Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area when playing Minecraft?

Hello! So back in March, I bought an Acer Nitro computer, here are the specifications for it:

Device name LAPTOP-NA4VTMSL

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9300H CPU @ 2.40GHz 2.40 GHz

Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.84 GB usable)

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display

It runs Sea of Thieves EXTREMELY well, no problems whatsoever, it can run World of Warcraft, Overwatch, pretty much any game I try my hand at, it'll run excellently. However recently I tried playing Minecraft with some mods downloaded from CurseForge, and I had a Blue Screen after like an hour of playing, with the error "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I tried removing all the mods and playing on just the base game itself, and I still get that same blue screen.

I've read that it can be both Hardware OR Software related, so first I did a Memory Diagnostic, and after four passes, all was good, then I checked my Hard Drive, and it said no bad files were found. Then I went and made sure all of my drivers were up to date, that my Java was up to date, everything that Minecraft runs off of. I went to play it, blue screened again, with the same error. I need to know what exactly is causing my computer to crash, is Minecraft using too much memory? Or is it not using enough? Sometimes, the game itself will just freeze and crash instead of blue screening me, but most generally it will give me that blue screen & error code. I just wanted to get everyone's opinion before I go and change how much RAM is being allocated to Minecraft at a time.

@Dakota_Or_Something firstly, change the java 8 to use the Nvidia graphics card like here

For increasing the RAM allocation, find the JVM arguments in each version and change the 2G to somewhere like 4G or 6G since you only have 8GB of RAM.

@Dakota_Or_Something when you are playing in a map, press F3 and post the screenshot here. Also, what launcher are you using?

Here is the client without mods: (1.18)

(Where it says Mem, I noticed that it kept zooming from 52% to 99%, 1064 MB to 2040 or around the lines, so it was near maxing without mods.)

And here is the client with mods: (1.12.2)

It was doing the same thing here, bouncing between 41% and 99%.

And my launcher;

I think I may need to allocate more RAM since it keeps trying to max itself out on both clients?

Okay @AnhEZ28 , I have allocated 4 gigs of memory to Minecraft (Edit: I also did what you said to do regarding Java, everything is set to high performance Nvidia), it's running a LOT smoother, I can even run my shaders now (I was unable to before because it would cause me to lag). With shaders going, my Memory barely goes above 25%, I will give it a little bit to see if my computer crashes but as of right now it's not giving me any inkling that it's going to, I'm feeling really good about this and I think this could have potentially been a solution!
