    I just alt tab'd out of a game and bsod showed up with that error. Should i be worried? I'm running a gt72. I go out of town for 3 weeks tomorrow and its my only source of entertainment.

    Did it say page fault in nonpaged area or was the wording different, this isn't much to go on. That said, if it involves the nonpaged pool memory, it involves data that has to be in RAM if I recall correctly. It could be a program trying to do something it's not supposed to or it could be something else. You really haven't given us much to go on.

    If the bsod data is still in a dump file, you may have success retrieving more information using whocrashed.
