Windows 10: BSOD upgrading to Win10, error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

DISM is meant to fix problems when sfc can't.

 

DISM in windows 7 can only scanhealth, not restorehealth..

Attachment 33926

I had another go at upgrading to Windows 10 from my current system in case something was fixed somewhere, but no.. the same BSOD and error code again....

Any other ideas?

 

Check for any drivers that could cause trouble:





Diagnostic Test

DRIVER VERIFIER


Warning Please make a backup of your important files and get your rescue media or create one.
Please create a restore point.
Please read and run driver verifier.

Driver verifier stresses your drivers and will crash your pc if any driver fails due to a violation.

If driver verifier has found a violation and you can't get back into windows normally, try to boot into safe mode and reset in safe mode driver verifier, or in the troubleshooting options open command prompt and type verifier /reset.



Note Your system will act very sluggishly while driver verifier is enabled, this is normal as your drivers will be being subjected to heavy testing in order to make them crash.

 

So far, it's ok. How long should I leave it running? Can I shut down my computer later tonight? Or leave it in standby mode?

 

You should run driver verifier for max 48 hours at a time, or until you get a bluescreen, which comes first.
You can leave the pc while driver verifier is running, but do not shut your pc down!

 

It's still ok..

I've decided to do a clean install, so thanks for your help anyway.

 

If driver verifier hasn't crashed then it is most likely a hardware problem with windows 10.
Before a clean install, would you mind to do a couple of hardware related tests?

 

Oh fine. *sigh*
Maybe list out the hardware tests you recommend?
(By the way, checked my harddisk with CrystalDiskInfo, and it's ok there too)

 

Memory test: MemTest86+ tutorial
GPU test: Furmark tutorial
CPU test: Prime95 tutorial

I understand you don't want to do any more tests, but if the test results are negative you have hardware damage.

 

If there's hardware damage, then my laptop has lived a good long life of 7+ years. Of course, I hope it can live longer since I'm very fond of it since it's my first personal computer.

Anyway, since the test results don't really make much of an impact, I've decided to go with a clean Win7 install (which finally fixed all the sfc corruption issues). Sadly, this was still not enough for a Win10 upgrade (still the same BSOD and error!!)

But finally I got the whole thing working!! *Smile This was what I did, in case some desperate soul needs this:
- clean install of Win7 Pro (the latest ISO build downloaded again from the Dreamspark program)
- ran Windows Update Troubleshooter http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9830262
- disabled all unknown devices in Device Manager
- removed the removable DVD writer and disabled the driver in Device Manager
- ensured all 3rd party Bluetooth drivers are not installed (as suggested by Fujitsu site)
- used the USB iso image, so switched off the internet connection
- did not keep any settings, files etc (as I heard somewhere that the location of the User folders should be placed back in the default locations but I want to leave nothing to chance)
- set the system in clean boot
- (I think this is the deal breaker) Set the system to use only 1 core and more importantly, make this setting as permanent

Without that last setting (1 core), the upgrade still failed. However I included the other steps in case they also helped. I am glad I did not need to resort to a BIOS update.

Thanks anyway for your help!

Ps. the furmark download link linked in the tutorial is not valid, as I think they do not allow direct links. There is also an updated version.
