PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA, random BSODs
Hello all, and thanks in advance for any assistance provided. I only recently built a new system in February, and I've been getting infrequent blue screens of death ever since installing Windows. The errors have always been one of two types, and the BSODs never name a specific file. The two errors are "Page Fault in Non-Paged Area" and "IRQL Not Less or Equal", with typical stop codes of 0x00000050 and 0x000000D1. I haven't been able to find any specific cause after several straight days of testing, and I'm unsure of what to do next. I've attached the only current dump file as viewed by BluescreenView.
I would have attached a dump file itself, but I hadn't yet switched to minidumps. Whoops.
TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS TAKEN
I have already done an eight pass test on my memory using MemTest, no errors were found. I have not yet done tests on individual sticks.
I have manually reseated everything on the motherboard; memory, video card, hard drive cables.
I have reinstalled Windows after a clean format.
I have done multiple virus scans with Avast, both in and out of Safe Mode.
All drivers have been updated with clean installations.
ANYTHING NOTEWORTHY
So far, all of the BSODs have happened while playing a game or watching videos (either in Media Player Classic or through Flash players on websites such as YouTube). The dump file held no information other than that there was a crash and some numbers I don't personally understand.
That's all the information I can provide currently; thank you in advance for any help that can be provided.
