Hello HP Community,
I am experiencing a recurring system crash on my HP Omen 15 laptop (OMEN Laptop - 15-ek0770ng) with the following BSOD:
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Analysis points to the GlPciSD.sys driver (Memory Technology Device / card reader) as the likely cause. This crash occurs almost daily, disrupting work and risking data loss.
Steps I’ve Already Tried:
Verified RAM with diagnostics; no errors found.
Checked Event Viewer; no conclusive memory errors.
- updated BIOS to version F.15
Attempted updating the Genesys Logic SD card reader driver:
Installed the latest HP driver (v1.1.14.0, 27.05.2020) — still causes crashes.
Installed Windows 10 driver (v1.1.14.0 revA, 17.11.2020) manually — installation reports success but version remains unchanged.
Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver — version reverts to old driver again.
Checked Windows Update — no newer driver offered.
Problem:
HP does not provide a Windows 11 driver for this device.
Warranty has expired, so standard support options are unavailable.
Request to the Community / HP:
Is there an official Windows 11-compatible driver available for this device?
If yes, could someone provide guidance on installing it successfully, given that the manual install attempts fail?
I’ve found a similar request from 2020 where the solution suggested contacting HP Support, but this is not possible in my case due to warranty expiration. I hope the community or HP engineers can provide a safe and working driver or installation method.
Thank you for any guidance!
Solved! Go to Solution.

You're very welcome.
I visited the Microsoft Update Catalog website and found a W11 driver that has support for the hardware ID you posted.

Hi:
The latest W10 driver on the 15-ek0xxx model series' support page is this one:
OMEN 15-ek0000 Laptop PC series Software and Driver Details
Have you tried the above driver?
If so, the only other suggestion I can offer would be to see if the info at the link below is of help to you:

Hi, thanks a lot for your reply!
Regarding the Alcor Micro driver — my hardware ID is PCI\VEN_17A0&DEV_9750, which corresponds to Genesys Logic, not Alcor. So I don’t think that driver would apply to my device.
I did try this though:
If you (or anyone else) know of a newer Genesys Logic driver for Windows 11, I’d really appreciate any guidance.
Thanks again for taking the time to help!
