*sob* Blue screens no matter what I try (Page Fault In Nonpaged Area)

[Hurshwhat]

Unfortunately, my computer, for about a month now, is going into spontaneous bouts of "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA" and "IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL" fits. All games I try to play on the computer are crashing, also.

I've read through this entire thread, and a few others. Ran memtest and tried all the driver fixes, but to no avail. Done full diagnostics on hardware twice, and all passed, so I'm a little lost. I just did I fresh install of XP after replacing my HDD (Which silly technical support said would solve the issue...), and so only have 4 error dumps so far. Thanks a lot for taking your time to read this and for help in any way.

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

2 minidumps crash at nv4_disp.dll. Graphics card driver. They have bugchecks of 50 and 8E.

Update your graphics card drivers.

2 minidumps crash with pool corruption. They have bugchecks of 50 and 8E.

Faulty ram may be the culprit.

Go HERE and follow the instructions.

0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was referenced. Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).

0x0000008E: KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

A kernel mode program generated an exception which the error handler didn’t catch. These are nearly always hardware compatibility issues (which sometimes means a driver issue or a need for a BIOS upgrade).

Thank you so much for the reply! I'll check out the issues with the driver and ram.

just a thought

I noticed that you have an Intel 2200bg wireless card. My computer has this same setup and when I was using Zonealarm as a firewall it would crash everytime I would logon to a wifi site. If I booted the laptop with the wireless switch on it would crash if there was a wireless connection present to log on to even before I got into windows. As soon as I switched to Sygate firewall everything ran well.

Your Nvidia drivers are 78.51, the latest is 84.XX. Also go to DELL website and see if they have chipset driver updates for your mobo 0C5668. While at the Dell download site,look for updates for the integrated network card.

Cheers.
