Windows experiencing Blue Screen of Death – Memory Fault in Reserved Non-Paged Area.
Windows experiencing Blue Screen of Death – Memory Fault in Reserved Non-Paged Area.
I’ve been experiencing issues with my monitor when playing the latest version of World of Warcraft – a talking figure appears at the bottom of the screen during gameplay (I've included an image). When this figure emerges, my display colors become skewed and I receive a "No signal" error. The screen shifts from orange to green, initiating a restart but ultimately failing to resolve the problem. I notice audio and a brief flicker when switching tasks for the first time. Restarting with the power button is my only solution. Occasionally, I’ve encountered a Page Fault In Nonpaged Area Blue Screen of Death, though this has only occurred once. Just recently, attempting to use BlueScreenView resulted in another crash, but without any accompanying logs, suggesting it's not consistently related to BSOD errors. Furthermore, I noticed that running chkdsk seemed to extend my stability. It might be a random occurrence or simply an illusion. According to Google, searching for "winnit" can reveal event viewer logs, though I haven’t been able to locate it. Many believe the problem lies with my RAM or drivers, but nothing has proven effective. It's puzzling that this only affects one game and whether RAM can malfunction unexpectedly. I’ve conducted various tests – including chkdsk, disk check, memory checks, AVG uninstallation, driver reinstallation, HWmonitor testing, and Memory diagnostic – along with reviewing logs with Blizzard support. Here is an example of the talking head: https://imgur.com/a/i7VLSeR. Also, I’d like to know how to upload text files.

Yes, all potential resolutions and scans have been applied.
New data indicates that occasionally a crash can be escaped, but the PC experiences a 20-second lag before returning to its normal state.
Could a power supply simply fail unexpectedly? I’d like to understand the potential causes of such a failure. Furthermore, I was considering an upgrade to my computer following this issue, which is clearly problematic. I’ve been advised on some components, but I'm hoping to replace parts individually and am concerned about potentially causing further damage.
Following the crash after alt-tabbing, I discovered additional logs. The AMD KMDAP display driver experienced a failure and has since resolved itself. This issue correlates with reports from other users experiencing similar crashes, flickering problems, and related symptoms. It appears to be the primary cause. While adjusting TDR levels offered some improvement, the system continued to crash. I generated a custom key as one wasn't present, though its significance is uncertain. I’m cautiously optimistic about the TDR adjustments; do you have any suggestions for further modifications within that setting?
