Problem with starting Windows 10. Crashes during application launch. Need assistance!
A series of BSODs followed by frequent crashes upon logging in are occurring. Please assist!
System details:
ASUS Prime Z390-A

Corsair H100i
Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB 32GB 4x8
RTX 2080 Ti
EVGA G2 750W
Recent issues have intensified, starting with typical “WHEA uncorrectable” errors. Later it evolved into “IRQL not less or equal,” which I suspect relates to low voltage levels. Increasing the voltage resolved the problem temporarily, but occasional crashes persist during gameplay. Over the past week or two, I’ve reached 1.36V and above, yet still face BSODs.
After resetting BIOS settings back to defaults, the system no longer boots into Windows and continues to display errors. Frequent BSODs now occur even at higher voltages.
I’m uncertain about the cause but suspect a failing PSU or possibly CPU issues. I’m concerned because everything is new except the motherboard, which is refurbished, and my power supply has been old for several years.
Initially, stable performance was reported at 5.0GHz with 1.34V for two months. Recently, voltage adjustments have been made to 1.36V or higher, but functionality has deteriorated significantly. Tasks like launching Chrome or searching in the Start menu now trigger crashes.
I’m unsure if I’ve damaged any components during overclocking. I hope it’s not a hardware failure and consider replacing the PSU or CPU if necessary.
Did you attempt to raise the voltage back to 1.33V in BIOS? Unless your CPU had been operating at +85°C for two months, it's unlikely that 1.36V would cause damage.
It wasn’t maintaining 85°C for two months, I only performed stress tests with AIDA64 for around ten hours and it appeared stable for that period. However, recently I needed to increase the voltage to 1.35 and then 1.36 because I encountered issues with IRQL not equal or less BSOD. It has remained at 1.34v during those two months.
Many of those announcements could be related to RAM voltage as well, not just the CPU. Verify your XMP configurations. Disable and re-test. Consider running memtest86. Increasing the RAM voltage might be necessary. Review the RAM/XMP section in this guide: https://forums.
Do you have both the CPU and RAM overclocked? In most cases, your overclocking isn’t stable. Your operating system might also be corrupted. Run sfc /scannow and perform a full chkdsk with repair.
Some BSODs are linked to the CPU, while others point to RAM issues, often due to OS corruption.
Reasons for Page Fault in Nonpaged Area:
It’s challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of this issue. Still, it’s clear why it happens. Before you start troubleshooting, familiarize yourself with the details. Understanding the root cause will help you address the “page fault in nonpaged area” more effectively.
In your RAM, there exists a section known as the nonpaged area. Your PC can temporarily use part of the hard disk as an alternative to RAM when it processes large amounts of data. These two components frequently exchange page files. However, the nonpaged area remains protected—it holds essential data that shouldn’t be altered. Certain third-party applications, such as antivirus programs like Norton, AVG, or Avast, might access this area and potentially corrupt its contents. If your system can’t locate the required information in the nonpaged area, Windows displays the error “Page_fault_in_Nonpaged_Area” during a blue screen. This issue could stem from hardware faults or driver problems, and any defective RAM module may also trigger this BSOD.
Source: The KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE is one of the BSOD codes that appears when there are issues with your Windows OS. It happens when the kernel detects serious data corruption in your system, making it difficult to trace the exact cause. Many users on Windows 10 have reported this problem after upgrading RAM. If you’re facing similar symptoms, consider trying the various solutions outlined below.

I’m unable to run any programs because Windows won’t even load. My CPU was overclocked, but turning everything off to default didn’t help—just a loading screen. With my overclocked settings, I can get a bit further into the loading process, though it often ends with an IRQL BSOD error. I’ve already sent an RMA for the board, so I’ll check if there’s another problem.
