BSOD Windows crashes PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA

[captainajm12]

So, awhile ago I asked help on my Windows crashing way too frequently. Since then I have reformatted the hard drive Windows was installed on. And am essentially running a new Windows. I am still experiencing Windows crashes. Before I've seen crashes SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION and KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK. It also seems PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA is a new one. The mini-dumps for the last two errors appear to have vanished. Even though I never deleted them, they're simply just gone. I only have one most recent mini-dump which is the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA. I checked these mini-dumps with Who Crashed. It came up with software driver bugs for last two crashes and this most recent one. I have no idea what driver or (hopefully not) drivers are causing this. Any help will be appreciated. I'm incredibly sorry if I come off as mean, that is not what I intend. I'm just frustrated with the frequent Windows crashes which every attempt I have tried seems to have not fixed it.

So, maybe, let's start with the hardware you're using, and the OS you're running. And by "essentially running a new Windows" do you mean that you wiped, partitioned and formatted the C:\ drive and then did a clean install of the latest version of Win10 on it, using a USB thumb drive created at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10?

Well, what I did was use the Win 10 install disk and formatted the hard drive with my previous windows on it.

Nope. You need to start over. Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10, and make yourself a Win10 Install USB drive.

Wipe the HDD using DBAN (https://dban.org/). This tells you how: http://www.techfleece.com/2013/08/22/how-to-securely-wipe-your-hard-drive-using-dban/. Use the "Quick Erase" method.

Install Win10 using your new Win10 USB install drive. Do the "settings->Update & security->Windows Update->Check for updates" thing.

If this doesn't fix your problem then you have a hardware issue.

Does it have to be the USB stick? Can I just wipe with Dban and install Win 10 with the disk?

No. You have no idea what version of Win10 is on that disc. I have seen computers cough and puke during the update process after using a much-superseded version of Win10, then abort the process. I don't know why this is, but it happens, and it's just another bump on your way to a successful install. There are two things you should always have: a recent Win10 recovery disk (actually, a thumb drive), and the latest version of Win10 on a bootable USB stick.
