I agree, STOP: 0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA more often is a RAM problem. That's why you can't just lower your RAM latencies and expect them to work properly. Especially during bootup, that stop error code means incompatible RAM, a bad RAM slot, RAM OC'ed too much or bad RAM. Because of the stuff I have been hearing at ocforums.com, if you have Micron D9 RAM chips, probably failing RAM. It appears that Micron needs to get sued, because of not testing their RAM properly!

Your processor may be overheating or you have an bad processor overclock. This is a common symptom for first time processor overclockers.

I dunno what can be done to make Catalyst install on Windows 95? Maybe try extracting the driver files and infs right out of the package.

Sorry, I have at least a couple of games that won't work properly with Windows XP. Thus, I still use Windows 98 SE for those.

If you can't complete the driver installation process with Windows 95 even after some other changes, then try again with Windows 98 SE. Catalyst, at least up to 3.9 will support Windows 98 SE.

It appears that sometimes, Chkdsk makes things on the HDD worse! So if you need to recover data, please use another utility! But, installing the wrong IDE or SCSI driver (not for your chipset) can cause the symptoms you have. Chkdsk probably would only make things worse in that case! A long story, but I had an incident in July, 2003 reguarding my Asus A7N266-VM/AA motherboard, which was my newest DIY PC build at that time. Shame on you, Nvidia, you wasn't straight! Didn't warn me that the IDE driver is for nForce2 only! The Asus A7N266-VM/AA is nForce 1-based. After installing that IDE driver, on reboot, Windows crashed with STOP: 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE then after I rebooted, Chkdsk ran and it reported orphaned files then I couldn't stop it! Afterwards, I discovered that random files were gone, some recent pictures and AVI files taken with my Creative PC Cam 300 were gone!

Looks like a bad USB connection. If you have a USB hub, unplug the USB hub then replug in the USB hub and try again. Some USB hubs seemingly have a problem where Windows randomly reports the USB hub as "Unknown device". If you see that, you're required to reset the USB hub.

That apparently is a broken face of a CD drive.

That often is because of an unsuccessful processor overclock. I see it too with Windows 2000, where it falsely claims NTOSKRNL.EXE corrupted.

I saw the same type of problem occur with a certain HDD. They're may be an incompatibility with certain HDD models and IDE controller combinations.

Could be an overheating processor or bad PSU.

Please reseat the RAM modules and make sure that the contacts are clean before reseating the RAM! Also, replace the CMOS battery and reset the CMOS.

Appears to be in PIO mode!

I dunno, but that sounds more like file corruption. Have you ran any hardware tests?

Are you sure that the BIOS is 48-bit LBA compatible? That error likely is a BIOS issue.

Sounds like HDD corruption, because deleting the prefetch files and the temp files won't cause Windows to crash! Unless there's a certain driver that I don't know of, AFAIK. This may be caused by bad sectors. Please go to http://hddguru.com and get MHDD. If you don't know how to use MHDD, please check the message board at http://hddguru.com When MHDD has been launched and you selected the right HDD, by pressing 1, (except for SATA, which requires another selection at the menu to select the HDD to work on) use the scan command and press the F4 key to start the scan. If you see any "UNC"s or real slow blocks, you have bad sectors, which some types of bad sectors can be corrected.

Disagree, unless you have less than 1 GB of RAM.

Actually, that's true with almost anything under 1.8 Ghz. Also, Intels seem to be better with Windows XP than AMDs, at least earlier ones. I've experienced the same thing as well in regards to old AMD computers. Can't say the what's the story with AMD today. However, when the K6 was classed as AMD's top of the line processor it offered a lousy performance on Windows XP. Even as late as socket A, they're appears to be a bigger performance gap between Windows 2000 and Windows XP than with an Intel, at least with a Pentium 4 and Intel 845E chipset.

Sorry, Windows 9x has a bug that if the swap file is bigger than 768 MB, the Windows 98 loader will display "Insufficient memory to initialize Windows" and make you stay in DOS!

It's probably because you have an Intel chipset.

The MeoW web site is under now! Thus, can't download MeoW!

This sounds like you're using Firefox with the NoScript extension and the NoScript extension is blocking scripts on that web site.

You may have a bad USB connector.

You're in the wrong forum. Windows 9x don't have a "System Idle Process" entry. That exists in the NT family of Windows only!
