So my PC was working fine last night and i went to switch it on this morning only to have it blue screen before loading windows.

I first got PAGE FAULT IN NON-PAGED AREA but my machine no longer boots to windows at all. I can boot in safe mode and after looking in logs I can see I am getting a large number of DCOM 1084 errors.

I'm hopeless when it comes to hardware and any help would be appreciated.

System outline:
- Windows 10 pro
- AMD Gaming Carbon Pro Motherboard (BIOS is up to date)
- AMD Ryzen 7 3800x
- MSI RTX2070
- Corsair Vengeance RGB (2x8GB)
- Generic Samsung SSD, WD green HDD, WD green M.2

Things I have tried:
- Booting from a different windows install (separate disk)
- Removing all unnecessary drives / USB devices / PCI cards
- Reinstalling windows to a different drive
- Running windows automated repair
- Resetting motherboard CMOS
- Removing any OC profile
- Different RAM configurations
- I ran mem test and no errors were found.
- Removing graphics drivers

I can now only boot into safe mode, when I try boot normally I just get a black screen and the PC restarts.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for taking the time to read my post :)
 
Solution
Did you make any changes to hardware configuration or software before this occurred?

Also there is one thing you can try to see if this is a HW related error or Windows related : Go get a Linux distro (Mint, Fedora, or whatever modern distro that can be run in live mode*) and see if that is able to boot/run normally)

* Boot up, and you don't need to install anything permanently, it is just to test the computer.
