  2. 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?

    BSOD Windows 11 Stop code: REFERENCE_BY_POINTER | SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED | ntoskrnl.exe

    Hi, using windows 11 and have been getting multiple BSOD daily for the past few weeks now seemingly getting more frequent lately.

    Stop code: REFERENCE_BY_POINTER

    Stop code: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

    BlueScreenView reports ntoskrnl.exe as being the cause.

    Here is link to a few dmp files: Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

    Appreciate any advice. Thank you.
