I'm having BSOD on boot with the message "PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA".
System was working perfectly last time it was used.
I have tried removing individual sticks of RAM then booting to see if there was a possible faulty RAM stick, this made no difference.
BSOD still occurs in safe mode boot.
Sorry, don't know how to submit the dump file as I can't get into windows!
BSOD pic is attached, your help is appreciated!
i get this too, mate - it was fixed by reinstalling windows.
However, it came back when I started installing software again. What caused mine is either a bad Adobe crack, malware from pornography or those lame ad installers, or - "generic" USB hardware drivers.
Lately, i removed a USB 3.0 driver and it did work.
All I can suggest is to grab a new disc drive and copy stuff across, then reinstall window if yu can't get on the machine to unload stuff D:
gutted.
My PC is currently is a state where it will not even load the BIOS when it is powered on.
The problem started with a BSOD "Page Fault In Non Paged Area" on boot (after BIOS, before Windows 7).
Unable to find the problem I reinstalled Windows 7 by booting from CD.
This solved the BSOD problem but I noticed that my secondary hard drive was no longer visible in Windows or BIOS.
I swapped around SATA/power cables etc but it would not be recognised.
The final thing I tried was clearing the BIOS using the jumpers. I booted into the BIOS, still no secondary hard drive and that was it. On exit & reset nothing happened!
I have tried removing all components apart from one RAM stick & CPU to diagnose but this makes no difference.
Is there any way to fix this or am I basically f*cked?
