Windows 10: cpuz138_x64.sys causing PAGE_FAULT_IN-NONPAGED_AREA on boot

Exactly what it says on the tin. I've already ensured that CPU-Z, GPU-Z, OpenHardWareMonitor, Speccy, etc. are not/no longer installed on my system.

What else can I do to ensure this issue stops happening?

:)

 

Problem can't be fixed after running sfc /scannow "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix of them"

Unninstall CPUZ, or whatever this file belongs to cpuz138_x64.sys

It's causing the crash. I would uninstall Daemontools as well. It's a known cause of crashes

 

My computer keeps blue screening with the error "irql not less or equal" (Windows 10)

Welcome to the forum,

It seems to be a remnant still stuck in the temp folder.

Check this location,

Code: C:\Users\DRAGON~1\AppData\Local\Temp\cpuz138\cpuz138_x64.sys[/quote] Delete that whole folder cpuz138 ​and see if that helps.

That is a hidden folder so you need to unhide it,

Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives - Show in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

 

I'm unable to delete the folder. I receive an error message stating the folder is open in another program.

I'll see if I can use Process Explorer to find and close the program that is using the folder.

E: It seems that explorer.exe is holding it open, but only when I am viewing the folder. However, this makes little sense to me - how am I to delete the file when what I must use to delete it is preventing me from deleting it?

 

You can try safe mode,

Safe Mode - Start Windows 10 in - Windows 10 Forums

Do you really want all those startup programs? You've got quite a list.

 

Most of those programs I have set to boot with Windows are ones that I do want to boot with Windows. Unless there's some I'm not aware of?

I'll see if Safe Mode will allow me to delete the file.

 

That's up to you, I was just wondering, This is what I see,

Safe Mode did the trick. As for the startup programs, Pidgin is disabled. I just haven't removed the .lnk file.

Some of those other things - like OneDrive, BTSync - I will be disabling. Most of it, however, are things I do want to start up right alongside Windows.

 

No problem. I see you marked this solved so I guess you are confident it is.

Have a good one. *Smile
