Windows 10: BSOD Page Fault in Nonpaged Area unless i5-4460 defined to use only 2 cores Win10

So in an upgraded computer from E8400 to i5-4460, Win10 Pro booted fine but failed to recognize correctly the CPU cores only 2 ou of the 4 this CPU has.
In msconfig --> Boot --> Advanced, the list of cores showed only 1 or 2. I ticked off the box, and rebooted, and that's when the BSOD showed up. I couldn't do nothing with it, had to reinstall the whole thing, except... Reinstalling threw the same BSOD straight on the installer.


I ended up taking the drive to another computer where I installed W10 just fine.

Took it back and again, BSOD.

Then I tried booting the drive on the secondary computer where I installed W10 to that drive, it booted fine. Went back to msconfig, ticked on the CPU check mark with 2 cores selected, and now the drive runs fine on the i5, except for having only two cores available.

Any pointers on how to detect the problem?
Computer setup is:

Win10 Pro 2204 64bit
i5-4460 + Asus H81M-P
2x DDR3 1600 MHz 4GB

SSD 128GB


Thank you

Page Fault In Nonpaged Area BSOD


Hi,

I've had 2 BSODs on boot since my last post. I've attached another DM Log.

Kernel Security Check on January 31
Page fault in nonpaged area (infosys) on February 2.

BSOD: Page Fault in nonpaged area File: cdd.dll

I'm running windows 10 build 14393 on a laptop.

Some backstory: I've been getting very frequent BSODs with the error being "kernel security check failure"- about once every 2 days. I think I finally narrowed the issue down to being caused by my new usb 3 hub. I unplugged the hub and got no BSODs for about a week- at least until today.

Today I got a BSOD but instead the error was "Page Fault in nonpaged area" (a message that I've never seen on this computer before). The file concerned was cdd.dll. What could be causing this type of BSOD?

My ram is new (got it around the same time as the USB hub- 2 months ago). However, this is the first time I've gotten the page fault error message in the 2 months with the new ram, and the "kernel security check failure" errors kept occurring when I put the old ram in as a test. Memtest also completed 1 pass fine. Other than that, no hardware has been "changed" per-se, but I did open my laptop and put it back together to replace the screen which had broken.

If you'd like to read the above paragraphs in bullet form:

• 2 months ago: Replaced screen
  
• 2 months ago: Changed RAM
  
• 1.6 months ago: Started using new USB hub
  
• 1.5 months ago: Started getting BSODs "Kernel security check failure" fairly regularly.
  
• 1 month ago: Put the old ram back in
  
• 1 month ago: Memtest completed successfully
  
• 1 month ago: Continued to receive kernel security check failure BSODs
  
• 1 week ago: Stopped using USB hub
  
• 1 week ago: stopped receiving kernel security check failure BSOD
  
• Today: got a BSOD "page fault in nonpaged area" with the file being cdd.dll
  
• Today: chkdsk completed succesfully
