Blue screens

[piklemeup]

I'm having some random computer crashing. I'm posititive it is due to hardware problems. I did a memory check, and figured out that it wasn't my RAM. I was reading through an article in PC gamer magazine (Canada and US version) and I saw an article talking about hardware problems. I checked it out and the only relevent ones are memory problems and cpu problems. I did a memory check, with no errors, so I'm almost positive it is a CPU problem. They say that it could be due to overheating and something to do with my heatsink. The problem is I have a laptop, and I'm not sure if this can be fixed to easily. Anybody know if I send it in, that I can keep my laptop intact just with a new heatsink or whatever. I already had my hard drive replaced, and I don't want to have to reinstall everything again.

fault in non paged area

BLUE SCREEN fault in non paged area

Hi there i logged on this forum cos i found the cause to a problem
When i searched the net i found this site
And there are 18 pages about this problem but no real cure
The post has been clossed so i cant post the solution there
Perhaps a moderator can merge this info there
Especialy for all those who will search fault in non paged area on google
The first 2 articles you get are from this site

I think i have found it
At least on my system i found the cause and fixed it

The errors i had before
-Some letters not showing up (showing up)=[ sh..w.ng u.]
-irol not less or equal
-fault in non paged area
-PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
-ntfs.sys error
-NT Authority/System restarts after 1 munute

It's not a powersuply error
It's not a wrong driver error
IT'S A RAM PROBLEM

Remove one of your rar dimms

I had all these problems aswell
But after i removed one of my 2 identical rars
The problems are all gone now

So this could well be the problem for other folks aswell

yeah, it could still be my ram. but I did the memory test for a long time, and it didn't find any errors. I could try replacing it, but I'm pretty sure its not the problem

Simply remove one of the dimms and see if the error still ocurs

All the tests i did on my dimms came out possitive aswell
So those tests are not a good way to be shure
Taking one out is

I bought a brand new pc and had these problems
Man i couldn't even instal XP first
I got all kinds of read errors on my XP cd
Tryed a different dvdrom but had the same problems
Got another XP cd Didn't fix it eighter
Removed one of the dimms and install from cd went without problems

Then i put the second dimm back in the pc
And it all looked ok but the error came back
But since i removed the dimm i didn't get 1 error anymore
I will replace both my dimms since it was new i will get them replaced
They even had the same number and all
And the same brand aswell cos i bought 2 identical dimms as a set

Now i can do a virus scan ,run torrent,use msn ,surf the web and ftp at the same time
And to put the cpu at it's max i also copied 10 gb to another disc
All at the same time

Off course my pc became real slow by then with only 1 512 mb in there
But it didn't crash anymore

Before i couldn't even run a complete scan for viruses
And it even crashed when i was only used msn for chatting

So dont count on those ram tests
They dont show every problem

GOOD LUCK

thanks. I would love to remove my sticks of ram, except I'm on a laptop. One is built into my computer, and is hard to remove. If I remove the other one, there goes my warranty I read in a magazine somewhere that my cpu could be overheating, so I'm going to send it into bestbuy. They couldn't fix it the last 3 or 4 times, so I'm probably going to get the whole thing replaced. Maybe I could ask them to change the ram sticks, then give it back, because I would hate to loose everything I have on here.
