Blue screen of death during windows loading screen (more info in comments)

[crunchyroll]

Hello, this morning I received a blue screen upon turning my PC on, this 'page fault in non paged area' happens during the windows loading screen so I'm unable to get into my PC to get any real information for you guys, I'll write down my PC specs and what I was doing on my PC yesterday that might've caused this, I hope it helps!

PC specs

Windows 7 64bit
Motherboard - Asus Z87-k
CPU - Intel i5-4670k ( I've tried booting in both the stock setting of the CPU and the oc'd setting, neither work
Graphics card - Nvidia 780gt 4gb
RAM - 8gb (2 sticks) DDR3 1600mhz corshair 9-9-9-24
SSD - Samsung 840 pro series 128gb (OS is on this)
HDD - Seagate barracuda 2tb
CPU cooler - Corsair h80
PSU - corsair 750w

Yesterday on my PC I installed the latest windows update and ran 2 games for the first time (apologies if this means nothing 😛)

I had bsod issues in the past but they were due to an over clocked graphics card which has since been reset and I've been all clear since

The only other thing I can give you guys is a picture of the bsod that I took if that's of any use?

Thanks for reading this, I'd be very greatful for any help on this issue, I'm not too knowledgeable on PC's but I will do my best to give you more information if you need it, cheers guys!

EDIT - I ran windows startup repair and it said it couldn't fix my problem automatically

Off Topic ::

Do you know how to change the boot priority of your Mobo? I've exactly the same thing, but can't change it! :/

Hello... All my experience with BSOD is due to a Hardware communication, interrupting between the MB and Windows.
1) Make sure you have no un-happy hardware drivers in your "Device Manager"... No Yellow or Red icon indicators
2) Clean all card/stick edges with rubbing alcohol... And Re-insert cards.
3) Inspect and clean all DATA and Power connections... to your Hardware and MB.
4) Verify all devices CPU/GPU/MB temperatures are with in Normal operating temperatures.
5) Verify your Power Supply 12Vdc has enough current , To operate your Video Card and CPU, at the Performance setting you are using.

A quick fast test, would be try one stick of Ram at a time.

Thanks for the reply ironsounds, just a quick note, I cleaned my PC very recently, the CPU runs at 30 degrees Celsius whilst idle, the GPU I've never had a heat problem with, I can try booting up with 1 stick of ram though

I don't know how to look at how much power my PSU is giving out to my PC, I totally forgot to add my PSU to my specs though, sorry! Its a corsair 750w. I've never had a problem with power though.

With your first suggestion, checking the device manager, can I do that in the BIOS? What exactly am i looking for?

Thanks again

Hello... Control Panel-Device Manager app.

 

[crunchyroll]

Ah right, well I can't get into windows at all as the blue screen happens during the windows loading screen

 

[Ironsounds]

Hello... then go to step 2... LOL don't freak... be good in your inspection at the Mb and or other hardware connections... Try to boot without your Video Card ( with your CPU/IGT ) is another fast easy test.

 

[crunchyroll]

OK man I will look at the connection again, everything is completely dust free though, I cleaned this 1 week ago also I'm not freaking haha 😛

 

[crunchyroll]

OK I've checked my PC and its spotless, no dust at all, after I tried booting the PC with 1 stick of ram, I tried each stick by itself and got the blue screen everytime.

 

[crunchyroll]

Quick update, I tried running the PC in safe mode and still got the bsod

 

[Ironsounds]

Hello... Can you BOOT using the Windows 7 install Disk/USB? Maybe your Windows Update caused this... There is a couple Windows repair options too, ( Boot/Registry files and Restore Original Windows install files only ).

Ok I managed to perform a fresh install of windows on the SSD and it works fine now, so it looks like it was an update to windows that caused this! Closing the topic now, cheers for all the help everyone
