Hey folks, I keep getting

"page fault in nonpaged area"

I have tried many things including killing "Quallcomm Killer V2" from startup and testing the ram. All seemed to have no change as the same BSOD keeps happening.

It is not happening in daily use tho, only when I run 3d games. Sometimes I can play for a couple of hours other times it is 20 minutes. I am not able to replicate it on demand, I can only play a game and wait for it to happen. This happens in Skyrim and Guild Wars 2, the only two games I have seen it in so far.

This only happens at home, during the day the laptop is at my office where I run Maya, Photoshop and Unity- no BSOD's there but at the office I have the official MSI power supply while at home I have the Lavolta 120w (120W Lavolta® Netzteil Notebook LadegerÃ)

Look forward to seeing what you experts come up with as I am stumped!

Cheers.

P.s. below are the logs.

Sooo opened up the crash dump and it seems to be

Qcamainx64

Why is this Atheros driver so flakey? Will let you know of the results

Typical symptoms of overheating of the CPU or GPU.

I would check the max temperatures reached particularly when 3D games as that will likely result in the highest temperatures.

I use CPUID HWMonitor for this purpose, but there are others, whatever works for you.

I will check again. Playing Far Cry 3 the other day I played almost all day with a top temp of 85 degrees. Not bad.

These crashes are sporadic and happen at various times usually in the evening when I am using a WiFi connection (at work I use a USB connection)

Thanks for the input Helmut! Much appreciated.
