My Dell inspiron usually shows a blue screen after few hours of usage. I've done everything including changing screen and keyboard but it keeps going on.

I really need help on how to fix this.

Your hard drive or ram is gone. That's BSOD BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH

This tin dey fit give heart attack.

Might be a malware or a virus...Take it to a capable technician...Has nothing to with screen or keyboard....At worst, it as storage device problem.

I've formated the system several times. Changed OS but it still appears

For sure. I was working on a client project when it happened. And that moment I didn't save my work.

It was hell

The error you it stated is what should give you an insight into the solution of which your RAM could be the culprit if the issue is caused by hardware.

Educate me sir..

I don't mean that. It's just that from my researches, it has never been mentioned that the problem is associated with motherboard.

The link is not accessible.

When you say "if". Does that mean there are likely to be other conditions causing the blue screen?

Change the hard drive and you'll be fine.

The error is "Page Fault in NonPagged Area", you can Google that, as for the link, nairaland made it bad, just remove the space between the zero and coma. It can either be software (windows issue) or hardware.

Change your RAM.

I will change both RAM and Hard disk as previously advised.
Thanks.

I don't think it's the HDD, since you've formatted it several times and the error still shows.

2 things can cause this issue on laptop motherboard especially on older models.

1. RAM

2. Nec tokin capacitor under your motherboard CPU.
Google the model of your laptop motherboard and see if you find something like the pic below under the CPU, if no then change the ram straight away.

Thanks. I would like to see the pics

This is actually what I do, and when developing a website for a client. The system goes blue...

If you have tried every other possible thing, you should check your mother board. It's the mitochondria of your computer.

Run DPS Test on the HDD and RAM to see if any one of them failed test, if any failed the test, replace it but if not....re-format and re-install the OS or downgrade to windows 7, it might be due to incompatible drivers installed too.
That shud resolve the problem.

It's currently on window 7. How do I run DPS test?

The highest I would spend its just 25k. But are you saying that after fixing the Ram and HDD it will not be fine?

Change the HDD and reload OS, ur PC shud be fine

Thanks so much. But what do you mean by reloading the hard disk.
