BSOD PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA 0x00000050 and others

Hi Arc,

Thanks for your note! Always good explanations. Update:

I let the RAM modules testing (via USB) go for 9 passes (basically 24 hours) without any errors :). Temperature of the CPU was 70-73°C in average. So I guess this is a Pass?

Just uninstalled TuneUp utilities. About to start the Spyware full scan (Lets hope that my screen does not go black like last time).

Looking for the Thermal Paste. Will keep you posted on the above.

Cheers again

Quick update since my last post.

I ran the spyware full scan and all went well. No black screens, no BSODs so far... could it have been really Norton 360 all this time? Incredible. Honestly.. for what you pay...

Since I guess I won't install Norton again for obvious reasons, can you confirm that Microsoft Essentials is just what is required to maintain system safe?

Regards

Hi Arc,

Ok will keep MSE and MBAM for a while and see how it goes.

Good note is that the BSODs stopped.... and hope it stays that way.

I've never opened a laptop before. After seeing various videos showing that basically the whole laptop has to come apart to access the CPU and Fans, I think it would be best to find someone that knows what he is doing (at least to put it back together :)). This computer is really good, and would hate to ruin it.

On a funny note, there seems to be a war out there on what is the best thermal paste to use (LOL) :).

I'll post back as soon as I accomplish this last step.

In the mean time, thanks again Arc for all your help! Truly said, you have saved me a lot of headaches! Wish I had joined this forum earlier and posted when the problems started.

Regards
