Both minidumps cited 0x50: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA which results when 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).

Both times wrong symbols was noted and therefore unreadable plus ntoskrnl.exe was mention and this is a good indication that you have corrupted memory.

So I suggest you run MemTest on your RAM for a minimum of 7 passes and if you have any errors you have RAM that needs to be replaced.

Attach more minidumps if you have them. Also, give us your system specs.

Sorry for the delay but we had a very powerful Nor'easter come through yesterday and it knocked my power out for over 24 hours.

All five of your minidumps were unable to load the correct symbols and all five listed Core Windows OS drivers. 4 out 5 cited NDIS.sys and I want you to read the following link: http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...sys-error.html

I suggest the following:

1. Run ChkDsk

2. Run a full harddrive diagnostics

3. Scan for viruses, etc. By the way, excellent choice of antivirus.

What is your motherboard chipset?

You may need to do a Windows repair, but lets see what happens after you do the other steps.

Driver cited vsdatant.sys which belongs to Zone Alarm. You asked in an earlier post if it might be related to this product. Did your BSODs occur after you installed this?

I cannot really tell this because is one of the first programms i installed in my computer. So my computer was running only about 2-3 hours with fresh install of OS and then i installed it. I am using this firewall since i can remember and i don't know any other firewall that is good or better than this. Is it possible the problem is caused by Zone Alarm ? Should i remove it ?

First, disable your firewall and see if you get any more crashes.

Online Armor free is a good one. Some like Comodo which is also a free firewall.

I would run a full harddrive diagnostics. That error warning concerns me. Your HD manufacturer will have a free utility.

WD makes a great utility. Oasis, just wanted you to know that I have to leave town this evening and I won't be back until late Saturday evening. I didn't want you to think I am ignoring/forgetting you.

It didn't cross my mind my friend...

So WD Diagnostics in extended test it says success...So i guess no errors - bad sectors was found right ? If so why chkdsk says unexpected error ?

It could be it is with your file system. There is a way to to do chkdsk /r for repair (notice the space between the k and the /r. Look online on how to do it.

If WD found bad sectors it will tell yo a) either it found and fixed or b) was unable to fix.
