I currently have a Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio, i7, 512gb SSD, 16gb RAM, and RTX 3050Ti graphics card. I have recently been having issues with random BSOD's showing the error code "page fault in nonpaged area" with the suspected culprit being nvlddmkm.sys.

Here is one of my most recent crash dump files:

any help is appreciated!!!

Edit: I have run memory diagnostics on both my RAM and SSD and neither of them appears to have problems.

Most of us help out in multiple fora so there is little point in posting the same problem in multiple fora. I refer you to the analysis I gave in this forum.
I read your post on the other forum, and I'll give it a shot, but I have already gone into device manager and uninstalled all of my graphics drivers previously (I'm not sure if that achieves the same end or not). I also have looked at Microsoft's website and I have already downloaded and installed all of their drivers and firmware previously to attempt to remedy the situation. I am currently running the Nvidia game ready drivers, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. I'm also completely new to this level of troubleshooting and reading crash dump files is not anything I'm accustomed to lol. I can also add more dump files to that shared folder as well, if it helps

Update: Ran and completed DDU on it so we'll see if I have any crashes!

Upload ALL the relevant dumps you have. The more dumps we have the better our diagnosis.

I strongly suggest trying the laptop vendor's graphics driver to see whether that's stable.
I have uploaded all dump files. I will note, however, that my computer seems to be more stable since running DDU. after doing some research I figured out uninstalling drivers through device manager has a strong chance of not touching any of the corrupted registries. I'll leave this open for now, but if I don't have a crash in a few days or so I'll mark it as solved!! Thanks again for your time and help!
