Various BSOD errors during normal use and sleep


    Latest Error Message: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

    Hi. I upgraded my computer a few weeks ago with a new motherboard, CPU, RAM, and SSD, and lately I have been having various BSOD errors. They seem to happen at random, and often I will come back to my computer with it having the BSOD error message up (or, before I changed it, the computer restarted saying that it crashed). I have updated my BIOS and reinstalled my drivers (with the exception of the Intel VGA driver which will not install). I have reinstalled Windows several times and updated to SP1 (I had trouble with errors when installing SP1, but those were fixed when I reinstalled Windows).

    I have search around for an answer, both on these forums and through Google, but all the solutions to the problem seem to be specific to the computer and the dump, so I decided to make an account and a post. Any information would be useful! Thanks in advance!

    Is the firmware of your SSD up to date?

    Perform a clean install of the above Atheros driver.

    METHOD:
    Click on the Start ► Control Panel ► Programs ► Uninstall a program ► Uninstall everything related to; ATHEROS & restart the computer. Delete remnants of its drivers/older drivers using Driver Fusion/Sweeper
    Atheros Driver:

    If its wireless, match your device from here:

    If its not a wireless, match your device from here:

    Perform a System File Check:
    • Click on the start
    • Type CMD on Search
    • Left click and Run as Administrator
    • Type SFC /scannow

    Full tutorial here:

    Disk Check on your hard drive for file system errors and bad sectors on it:

    If this does not bring stability, test the RAM.

    Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.

    The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.

    Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.

    If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.

    1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes.
    *Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.
    If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.

    2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot.
    *If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.
    *If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.
    3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot.
    *If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.
    *If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.
    4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.

    If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.

    In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.
       Information
    Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.

       Tip
    Do this test overnight, before going to bed.

    Let us know your results.

    Sorry it took so long to reply; I was waiting to see if I got another BSOD.

    Yes, my SSD firmware is current.

    I did the two disk checks on both my drives and no errors were found.

    I also reinstalled the Atheros driver from the website you linked, but that didn't seem to fix the problem (I am still getting BSOD's, but this time they don't have an error message. I am attaching the latest grab from the diagnostic tool here.

    I did a basic memory check (no removing RAM) with memtest before on the new set of RAM and no errors were found, but I'll do the full one you posted just to make sure and edit this post with the results.

    That's odd. The crash screen I got said that it dumped the memory, but it wasn't the normal BSOD (it didn't have an error message and was longer). I just ran the diagnostic tool again and verified that there isn't a dump inside, so I'm not sure how to report the crash.

    Also, I ran memtest for 8 passes on all my RAM with no errors found. I'll do the "individual RAM piece" tests tomorrow.

    I will check the files again.

    Do let us know the results from memtest.

    Ok, I ran 8 passes on all the RAM and 6 passes on each stick, but it didn't find any errors. I just flashed an updated version of the BIOS; I'll see if that has fixed the blue screens.

    OK, and after that we'll enable driver verifier.

    I just got another "odd" BSOD with that:

    1. Didn't have an error message
    2. Dumped the memory somewhere but the diagnostic tool doesn't grab it
    3. Didn't automatically restart after it dumped the memory (which I have it set to in settings)

    It happened during various activities; I had music playing through Youtube, updating Visual Studio, and renaming a shortcut on my HDD. I'll attach what the Diagnostic Tool found, but it doesn't include the memory dump from the last BSOD.

    Do you get BSOD-s in safe mode?

    Upload a screenshot of your hard disk using CrystalDiskInfo:

    Make a hard drive test from the hard drive manufacturers website:

    Run Disk Check on your hard disk for file system errors and bad sectors on it:

    Hard drive test both short and long with:
