Been at this problem for a few hours and struggling. When I watch a movie/tv/music from a laptop connected to this PC via a simple Windows Workgroup, it will occasionally BSOD with PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. The media is located on a Lacie External HDD. It does not BSOD when on my local drive.

I've run various virus/malware scanners and all is fine. I assume it has SOMETHING to do with my external HDD.

Normally, occasional BSODs are an indicator of a faulty system driver or RAM failure, or a combination of both.

So, update all your drivers and test your RAM with memtest86.

However, external USB drivers are prone to power management complexities.
It might also have to do with that.
