I was getting a bunch of BSOD so I Clean reset my PC cause I didn't want to troubleshoot. It was to no avail because when I Finished installing and rebooted I got a BSOD saying Page_Fault_in_Nonpaged_Area. I Figured out this is usually a RAM problem. But, When I checked it with Memtestx86 for 24 hours there were 0 errors. I tested the ram on a different PC with no issues. I Also replaced my hard drive but nothing worked. I'm at a loss overall and I don't know where to go from here.

Reset BIOS to defaults, SAVE. This gets rid of any accidental overclocks.

Agree it's likely memory. Memory testing is really tough ("fails if the nearby cells are 1 for more than a second" is a tough one for a memory test program to find.) You have 2 X 4GB memory. Pull one of the dimms. Most games are fine on 4GB. See if system stabilizes. Then swap the dimms still using only one. See if you get the same errors. Would be wonderful if the errors follow one of the dimms. You need to test both, sometime just reseating the memory fixes the problem.

None of the buses in a PC are checked, so anything can be putting garbage out, but most likely its memory. If both dimms fail the same way then assume it's video and pull the video...

None of the buses in a PC are checked, so anything can be putting garbage out, but most likely its memory. If both dimms fail the same way then assume it's video and pull the video card and run with integrated video on your i5-7600. IF the PC stabilizes try reinstalling video and see if problem stays away.

If neither video nor memory helps, then swap PSU first, MB second.

There is also a small chance disk is the culprit (not giving bad data, but SATA connection getting garbage or power connection pulling down PSU voltage, so if you have a spare drive AFTER you try the memory and video test you can test with a different drive before swapping PSU.

good luck.

update: looking at the part picker you ref'ed theres a warnign to get on a current BIOS. I'd shoot the memory problem (or whatever it is) before risking a bios flash. "Some Intel Z170 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Kaby Lake-S CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions."
