    Hi There,

    I have be getting more frequent issues with my rig lately- mainly a BSOD happening frequently. Yesterday it was every time I logged in. Today its been less.

    The BSOD is as follows:

    disk.sys

    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

    Stop: 0x00000050 (0xFFFFFADF56979360, 0X0000000000000000, 0XFFFFFADF291B7290, 0X0000000000000000.

    disk.sys - Address FFFFFADF291B7290 base at FFFFFADF291B3000.

    I reinstalled the drivers for my video (to the latest) as it was suggested in one of my Google searches. Sadly it didn't work.

    One thing I have found is there is a big pink square in the middle of the BSOD.

    Any ideas? It also hung at POST a few times when restarting. Well IMO it just never managed to get past it. Nothing was displayed on screen, no beeps from internal speaker, just the fans going... :(

    It is a fairly new install of XP 64 as well, since the windows 7 RC ran out and i've got no money for an upgrade- so xp it stays.

    Any ideas on what I can do to fix the problem?

    Cheers,

    Brett

    I found this solution for the same disk.sys 0x50 error running 64 bit XP.

    Check your hd and DVD-RW positions.

    Thanks for the reply. Funnily enough I just found that link just as you posted. I will check it out when I get home from uni.

    Cheers,

    Okay then. Pulled all the SATA plugs out and started again.

    1- OS HDD (500GB)
    2- Documents HDD (1500GB)
    3- DVD Drive

    Now when I try boot I just get a back screen with a flashing "_".

    Now what?

    Played in the BIOS and changed the primary HDD. Booting up now.
