Recently working on a HP laptop, I had to try and resolve the following Blue Screen Of Death error:
igdpmd64.sys
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
I performed the standard PC checks, but none of them seemed to solve anything. What was even more annoying is that the Error was not reproducible. It was completely random in occurrence. So commenced the Google Search. In this instance, I was surprised to find how many people were facing the exact same error all at the same time! Further digging I started to finding a common proposed culprit and solution: Windows Update KB2670838.
So the solution is quite simple. Uninstall KB2670838 and everything returns to normal.
Below are a few references:
Microsoft pushes another botched automatic update
frequent blue screen on DV6T caused by igdpmd64.sys
So, yet again, Microsoft has pushed an update that causes catastrophic problems for a huge audience of users! What is worse is a couple months later, they still haven’t released any form of a patch/update to resolve this stupidity. As usual, when it comes to Microsoft, you are completely left to your own devise to figure this problem out and resolve it.
Thank you Microsoft, it was fun spending several hours trying to fix the glitch you caused!
