Hey guys. I have a Lenovo laptop and for a while i was having this issue , BSOD with the code : PAGE FAULT IN NONE PAGED AREA and it triggered when i connect ANYTHING to my laptop , like today i had this issue just bc i plugged my USB hub and it was empty .
I ve asked online and asked friends most of them said check drivers and its maybe bc of corruption in system files i tried to fix both it kinda made be less common but today really got to the point i don't wanna use my laptop anymore please help

Have you checked your RAM sticks? RAM is a common factor in a page fault.

[rapid thorn]

Well no i ve tried everything besides that

@cobalt socket how do I check the ram sticks? just disconnect one and tgen the other to see if its working then?

[cobalt socket]

Remove one ram stick and then boot. If the issue occurs, then try the other one without the first one plugged in.

[ebon tusk]

okay ill try thst when im home, got an appointment, any other things I can do if that doesnt work?

[cobalt socket]

Try reinstalling

[ebon tusk]

windows?

[cobalt socket]

yes

[ebon tusk]

only had my pc like 6 months so hoping it isnt done for😞😞

[cobalt socket]

it probably isnt

[ebon tusk]

ill try, means all my saved stuff is wiped tho doesnt it, like I can't save all my apps etc. can I?

[cobalt socket]

yes

however try your BIOSes diagonostics to make sure your ram isn't fucked

or try memtest

at https://www.memtest86.com/

[ebon tusk]

ill try do the booting thing when im home first with the ram sticks then ill check BIOS

[ebon tusk]

because if it instantly blue screens then I can't open that

[cobalt socket]

no. it's a boot thing

you put it on a USB following it's instructions and boot from it

it's seperate to windows

[ebon tusk]

ohh rigjt so I needa download it onto a usb from another device

[cobalt socket]

no you'll need another device running windows

[ebon tusk]

how does that work? I've got an old laptop which runs enough to download things onto a usb but idk what u mean

[ebon tusk]

@cobalt socket okay so no matter which ram stick is in, it still happens

[ebon tusk]

I tried this and it still bluescreened, running memory diagnostic rn to see if thats it

idk what else to do

im restarting my system to before the bluescreen shit

[ebon tusk]

recovered to the 6th of October and it booted fine 🙂

just have ti verify some game files bc they wont start

[dense rock]

I'd try some more serious diagnostics tools (requires a USB stick to set up):

Or keep it simple, physically remove the RAM sticks except one and see if it's stable.

The other common culprit is your disk.

[ebon tusk]

I did the ram stick thing and it didn't help, however a system restore point from a few days ago fixed the issue

so it could have been something I downloaded?

i believe there was no issue until I had downloaded avast antivirus last night

[dense rock]

Maybe, or it's intermittent and comes back after some time. Reinstalling Windows (not "reset") will give us a good foundation to test

[ebon tusk]

if it comes back ill do that, but I think it must have been avast

because some anti viruses can cause that from what I've read

[dense rock]

I'd lean more on hardware issues but alright, time will tell

[ebon tusk]

since it started fine after a system restore point im assuming it must have been something I downloaded
