    Blue screen restarts, apps/games randomly crash or corrupt theirselves


    This has been happening for a while now and i have been replacing bits and bobs to pinpoint the issues im experiencing.
    Basically my pc will suddenly give me a blue screen that's usually too fast to read anything before restarting my pc. I managed to get a glimpse of 2 of the errors. One being Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area and another being "memory management".
    I have some dmp files i would like checked out if anyone has the spare time, maybe i can finally fix this issue

    Thanks for any help, much appreciated!

    the dump seems to point to your video card, make sure you update your drivers and see if it keeps happening.

    I have got the latest drivers for my graphics card.
    Now that you mention it, the restarts started happening nearer the time i got my newest gfx card.
    I got a GTX 970, is there anyway to diagnose for a bad card?

    if you have another computer available, install the graphics card on it and see if the problem occurs on that PC as well. if it does then you definitely need a new card.

    Sigh,
    Gave it a while and now ordering a new card but decided to run a game off the Intel HD graphics chip in my motherboard.
    It gave me the same blue screen then restarted, do you think this means that it wasn't the graphics card?
    What should i do, can't even watch video's without it restarting

    in that case, it could be your motherboard, if you know how, open up your computer and look at the motherboard to see if it is damaged, and then follow these steps:

    once this is done get back to me with info

    My bad, i forgot to mark as solved.
    After replacing the gfx card and it still not working, i tried the ram, got new 16gb ram and works like a charm.
    Must have been faulty or something, thanks for helping!
