How to Fix “PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA”?

 In the Windows operating system, the nonpaged area is a particular part of the memory that contains critical files your computer needs in order to function properly.

These critical files are stored in the nonpaged area so that the RAM won’t keep switching them back and forth between itself and the paged area. If there happens to be an issue with this part of the RAM, the system runs into a PAGE-FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA error and shows a BSOD (blue screen of death). 

In today’s blog post, we will be covering how you can fix this issue and what are the different reasons which cause a Nonpaged Area error.

So let’s begin.

Reasons for Page Fault in Nonpaged Area Error

This error typically occurs when a system is unable to access a specific page of memory that should be present in non-paged pool memory. 

This can be caused by a variety of issues such as:

  • Issues with device drivers.
  • Problems with the system's physical memory.
  • Conflicts with the system's virtual memory management. 
  • It can also be caused by malware or a system that is out of date.
  • Damaged or corrupted RAM.
  • Faulty operating system.
  • The inability of Windows to find files that are supposed to be in the nonpaged area.

Now that we know what causes this issue let us take a look at how to fix this error.

Page Fault in Nonpaged Area Error: Troubleshooting guide

Repair system files with SFC and DISM

  1. Enter the windows shortcuts [Ctrl] + [R] and [Ctrl] + [Shift] + [Enter] respectively. These shortcuts open up the command prompt window with administrative rights.
  2. Type in the command window “sfc/scannow” and press [Enter]. This will scan the system files and replace the corrupt files with saved files which would be the intact copies.
  3. Enter the following DISM commands and confirm each command by hitting [Enter]: “DISM.exe/Online/Cleanup-image/Scanhealth” and “DISM.exe/Online/Cleanup-image/Restorehealth”.
  4. Close the command prompt window and restart the system.

Clean up Windows update:

  1. Type “disk cleanup” on the Windows search bar and open the disk clean-up application.
  2. Inside the data cleanup menu, navigate to “Clean up system files”. 
  3. From the given list select “Windows update cleanup” and click on “OK”. Also, make sure to select “Temporary files” here. This will make sure to remove all the corresponding files.
  4. Finally, restart your computer.
