Question PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD error while gaming.

[haganmking]

For the past week now, whenever I play games, my computer has been freezing. Sometimes it is just the game that is freezing, sometimes the whole PC becomes unresponsive. Yesterday, however, I got the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA BSOD error. Is it faulty RAM? Or a driver issue? I have updated all of my drivers. I got this error last year, and it was fixed when I upgraded my SSD.

Please see this guide: Useful Information to include for BSOD posts so that we can better help you, as we would ideally need a dump file or much more info to properly help identify what the problem may be.

Page Fault is usually a third party driver - so in the meantime, you'll want to ensure you update all drivers (Including non-obvious drivers).
Also it will be useful to know your full system spec including PSU make and model my friend.

The specs are:
i7 7700K Stock
RTX 2060
Corsair Vengeance 16 GB @ 3000MHz
Asus ROG Maximus IX Code
Samsung 850 EVO SSD
Corsair HX850i

It doesn’t always BSOD when games crash. The next time it happens, I’ll post the mini dump.

I don’t know if it matters but it only seems the crash during Overwatch and Fortnite.
