Reloading the paging file
Windows uses disk space to speed things up. To do this, it creates a specified exchange file for quick access to frequently used programs. If it breaks, Windows cannot get the data it needs and crashes with a critical Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area. So try to recreate this file as follows to solve the problem.

- On the Advanced tab, in the Performance section, click the Options button. In the next window, select Advanced and click “Change” in the Virtual Memory section.
- Deselect “Automatically select paging file size”. Then enable the “No replacement files” checkbox. Click “OK” to save your changes and close all windows, then restart your computer.
- After restarting, repeat the steps to return to the Virtual Memory tab. Select the System Selectable Size checkbox and click Set. Then select the automatically select Exchange site check box again. Save changes and restart the system.
- Then any damaged parts of the paging file will be deleted. If the blue screen with the Page Fault in Nonpaged area stop code cannot be enabled, continue to the next step.
