I have recently received a BSOD for Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area. I have done some research on this error and am aware that it relates to memory. I ran memtest86+ and received no errors. I am new to minidump analysis and I cannot seem to find the answer to my issue. I will include the minidump in this post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When running MemTest86+ to test memory, its important to run for a minimum of 8 consecutive passes - this is the minimum number need to thoroughly test RAM.
With your 16GB RAM, that will take several hours so I recommend running it overnight.
I tried four passes during my tests. I will try a few more and get back to you. Thanks for the quick reply.
Just to re-iterate : run 8 consecutive passes at once. With that much RAM, I estimate it will take 12 to 15 hrs.
Ok. I am back after 8 consecutive passes and I received no errors. Is there any other cause for this particular BSOD?

Now run this:
Drivers - Clean Left over Files after Uninstalling
Now reinstall the very latest driver only, following this tutorial exactly:
NVIDIA Drivers - Avoid Problems
I followed your instructions for cleaning up the video card driver. I will let you know if there are any problems over the next few days. Thank you for your help.
Well I'm back with another BSOD. Here's the dump file
I did some research and found out that the driver specified in the dump is related to daemon tools which I had previously installed on my computer. I recently reformatted this computer because of blue screens which I found out were caused by a different ISO emulating program. I did not know of any alternatives so I downloaded DT to use temporarily and then uninstalled it but apparently the driver didn't uninstall with it. I uninstalled the driver just now. Apparently the driver isn't very compatible with Windows 7. Let me know if there is anything else I could do about this new BSOD. Thank you for your continued support Golden!
That was the correct thing to do - here you can see Daemon Tools (sptd.sys driver) was causing the BSOD.
