I have been getting crashes in the last month after the first program opens following startup. The error is most often PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and sometimes MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. The issue usually does not happen twice in a row. That is, when the computer restarts after crashing, it normally runs smoothly until I shut it down again.
Running memtest for several hours came up clean. chkdsk did not appear to solve anything or reveal any problems. Windows is up to date.

This custom built machine is approx 1.5 years old, problems began 1 month ago.
EDIT: Crashes just started during "normal" operation instead of simply on startup.

Please run driver verifier (DV) per the instructions in the link below.
Note: Make sure to read and remember the steps to reset DV in the event of a crash, and post a link to the newly generated crash dump here.

Just experienced a Memory Management BSOD after startup with PxHlpa64.sys disabled.

Sidenote, is there any software available to me that would allow me to analyze dump files myself?
I would still say that this is likely related to your NVidia Display.

Navigate to services on your system, locate nVidia Streaming Kernel serviceor something similar, right click on the service and select " disable". Reboot the system**,**then monitor it for a while.
If the crashing stops, then you are good to go. If they continue, try older drivers, preferably nothing older than a year.

Disabled NvStreamSvc, which is described as "Service for SHEILD Streaming", which I never use anyways.
No reduction in crashes.
I'll try to keep investigating nVidia drivers.
I'd like to also report that I've noticed that if I leave my computer idle for some time, when I come back and wake it up out of sleep mode, it will have crashed and recovered (displaying my desktop and the "windows has recovered" box).
So it's not just on startup.
Please respond to my last post.
Please respond to my last post.
Sorry for the delay and thank you for your help and patience.
System file checker turned up nothing (had to run it twice because I experienced a crash mid check the first time, possibly unrelated?)
Ran Chkdsk
Ran Driver Verifier. The windows loading logo actually finished its animation before crashing this time.
