AW: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (a)

Does that mean that my code was paged out?

The address is invalid, the IRQL is not relevant.

No. You have a bad pointer. Look at the address that was referenced in Arg1 of the crash dump.
0xFFFFFFFC. You’ve either stepped on memory or you might be using a handle to something that was already freed.

Look at the code at address 0x80541805. That should give you an idea of what’s going on.

Arguments:
Arg1: fffffffc, memory referenced
Arg2: 000000ff, IRQL
Arg3: 00000001, bitfield :
bit 0 : value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
bit 3 : value 0 = not an execute operation, 1 = execute operation (only on chips which support this level of status)
Arg4: 80541805, address which referenced memory

Your code being paged out only matters if you are running at elevated
IRQL. Instead you have a bad pointer, stale, invalid, whatever, and
are attempting to poke at memory that just doesn’t exist.
