When using my pc to watch videos, or just have some task where I am not really interacting with it, a PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA BSOD appears after 10 - 20 minutes. If I am gaming, or doing anything where I am actively interacting with it, this doesn't appear at all. Once I start watching a video again, it will happen.

These are the specs:

Mobo: Asus Z170A (needs a BIOS update. Cannot figure out how to find the file)
Processor: i7-6700K (no OC yet)
RAM: Crucial Ballistix (can't remember the model number, detail will follow.) (Thinking this is the source of the problem.)
GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 AMP! 6GB
Storage: 1 x 850 EVO SSD, 1 x 1TB Seagate HDD, 1 x 2TB Seagate HDD.
PSU: EVGA 550W G2

Download and run memtest86.

If it throws errors and you have multiple sticks, try just one at a time and do every stick separately to find the bad one.

If none throw errors try moving them around.

If there are any errors, you very likely have bad ram. It could be something else, but I highly doubt it.

OK. I'll give it a shot.

UPDATE: I ran it, and it showed I had no errors. However, I did notice that in the RAM info line it had XMP within the name. I also noticed that the memory is running at 2400MHz, but the package states 2666. Could that be a problem?
