Death blue Screen with Page Fault in nonpage area

Hi!!!

I already checked some of the threats related to this error but no luck, I am getting this message no matter what. I have tried the following:

Rebooting by shutting the computer totally down and no luck
Going to Safemode with and without networking
Going to the last good configuration mode
Running the Diagnostics and the results came good, nothing bad found.

No matter what i try to do it always shows up.

Honestly I am not that savvy with this type of issues (more of the network kind of girl), so please be patient with me and help me out to solve this cause i really do not want to reformat the computer.

I have attached a picture of the error, hope that helps.

By the way, is a Dell optiplex 330 running windows XP

Thanks!!!

Hi, this could be a long job, XP is tricky to diagnose in comparison with the newer Windows versions.

Here are the most likely causes in order:

STOP 0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Usual causes: Defective hardware (particularly memory - but not just RAM), Faulty system service, Antivirus, Device driver, NTFS corruption, BIOS.

The MS take:

Cause

Bug check 0x50 usually occurs after the installation of faulty hardware or in the event of failure of installed hardware (usually related to defective RAM, be it main memory, L2 RAM cache, or video RAM).

Another common cause is the installation of a faulty system service.

Antivirus software can also trigger this error, as can a corrupted NTFS volume.
Resolving the Problem

Resolving a faulty hardware problem: If hardware has been added to the system recently, remove it to see if the error recurs. If existing hardware has failed, remove or replace the faulty component. You should run hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer. For details on these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer.

Resolving a faulty system service problem: Disable the service and confirm that this resolves the error. If so, contact the manufacturer of the system service about a possible update. If the error occurs during system startup, restart your computer, and press F8 at the character-mode menu that displays the operating system choices. At the resulting Windows Advanced Options menu, choose the Last Known Good Configuration option. This option is most effective when only one driver or service is added at a time.

Resolving an antivirus software problem: Disable the program and confirm that this resolves the error. If it does, contact the manufacturer of the program about a possible update.

Resolving a corrupted NTFS volume problem: Run Chkdsk /f /r to detect and repair disk errors. You must restart the system before the disk scan begins on a system partition. If the hard disk is SCSI, check for problems between the SCSI controller and the disk.

Finally, check the System Log in Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help pinpoint the device or driver that is causing the error. Disabling memory caching of the BIOS might also resolve it.
