Hey guys I took a day off from gaming on my Vista PC two days ago (a rare occurrence) and went upstairs to play Kingdom Hearts instead.
When I returned the following morning and booted the computer, I was met with a BSOD after seeing the loading page and a cursor for about a second. The computer proceeded to reboot and repeat.
From what I could read, the blue screen was due to a Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area error. I tried rebooting in each of the Safe Mode options, and they work so I hope that I can rule out hardware failures.
I'm on the afflicted computer right now in Safe Mode with Networking so I can attach the minidump files below. The first five are from the morning where I recognised the issue, the last four are from this morning.
My diagnosis so far is that it is some kind of software issue due to a recent windows update.
