I recently did some upgrading on my laptop I put in new 8gb ram and a 1tb Hybrid drive.
I have now been getting multiple BSOD:

Driver irql not less or equal
Unexpected Kernel mode trap
page fault in nonpaged area


I have run a chkdsk /f /r /x and sfc.exe /scannow
My computer for the most part runs fine but when I try to play games and such (Dead island specifically) I run into alot of BSOD. How should I go about solving this problem I'm really lost at this point.

Update: I have tried to keep track of the BSOD that I am getting and I have to add a few others

System thread exception
System service exception
Reference by pointer

Honestly with day to day easy use the computer runs fine but I do like to game on it so I would like to know how to fix this.

If you have access to a local computer shop, the best way is to bring your laptop to their shop and purchase+test the memory onsite. If after some tests the memory gives problems, you can immediately ask for a different stock or brand. This is what I do even with my desktop (strip to mobo+cpu, they have psu's there anyway), cause memory can sometimes be hard to diagnose.

Sometimes you can google the error code from the bsod and it will show you some possible reasons for the problem.

Its weird cause I just posted on another thread about bsod's and new 8gb sodimms... hmm. My suspect is memory compatibility with your mobo.

I have been trying to fix them one at a time but I honestly don't want to have to go through and fix 6-7 different bsod I was hoping that someone could find a correlation between everything because I really dont know what I am looking at.

I have found that some of the bsod do have to do with memory and I have run scans and chkdsk so I dont think it is my new hybrid drive which leaves the new ram sticks.
