I'm running windows 10 build 14393 on a laptop.
Some backstory: I've been getting very frequent BSODs with the error being "kernel security check failure"- about once every 2 days. I think I finally narrowed the issue down to being caused by my new usb 3 hub. I unplugged the hub and got no BSODs for about a week- at least until today.
Today I got a BSOD but instead the error was "Page Fault in nonpaged area" (a message that I've never seen on this computer before). The file concerned was cdd.dll. What could be causing this type of BSOD?
My ram is new (got it around the same time as the USB hub- 2 months ago). However, this is the first time I've gotten the page fault error message in the 2 months with the new ram, and the "kernel security check failure" errors kept occurring when I put the old ram in as a test. Memtest also completed 1 pass fine. Other than that, no hardware has been "changed" per-se, but I did open my laptop and put it back together to replace the screen which had broken.
If you'd like to read the above paragraphs in bullet form:
- 2 months ago: Replaced screen
- 2 months ago: Changed RAM
- 1.6 months ago: Started using new USB hub
- 1.5 months ago: Started getting BSODs "Kernel security check failure" fairly regularly.
- 1 month ago: Put the old ram back in
- 1 month ago: Memtest completed successfully
- 1 month ago: Continued to receive kernel security check failure BSODs
- 1 week ago: Stopped using USB hub
- 1 week ago: stopped receiving kernel security check failure BSOD
- Today: got a BSOD "page fault in nonpaged area" with the file being cdd.dll
- Today: chkdsk completed succesfully
