PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

And what is it doing when it says it is dumping physical memory?

Thanks

Have you installed any Hardware or Software/Drivers before this started happening?

Were you using a particular program when this happened?

There's hard page faults and soft page faults. Hard page faults are when the CPU has to access virtual memory (your hard drive) and soft page faults are located in physical memory. A non-paged area is system memory that can't be written to the hard drive, so it has to remain in physical memory. It sounds like it generates an error because the system can't write the page fault to disk, because it's trying to put it in a non-paged area... and it dumps the data from memory to a hex file somewhere... I could be wrong though!
