The Preliminaries: here are my system specs:

Windows XP Professional

AMD Athlon XP 3200+ Barton

Tell me if you need anything else.

Windows has frequently been crashing on me lately, the same "Page Fault in Non Paged Area" error on every bsod. The error happened once when I had 512MB (2x256MB DDR333, CL 2.5) of HP RAM in the system and opened a DivX file, but since I have replaced that RAM with a full GB (2x512MB DDR400, CL 2.5) of Corsair, the error has become much more frequent. The computer has crashed while playing an .mp3 on Winamp, while sitting there doing nothing at all, and twice in Pinball while exiting from full screen mode. The most recent error was this morning, the second Pinball crash, specifically.

Naturally I contacted Corsair's tech support last week, when all but the most recent crash had already occurred, and naturally Corsair's tech support passed the buck and said my hard drive was to blame.

I defragmented the hard drive five days ago and ran the Error Checker on reboot. The Error Checker found nothing, but then, it was only on for one second or so--I don't know if it's supposed to be that fast; I remember Scandisk taking quite a bit longer on older versions of windows. Still, it didn't find anything "wrong."

I also ran Memtest 3 times and will run it again overnight if necessary, but it turned up no errors. Corsair guarantees that it is compatible with my motherboard.

During the most recent crash (which, as indicated, happened after contacting Corsair and doing the hard drive check and memtest), the system beeped twice before issuing the blue screen. I... don't know if that's significant, but if the orange LED light is any indication, the computer was probably writing something to the hard drive when I pressed Esc in Pinball.

Here is my Hijack This log just after turning the system back on this morning (I retested Pinball; no crash this time. It appears to be a random occurrance). I don't know if it'll help, but hey, the more information the better.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for any help you can give.

 

Did you upgrade your graphic card drivers recently ???

If yes may that's your problem you have a ATI cards i think try to go back
one version.

Hope this help.....

 

I've had a similar problem and fixed it by going into the BIOS > Advanced Chipset > then setting the timings to 3-4-4-8 and change all the GAT settings to "auto" (game accelerator, cycle refresh, etc, etc)

also if you get a stop error in the BSOD, post it, it might help ... especially if it also points to a driver

 

Correcting the video card driver didn't work.
Am now trying the RAM thing. Will see if it can last without crashing.
