BSOD on Shutdown - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

[np726]

Alright, cut the pieces away. The DVI cables have plenty of clearance now. I'm going to run just 1 monitor for now. Case is also clear of dust.

Go ahead and boot Windows 7 without any devices plugged in.

I assume you mean no devices other than mouse and keyboard?

Nope, as DirectX is blamed and you have a gaming mouse etc., I'd recommend you to unplug everything. For now.

Best Regards,
Frederik.

Alright, I'll let it run until tomorrow with nothing attached. Then just use the case power button to call for a shutdown?

[EDIT] I use the desktop as a media server for other machines in the house. Should I cut the connection on that too?

Umm, well - Can you borrow a regular keyboard from a friend or family? If you're able to get one, Alt + F4 + Enter should do the trick.

If you have no options then just press the shutdown button once, on some systems Windows will shut down normally by that.

Best Regards,

I have a Microsoft USB media keyboard. None of the intelitype software is installed though, just the basic USB keyboard driver. That should be alright, right?

Perfect.

I'll be on tomorrow, better get some sleep!

Goodnight,
Frederik.

Ran with only one monitor and only the keyboard attached for 24 hours. Didn't crash on shutdown... then again, didn't do anything with it other than keyboard shortcut my way to my email...

 

[FredeGail]

But no crashes at all?

Best Regards,
Frederik.

 

[np726]

No crashes. But like I said, I never fired up any games or movies. All I did was check email. I've tried firing up and running just one application or game to see if it is software related, and what software is doing it, but I've come up with nothing. I've tested Steam itself, Counterstrike, DIRT3, BioshockII (all via Steam), Ventrillo, iTunes (as much as it kills my soul to use it), Trillian, and Chrome. None of those programs running by themselves have caused a crash.

 

[FredeGail]

Seems good.
Run with this setup until you've crashed (if any).

Best Regards,
Frederik.

Ran for 24 hours (and put the PC to sleep overnight... parents weren't too happy with the electric bill this month :/ ). Ran as usual last night... music and CS:GO. Crashed on restart this morning. Dumps attached.

I uninstalled the Razer Synapse extras that came with my mouse, so it's just running as a regular USB mouse now.

I'm thinking about switching graphics back to onboard for now and see if the graphics card itself is someway defective? Unless you think there is another route I should go first?

 

[np726]

Left the machine running for about five days while at the beach (most of the time it was in sleep mode). Woke it back up and restarted it with no problem.

However, when I did restart, I was prompted to allow windows to search for solutions to unreported problems. I let it do so, and it generated the attached "temp information files".

Looks like it's graphics card related... thoughts?
