Windows 10 64 bit BSOD Page Fault In Nonpaged Area

Well, what else do you recommend looking at?

I am no hardware expert. I've swapped out a stick of RAM and a HDD in an OEM laptop once or twice - that is about it.

I sit squarely on the software side of the fence.

p.s. I do believe that the BSODs were caused by unknown hardware failure, but as I've stated, the memory dumps are incapable of telling us which hardware part is/has failed. Kernel memory dumps are typically used by driver developers to debug their new drivers (software). That is the purpose of Windbg - to help find software issues, not to assist with hardware issues.

How often does the BSOD happen when starting up the computer? If it is a very rare event it will be difficult to track down the fault since you can't reliably verify that any changes have made a difference. For a lot of hardware problems I find the various tests such as HDTune, memtest, Furmark can often give a pass result, presumably because the exact conditions to trigger the fault are not replicated by the test. Sometimes the only reliable way to test is to swap components for known good ones and see if it makes a difference. Reading through this thread I see that the SSD has been highlighted and from the last dump I see that there was a 1 bit error. Just a single bit has flipped, i.e. a 0 changed to a 1 or vice versa. I would try a different SSD and then if there are still problems go back to the original SSD and try changing RAM. It's a tedious process and is why hardware faults can be so difficult to pin down.

This is the only time that a bsod has happened when starting up the computer that I can remember
