Hi everybody,

Well I have a problem I hope someone can please help me with. I just spent about 11 hours emptying my old PC from it's midtower and changing the motherboard, cpu cooler, ram and CPU and adding a M2 drive. I kept a GPU, case, soundcard and two SSDs and switched a case fan also. After that ordeal it turned on, but sadly i have not yet been able to boot properly into my desktop. Every time, I get a "Page Fault in NONPAGED Area" BSOD, right before I enter the Desktop.

I had an Intel 4670k on a Z97 Mobo and DDR3. I switched my storage, PSU and GPU (Nvidia GTX 1070) into a new system. The new CPU is a Ryzen 7 5700X on a Gigabyte AORUS Elite B550 motherboard and 16gb of Kingston Fury Beast 3600mhz CL17 RAM. PSU is EVGA Supernova G2 750W. I am using the same OS installation for over 10 years although it has been upgraded at some point from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, I have never formatted in that time. I believe it was originally a retail version, but it is now a license.

I've tried to do some troubleshooting, but I can't get rid of the BSOD. I have:

  • Disabled "Automatically Manage Paging File Size for All Drives"
  • Ran DISM and SFC repair
  • Ran Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool, it did not find anything wrong.
  • Tried to test all combinations of RAM and slots to isolate the cause, but it did not.
  • Checked my SSDs in CrystalDisk
I've also attached my SysnativeBSODCollectionApp zip. I'm posting this right now in safe mode, where it boots fine. Maybe it's a driver conflict perhaps from some old hardware?

When you change the motherboard. The Chipset drivers also change which are installed when you install the OS. It's always best to backup your files to an external USB HDD and wipe the drive and do a Clean Install of Windows.
Others will chime in to address your BSOD, but you can save yourself a lot of pain, if you do a Clean Install, if all Hardware is in good order.

yeah i'll look to do that. just need to prepare the files i want to take across. i want to switch everything to my m2 drive so it might be a good opportunity to start a clean install.

anyway, i asked somewhere else and they analysed the crash dump and it was a driver conflict caused by Gigabyte tools. gdrv.sys. deleted all traces of Gigabyte tools such as @BIOS, OC Button, App Centre, etc and now I can boot successfully.

but i mean i still have old stuff like Intel Management Engine Components that I can't uninstall so i'm sure my system has a lot of old crap rattling around that i wouldn't have if i just did a fresh install.

thanks guys.
