I've been dealing with this stuff for years, trying to fix it, trying to work around it... I hate asking for help online, because I feel very bothersome.
This is going to sound strange, but bear with me.
Like three years ago, my computer started freezing up at random without any error messages. And I don't mean a spike of inactivity, I mean it would just lock up and wouldn't recover until it was shut down hard and restarted- And then it would do it again, repeatedly, until finally it just... Worked for some reason. Then, it'd do the same routine the next day, and the next, all the while I was trying to figure out what was wrong. Then it stopped doing it completely, only to start the whole show over again a couple months down the line. I'd forget about it, thinking I finally fixed it, every time.
This time around, it's starting to feel like my computer's last legs are giving out. This machine is practically prehistoric at this point, and this sort of stress has got to be killing it. It's happening more frequently than usual, and more predictably.
Now I'm getting BSODs as well as the freezing, and the BSODs have various different errors in them. Sometimes I even get a BSOD that freezes while writing the .dmp.
The most common error is PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, for which I tried fiddling around with Windows' paging feature in hopes it was that simple, to no avail.
Then there's BAD_POOL_HEADER, but I ensured all my drivers were fit for my rig (pretty sure, anyway), and that's all I know to do about that error.
Then there was a nameless error with the code 0x00000C4, which apparently has something to do with drivers according to a quick search. Again, all my drivers SHOULD be working.
Most of them didn't create a dump. There were others, before I started keeping track of their exact messages. (I know. I'm sorry.) Every one of the BSODs that successfully make a dump herald back to notskrnl.exe+75bc0... But my computer supposedly checks out, according to various diagnostics.
So, things I've tried:
Disabling, reenabling, and disabling again the paging file.
Scheduling a memory test, which said nothing about any issues there.
Updating my drivers.
(A lot of) System Repairs and Recoveries.
Reinstalling Windows.
A stress test a long time ago.
Getting that cheesy "NVIDIA GeForce Experience", even.
Virus scans.
Inviting my dad over to look at it.
Among other things, but I won't bother you listing everything.
I'm running a Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1. If you need more specific details about my hardware, just ask.
