I spent a good bit building this beast, but I have no idea what to do. I've tried so many different things.

Computer will not boot at ALL. Constant PTE Misuse or non paged area fault.

Here are some issues I had leading up to today's complete failure that might help indicate what's wrong:

OS: Windows 10 Home x64

Processor: Intel Core i7-6800K
15M Broadwell-E 6-Core 3.4 GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W BX80671I76800K

Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX X99
GAMING LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel

Graphics Card: ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1080 STRIX
GTX1080-A8G-GAMING 8GB 256-Bit GDDR5X PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready Video Card

RAM: CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 32GB
(2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000) Desktop Memory Model CMD32GX4M2B3000C15

Booter: Seagate 1TB SSHD
Internal Serial ATA III/Serial ATA II

HDD: WD Black 5TB
Performance Desktop Hard Disk Drive - 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 128MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD5001FZWX

---Scenario 1---
1. Computer gets to password screen.
2. BSOD for PTE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA, SYSTEM PTE MISUSE.
3. Restart computer.
4. Boots normally.
This may happen several times before it lets me log in.

---Scenario 2---
1. Computer gets to password screen.
2. BSOD for PTE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA, SYSTEM PTE MISUSE.
3. Restart computer.
4. Computer powers on, then powers off (in the middle of restart.)
5. Begins to load; GPU Overclocked failed. Prompts to change BIOS.
6. I open BIOS and hit continue without changing anything.
7. Gets to password screen.
8. Boots normally.
This may happen several times before it lets me log in.

---Scenario 3---
1. Computer gets to password screen.
2. BSOD for IOMap64, PTE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA, and SYSTEM PTE MISUSE.
3. Restart computer.
4. Computer powers on, then powers off (in the middle of restart.)
5. Begins to load; GPU Overclocked failed. Prompts to change BIOS. (Nothing is overclocked.)
6. I open BIOS and hit continue without changing anything.
7. Gets to password screen.

This happened recently for about 2 hours. I opened it in safemood, updated a few drivers, did a PC scan, and after 2 more failed attempts it magically started working.

Solution
Try the Linux Live CD/USB. It won't overwrite anything and you can for a fact ascertain whether the machine will boot off alternate media.

After that, go to Seagate site, download the stand-alone Seatools.

I'm currently running the Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool for the second time. The first time I ran it I wasn't near the computer (so I don't know what it said) when it restarted, and it failed to login at the log in screen because of a BSOD from "Memory Management," which hasn't ever happened before OR since then.
I hope that's helpful in trying to narrow down what's going on :l
 
Well you can run the RAM test, but not boot? I used to love those Seagate SSHDs, but two of them went bad on me. Try installing Windows on a different device?

Also try creating one of those Linux Live CDs or USB sticks. Like Linux Mint. See if that boots.
 


Yeah, it's super strange. I have Windows on a USB drive, I'm just cautious on trying to reinstall if I can find a simpler solution. Also, I want to try and narrow down what's happening so that I can understand it and hopefully prevent it from happening again. It was very random. =/ Did you have similar symptoms when your seagates started failing?
I only installed it out of desperation. I bought the 5TB WD but Windows can't boot off of it because its too big. I had all my other parts and was anxious to get the machine built; so I grabbed the seagate (nearest retailer) and threw it in to boot Windows. =(

Toms hardware advice 90% of the time is always RAM and the solution is always RMA it....
IOMAP64.sys is a component of the asus software package AISUITE 3. This program is notorious for its proclivity to conflict somewhere in windows, hardware components, and of course your bios.
Boot into safe mode and uninstall the program.
