I have recently upgraded my motherboard/CPU/memory and
have had too many problems to recall them all. I need to
know if I'm having an XP problem, or a hardware problem.
Specifically, the most common error is the dreaded blue
screen, usually a "page fault in a non-paged area". Any
time I attempt to troubleshoot/change/fix a problem,
there it is again. It happens so often sometimes that XP
will fault continously until I go in via safe mode and
remove something. So far I've lost faxing,printing,the
sound card and any form of stability. I was forced to re-
install XP on a NEW drive just to get it working. And
have had so many problems along the way that I have to
know what the error is about to even guess what is
causing it. It is looking like I mite have to wipe out
everything again and start over, but I already did that
once, and still have the same problems. There has to be a
way to trace the cause of this error. Otherwise there is
no way to "fix" it. XP was up, stable, and reliable with
the old board (including the same video board, sound
card, hard drive, modem, DSL, CD-rom, XP and all of it's
service packs.). I just wanted to step up the speed with
some of the latest speed gear. I can't send back the
motherboard combo without knowing what is causing the
errors. Can you refer me to a list of page fault errors
with discreptions of what they mean please? I never have
been able to find a list of all the various error codes
for XP. I had found a good source for 98 codes though,
but that does not help much. (this one was not even
mentioned in it, and I've been using XP for over a year
now.)
