Repeated BSOD on Dell XPS-13
I'm seeing repeated BSOD's on my XPS-13 ("page fault in non-paged area"). I've rebuilt it from scratch several times but the same problem crops up within a few days. On the most recent rebuild I've added NOTHING other than default Windows 10 and subsequent updates. No antivirus, no Office 2016, no Hyper-V, no machine specific drivers from Dell, nothing. So far so good but it's only been a few hours. I'd be interested to hear others experience.

I have the exact same problem, with the exception that I have progressed a little further in the build. Specifically, I have installed the drivers as well as Windows (10).
What I did notice is that if I stick the machine in 'airplane' mode, it runs fine ...except of course I then have no wifi, no internet, and two very expensive paper weights.

Thanks Jesse! I performed the steps above yesterday and so far no problems. I did note that when I started and finished the page file was the same size and system managed. In other words, it ended up the same as it started, but I cycled through no page file and then re-created it. I'll update if I see anything different in the coming weeks, but thanks for your suggestion!

UPDATE: it has now been one full week after following Jesse L's instructions and I have not had a single BSOD. I reloaded everything I had running before and it all works fine, just like it should. Interesting to me that I didn't really change the size or settings of the page file from what they were initially; just removed it and set it up again. That seemed to do the trick - thanks Jesse!
