    Hey, I am having trouble with my laptop when I am running autocad. When I try to copy paste anything between .dwg files the laptop goes to bluescreen citing a problem with igdpmd.sys and PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. It is really frustrating and I am not sure what I can do to fix/stop this from occuring. My laptop has an i7 processor, 4gb of ram and a radeon 1gb dedicated graphics card. It outspecs other laptops in my office that have no problem performing the same task. Very confused.

    This error is pointing to a problem with your Nvidia video graphics driver. Have you applied all the windows updates including all the optional updates?

    Hey, thank you for your response. I have update all the windows updates including optional updates but still continue to have the blue screen crash. The graphics card is a AMD Radeon™ HD 6630M / Intel® HD Graphics 3000 and this is my laptop: http://www.sony-asia.com/product/vpccb17fg

    Do you have any minidumps to post? Look at the first thread in this area for instructions on how to post them

    I have three and I tried to follow the instructions but when I navigate to the minidump file location nothing shows up in my attach window -- there is only one option for file type 'all files' but I note that .dmp is not one of the file types listed under all files... I'm sorry I must be missing something very obvious

    Go to C:\windows\minidump. Minidump files have a .dmp extension. select all the .dmp folders and right-click sending them to a compressed(zipped)folder. Upload that folder as a file here

    Ok the files are attached hopefully correctly haha - It may also be relevant although I am not sure but my laptop screen will often black out for a second and when it recovers a window pops up saying that the display driver stopped working and has recovered. Thank you!

    All the same and the video driver is still causing the problem... Whatever it is :)

    If the video drivers are up to date and this is happening is it likely that the video driver is faulty? thank you so much for your help. I thought I may have needed to install more ram or something but I guess if I take it into the shop they might be able to replace the graphics card or something. thanks again!

    No problem :) They might want do do a factory restore. This could be caused by a program or driver conflict. There's just not enough information at this point to narrow it down any further
