BSOD relating to: page_fault_in_nonpaged_area iomap64.sys

[selsunblue]

I've been getting the BSOD on startup, sometimes happening randomly and other times it starts up fine. The error message on the BSOD said: page_fault_in_nonpaged_area iomap64.sys. I looked online why this error was occurring and it's because of something in the ASUS files. Someone said it was because of ASUS smart doctor, but I don't have that installed so I checked my ASUS folder in the C drive and this file was present in AI SUITE 3, VGA COM, and APRP. Is it alright to delete the iomap64.sys files from those folders?, or will it screw up my pc more. Will disabling AI SUITE 3 on startup help with this?. I really don't want to update my drivers or windows 10 because I had a problem in the past where my pc kept rebooting into another BSOD and had to reformat. Also do I even need those programs to run this computer?. I only game on this and do some uni related work.

 

Thanks.

most likely the issue is old drivers, you probably do need to update drivers

if you have any ASUS software installed, remove it

you can also remove the file, windows doesn't need it
