Page Fault At Nonpaged Area, again.

[uber9000]

I just got over this issue a week ago and now it's back. I'm curious as to if anyone else has been having this problem with Windows 10 as well. I have ruled out my RAM, HDD, and even my PSU.

My HDD runs at 100% when opening anything, even a webpage on chrome then comes down. I'll get pretty high spike on doing generally anything now. Zero bad sectors, RAM came out okay, and my PSU isn't causing an issue either. The only other thing I can think of it being, is an update from Windows 10, or bad drivers.

Is there a way I can like, scan for bad drivers or something like that? Since I did a clean install of my GPU driver, it seems to be doing okay, so far no BSOD, but the HDD usage concerns me. Any ideas?

Have you disabled your pagefile?

Have you disabled your pagefile?

I believe so. I set it back to automatically manage paging file sizes. If I keep that disabled, will it hinder performance? (If that is in fact what you're referencing)

Yes. If you have disabled the pagefile and your system needs it, it can cause problems. Set it back to system managed size and reboot. See if that works works.

HDD seems to be running "normal" for now. It has weird, weird spikes and usage but it's not at 100% constantly when trying to do anything. I'll start testing it again and I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you for your answer and quick response!

Disabling the pagefil is one of those myths about getting better performance. At best it does virtually nothing, and more often than not, causes problems. The Page Fault at Non Paged Area is one of the most common.

Well then... Thank you for the info. It seems to be helping quite a bit. I've honestly never seen this error in the entire time I've been doing IT/Tech work, so it kind of made me panic. It even fixed an error in one of my games that wouldn't move past a loading screen. Two birds with one stone?

Sweet!

 

[uber9000]

Sorry for digging up a grave, but It definitely helped a lot. However I noticed that setting it to what you told me to, was only giving me about 2gb physical ram, so I set it to the 8gb that I have and it works great. However, when I play Fallout 4, the hard drive is at 100% almost all the time. Other games like Bioshock are fine, but not FO4. Any ideas? It didn't do that until I had the BSOD again, triggering this topic.

Unless your memory usage exceeds the amount of installed RAM, your pagefil is never used. What are your system specs? Also, do you have a lot of programs booting at startup?

 

[uber9000]

I have 5 things start up with windows and it's all very minimal things.

FX 8350
8gb VIPER RAM
GTX 760
Gigabyte 990fxa ud3
650w psu
WD Black 1tb hdd

 

[BadActor]

Is the HDD at 100 percent during FO4 causing you not to be able to play the game? I know it is very demanding on the CPU and GPU, but never heard of it affecting the HDD like that, but it may be normal.

 

[uber9000]

Its play able but my fps stutters real bad after loading zones in open world, and my cpu and ram don't go over 50%

 

[BadActor]

Try this, also. Go to settings, system, notifications, and turn off "Show me tips about Windows."

 

[uber9000]

I did that a while ago and It has zero effect on anything so I left it off

I'm running out of ideas, but I'll throw a few more things out. Is the hard drive nearly full? Have you run a S.M.A.R.T. status and checkdisk? Try disabling the services Superfetch and Windows Search. Disable disk defragment in the task scheduler and any antivirus you have running.

Yeah, I ran smart tests and I have to try to get chkdsk running but ill give that a shot too. Thanks for all your help man!
