Hey there, thanks for taking a look.

Pretty much once every couple of months while I'm playing a game (through Steam) the computer crashes, loops a soundbyte for a couple of seconds and brings me to a BSOD. I don't think it has happened while not playing a game, but it has probably happened about 5-6 time now all with the same reason I guess - PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. Thanks for taking a look again guys.

Welcome to SF, StrongM :) .

I would start off by updating two old drivers.

Code:
lmvm [COLOR=Blue][U]rtwlanu[/U][/COLOR]

fffff880`06ce9000 fffff880`06df2000   rtwlanu    (deferred)

If that doesn't cut it I would run a test on the RAM, in this fashion:


:ar: Testing the RAM:

Test and Diagnose RAM Issues with Memtest86+:


   Tip

  • :info: Pay close attention to part 3 of the tutorial "If you have errors"
  • :tip: Test the RAM with Memtest86+ for at least 7-10 passes. It may take up to 22 passes to find problems. Make sure to run it once after the system has been on for a few hours and is warm, and then also run it again when the system has been off for a few hours and is cold.
When done with the testing procedure take a picture and upload it here.

:ar: This will help you to determine where the issue is origination from (if any):
First run it with all the existing/installed RAM modules. If it comes with no error, all is good.

But if it starts showing errors, Stop testing. Errors/red lines means one or more RAM is faulty. But the fault may occur due to a faulty DIMM slot, too, which is a motherboard component. Using memtest86+, you can discriminate between a faulty RAM and a faulty motherboard.

How? Say you have two RAM sticks and two DIMM slots. You obtained errors at the test with all RAM sticks installed. Now, remove all the sticks but one. Test it in all the available slots, one by one. Continue the same procedure for all the available sticks.
How to make the inference that is it a RAM issue or it is a motherboard issue? Suppose you have got the result like that:
test|Slot1|Slot2
RAM1| Error | Error
RAM2|Good|Good
It is a RAM, a bad RAM.

But if you have got a result like that:
test|Slot1|Slot2
RAM1| Error |Good
RAM2| Error |Good
It is a motherboard issue. The particular slot is bad.

Post back with the results!
