Error "Page Fault in Nonpaged Area" appears during Windows 10 startup after a fresh installation.
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!
