I have an MSI 785GM-P45 mobo with AMD Phenom II x2 560 processor. I've got 12Gigs of ram (2x2Gigs) and (2x4gigs) and AMD Raedon HD7770 Graphics card with 1GB GDDR5. I have 2 HDD's 1 DVD write/rewrite, 1 Blu Ray, 550 Watts PSU.

The issue is for a while I've been getting random BSOD's most having the error msg. Page Fault in NonPaged Area. I was also getting Hyper Transport Sync Flood errors. I Mainly do heavy graphics editing and lots of internet activity (several browser tabs open in two, sometimes three different browsers) and open text editors.

At the time I was getting the Hyper transport I had three sticks of ram. Nothing is oc (now or then) so I thought maybe its because I'm not in dual mode so I got another stick and changed my CPU NB settings to 2200 and put my HT at 1800. I haven't had another Hyper Transport error and I hadn't had any BSOD's for two days (since I put in the Ram) but just now while using both IE and FF (testing websites) I had a page Fault in NonPaged Area crash.

I also did a clean install of Windows 8 pro before installing the ram. Maybe I need to add a fan because I hear my cpu fan running sometimes rather loudly (at least it seems loud to me).

The WhoCrashed report is below. Any help with this would be great. Very Appreciated

PAGE_FAULT BSOD's can be tied to either general system instability, or bad RAM.

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR, however, generally points to an unstable system. I've seen it generated due to bad OC's, overheating, an underpowered PSU, or simply a bad motherboard.

I'm gussing your RAM setup is to blame; non-matched RAM has always been a little finicky, and depending on the timings of each set, I could see these types of problems being generated. So for the sake of testing, remove the 2 2GB sticks and see if the situation improves.
