Drewdatrip Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 Im wondering if the copy of Xp is retail or what. If its off the net try to get another copy or burn another one. It sounds like some corrupt files or somthing of that nature.:beer-drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Posted January 17, 2002 Share Posted January 17, 2002 ive used every version down to the ones that came with the card, graphics seems to be fine, this is the main error i get now:PAGE_FAUT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA0x00000050 [/quote:c919dfb44e]That error code is related to RAM.I notice in one of your posts you said you replaced your processor,and this is when the problem started.Is there a possibility you may of accidently knocked the RAM when fitting the new chip.Check it for proper seating.How many sticks of RAM have you got installed?If you've got more than one,try each one on it's own to see if that cures the problem.

Matt Posted January 18, 2002 Author Share Posted January 18, 2002 rev i have 2x 256 mb SD RAM in, they are on the other side of the board to the processor, they are fine, ive tried them in a different machine, im starting to think that my hard drive is just buggered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Booger Posted January 18, 2002 Share Posted January 18, 2002 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...b;EN-US;q222635another solution would be to reinstall after a good clean format of that buggered HDD. That might solve your entire malady, though I think the previous posters methods are all very good indeed.Big Booger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewdatrip Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 Well in that case, take a look in your Mobo book and find "slot#1" of you mem banks. Some times not having a ram stick in the #1 bank can cause problems.-drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSNwar Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 All good answers from some very experienced techies!Heres what I would do (he):1. Prepare for some hardware and software work (roll up your sleeves and grab a six pack).2. Install only one stick of RAM in the Number 1 RAM slot (refer to the mobo book or just place it in the slot closest to the CPU). Remember, you can add the other stick later. Take long slug of that beer.3. Power-up that bad boy and see what happens. If it crashes again, power-down and replace that stick of RAM with another one in the same slot. Power-up once more. Take another long slug of that beer.4. If the machine crashes again start saving data and anything else important to you saved somewhere other than on the dard drive (to the best of your ability). Forget the error messages at this point because we are going to eventually wipe the hard drive and start all over with a clean installation of Windows. More beer and start thinking about pizza delivery.5. That was a long stressfull process. So take a break with the first available babe and release some tension.6. You already updated the BIOS so ... Grab that hard drive utility and fdisk/format using the auto options to install Windows on NTFS (recommended) or 32bit file structure. Now we have a nice clean hard drive to work with. Pizza should be there by now and that six pack needs replaced!7. Now install WinXp. You have a few installation choices depending on your edition of WinXP.a. If it is the full version then you can boot from the WinXP CD. Power-up and enable boot from CD-ROM in the BIOS setup, i.e. CD-ROM, C, A or CD-ROM, A, C. Your choice. Remember to change it back later. Save and exit the BIOS setup. The PC will eventually message out that an operating system is not installed (something like that). Insert the WinXP CD into the CD-ROM drive and power-down the PC. Power-up again and the WinXP CD will start the installation. Have Fun, Have More Beer, and get back to us.b. If your WinXP edition is the upgrade you can either install your previous operating system and upgrade to WinXP (NOT RECOMMENDED). You already know how to do this.c. If your WinXP edition is the upgrade you can perform a Clean Install. BIOS boot sequence should be A, C, CD-ROM. Boot from a Win98SE boot disk with CD-ROM support, Run setup.exe from the CD-ROM, and have your previous windows operating system CD handy for varification.There are other ways to perform a clean install and these forum members know them all. Wait for them to expound on the methods and maybe you will choose something else.Don't forget to install the extra RAM. But wait after 10 boots or so to see if the error messages plague the system. If so, replace the bad stick with another of the same specifications.Now install you applications - but defrag after you install any major mellons. Keep the hard drive tidy.Your page file was corrupted previously and running system clean-up and system tools as previously suggested sometimes has its good points. Keep that in mind. WinXp on an Athlon system is very picky about RAM so don't mis-match or use cheap RAM. Cheap women cause fewer problems and I highly recommend them.MSNwar - The FatManNote to forum members: Please take it esy on me cuz I learned most of it from you anyway:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toastycheese678 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I got the page file error frequently until i switched the memory in my computer. Since the switch i never got the error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChunkDog Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 It could be your processor too, if you just bought it, then return it for another one. But if the previous posts fix your problem then dont bother with the processor thing, but make sure to narrow it down before it gets too late and you cant return your products.

^_^ Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Yup, put the old processor back in, and don't change a single other thingif that fixes the problem, warranty the new processor.if not, then it's a long process of elimination.BTW, that mobo doesn't happen to have an SIS chipset does it?I was too lazy too look it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
