  1. BSODs - KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED and REFERENCE_BY_POINTER


    So I've been having some BSoD's regularly for the past couple months and I've yet to discover the cause of them. I've done a clean install of Windows but I'm still getting crashes. The most notable hardware chance in these past months was the addition of two RAM modules, but I've ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and they came out with no issues.
    Thank you in advance!

  3. Reference_By_Pointer

    So far none of the suggestions work or are irrelevant to Windows 10 (latest updates included).

    Though plagued by frequent (+/- every 3 days) blue screen crashes (BSOD) with the error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and to date none of the suggested fixes able to overcome the problem, I assume that it is insurmountable for Microsoft and will thus just
    have to wait ...

    Now and since the latest upgrade/updates were installed, we have begun being hit by BSOD Error REFERENCE_BY_POINTER. None of the attempted solutions here or anywhere else have worked. We have

    twice crashed in three hours while working.

    This is happening on Dell Inspiron 3537 with 8GB RAM. No new hardware has been added. Is there a solution for this yet or will we have to simply grin and bear it as we have to with the nonpaged area error?
