PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA Windows 10 errors with a blue screen, unfortunately, are quite common. As you know, the root cause must be sought in the description. But even it cannot always ascertain the fact of their failure of some installed device or the manifestation of failures in the system itself. Typically, such problems are attributed to the Win32k.sys driver, however, at least in part it is the culprit of the problems that arise, this is not always the case.
Blue screen error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA Windows 10: causes
Actually, the interpretation of the failure itself is reduced only to malfunctions at the software and hardware level. In other words, a failure can occur due to physical malfunctions of the installed equipment (most often video cards, RAM strips, hard drives, etc.), and due to conflicts at the level of installed software.
Oddly enough, the culprits of the blue screen in Windows 10 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA have noticed programs like uTorrent, some antiviruses, and even delayed updates.
Thus, the first thing to do is to disable the torrent program (if installed) at startup (the “Task Manager” tab) and the antivirus, and then install all the missing and critical update packages by setting a manual search in the “Update Center” system, which is located in the update and security section of the options menu. But this is a theory that in practical terms gives a result quite rarely. The same torrent client does not cause problems when reinstalling.
Suppose that we again got the Windows 10 error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. How to fix such a crash? In this case, the “Update Center” in the services section is recommended to reconnect using the stop and subsequent start button with the “Automatic” (and not manual) start type set. Reboot is needed immediately after the service is stopped, and the inclusion - after restart.
Crash PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA: how to fix in the simplest way?
In practice, everything looks a little different. The solution to the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA Windows 10 error mainly comes down to trying to restore the previous configuration with working parameters.
If the F8 button is activated to enter the start menu, you can select the corresponding system start line. When upgrades are installed, a diagnostic and troubleshooting tool with system recovery is used. You can also boot from removable media.
In the case when the system rollback does not work (for example, due to the lack of backups or images corresponding to the state of the system at a certain point in time), the best option would be to boot in safe mode.
Problems with utilities for Gigabyte motherboards
Motherboard owners are a little out of luck. The fact is that for the chipset itself, when installing drivers in the factory assembly, a special On / Off Charge add-on is installed. In most cases, it is it that provokes the appearance of conflicts at the system level, also with the appearance of a blue screen (error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA). Windows 10, as it turns out, does not perceive such software, considering it absolutely incompatible.
Thus, if loading in Safe Mode is possible, the above control program should be deleted, and then restarted.
Conflicts at the antivirus and user program level
Surprisingly, antiviruses and installed software can also cause conflicts at the software level.
You can turn off anti-virus for a while, or even better, remove it completely (especially if it's a free package like Avast, which in itself is capable of causing system errors and causing a lot of problems to the user).
You can also try uninstalling the latest installed programs, which, in theory, could cause the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA to fail. For this, Windows 10 provides a standard section of programs and components in the “Control Panel” (Control in the “Run” menu or the section of parameters and applications menu).
Network Connections and Hibernation
But quite often, the reason for this behavior of the system is the incorrect configuration of network connections. You can fix the problem by entering the network parameters (ncpa.cpl) and then disconnecting (or, better, deleting) all Ethernet network connections.
Indeed, with a cable connection, they can even be duplicated (it is not known why). After that, you should reboot in stationary mode.
As for sleep and hibernation, the problem is solved by disabling the quick start when exiting. Such settings are made in the options section of power schemes, where a checkmark is unchecked.
Total
Summing up, it can be noted that the blue screen with the error warning described above is not particularly critical (at least for the operating system itself). Troubleshooting is best started with recovery. In the absence of the proper effect - from loading in safe mode. Here you can start the rollback manually (restrui.exe) or even check the disk for errors with their correction at the level of bad sectors (chkdsk / x / f / r). Along the way, you can check system files (sfc / scannow) or perform online recovery using DISM tools.
