Hi Malwartips.
I'm having random BSOD on my little itx ryzen system. The commonality in the various stops code seems to be page fault in non-paged area & unresponsive driver type messages.
I've run memtest86 on my ram sticks and they showed no errors so i think the problem might be my boot drive, the Lexar NM800PRO.
I get "healthy" ratings in CrystalDisk but the speeds are Slowpoke af.

Does this look like a failing NVMe stick?
I can't reproduce the crashes. Its very random. File explorer is now taking 10s to open which is driving me crazy.

Hi there!

Based on the symptoms you've described, it's possible that your Lexar NM800PRO NVMe drive could be causing the issues on your system. The slow speeds and the errors you're experiencing could indicate a failing or malfunctioning drive.

To further validate this, you can try running some diagnostic tools specific to your SSD, such as Lexar's own SSD Toolbox or other third-party software like CrystalDiskInfo. These tools can provide more detailed information about the health and performance of your drive.

If the diagnostics confirm that the drive is indeed failing or showing signs of degradation, it's recommended to back up your data immediately and consider replacing the NVMe stick to prevent any further issues and potential data loss.

Hope this helps, and best of luck with troubleshooting your system!

If you install Hard Disk Sentinel it will tell you instantly if there are any problems with the SSD. Nirsoft's BlueScreenView will read the crash dump (if one was saved) and may be able to tell you what driver is causing the blue screens.
The highlighted line in BlueScreenView for each crash is the one starting with "ntoskrnl.exe". Hard Disk Sentinel lists the disk status as perfect.

Running sfc found some disk errors and said it fixed them but running dism hangs at 62.5%.
