Question "Page Fault in Nonpaged Area" Error on Windows 10 Startup After Fresh Install

[Sacavin]

I'm experiencing a persistent issue with my gaming PC from 2016. Every time I boot Windows 10, I get a blue screen with the error "Page Fault in Nonpaged Area", just before the login screen appears. Here's what I've tried so far to resolve the problem:

RAM Testing:

I tested the RAM sticks one by one in different slots, and it did not solve the problem. So, I think the issue is not coming from there. I also performed a test with Mdsched, but I didn't see any errors during the test.

Windows 10 Reinstallation:

I installed Windows 10 on a brand-new SSD. The installation completed without any issues, but the error still occurs on the first startup.

Hardware Verification:

The SSD is new and functional. (I thought the problem was coming from here, so I bought a new SSD...)

Disconnecting all unnecessary peripherals. Booting into Safe Mode, but the error appears before I can access the desktop.

I’m looking for advice on how to diagnose and resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello helpstar, thank you for your reply.

I've already tried launching in safe mode but it crashes too. And I've tried reinstalling windows 3 times.

But I'll try to do a bios update tonight when I'm home, I haven't tried it yet.
