Hi there,
New here, so hello and thank you to everyone reading/helping.
I recently purchased a custom made desktop, probably a beast back in 2012/2013, low/medium by todays standards I am guessing. It's great and I love it, fit my budget and does what I need to do (work, browsing, light/medium games, music editing) so I though I would upgrade the i5-2500 cpu for an i7 3770 cpu and try to get the most out of the system before it bites the dust. I swapped the CPU myself, it "successfully installed" and allowed me to boot into BIOS. I "optimized default settings", smooth sailing.
Recently I've been having issues with the windows BSOD on boot up. It says "Page Fault In Non Paged Area". The first time it happened, it said it's collecting data and will auto restart once it's done. I leave and come back around 20 minutes later and it's still there saying %100 complete so I figure that can't be good. I shut it off by holding the power on button, turned it back on and didn't see it. I thought it was a one off event. However, now every time I'm restarting or turning my computer on from being off, that happens. A lot. I literally sit here for like 5 minutes battling with it, constantly restarting until I get "lucky" and windows loads. The odd part is, once I'm actually in windows using my pc it's perfectly fine. I can have it on for days, do everything I normally do and no errors or freezes or crashes, ect. I don't see any missing files or programs or anything like that.
So I'm reaching out here for some help. I am not a computer guy, I have a basic level of understanding.
Here are some things I have done according to some google searches:
-loaded optimized defaults in bios and removed any overclocks
-scanned with microsoft antivirus, I also downloaded a free one called "avast", did a scan with that, then removed the program- no reports
-deleted some unnecessary programs
-ran disk file checker, windows file checker- no reports of errors.
-"trimmed" the SSD
-ran disk cleanup
Here are the computer specs using the CPU-Z software:
CPU- Intel core i7 3770
Motherboard- Asus p8h67-m pro (has the most recent BIOS available according to ASUS website)
RAM- 16GB DDR3 @ 1333mhz by Kingston
GPU- NVIDIA Geforce GTX 960 4GB DDR5
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500GB.
Currently using Windows 10 Pro
Any help would be appreciated. If you need more info I'd have to be "guided" on how to get it for you but I'd be happy to share.
Thanks again,
Jp
