During bootup, I am getting the fault messge "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I
have been doing research and most of the answers I found are related to
memory errors or other hardware problems. I installed Trend Micro Internet
security 2008 and everything was working fine. The customer said she was
having a problem and when I went on site, I noticed that the system somehow
had a virus. I managed to get the virus removed, but now I am getting that
Page Fault. It is possible that the Pagefile is corrupted? Can you please
give me a sequence of steps to try? Also, the XP Pro system does boot in Safe
Mode just fine.

Results of the AV Scan:

The fault does link to memory,if you want to overwrite the page-file,open
system properties,advanced,virtual-memory,set C: to "no page file",click
set 2X,close out,restart pc.Once in xp,go to run,type:cmd In cmd type:
Defrag C: Once thru,type:EXIT Open system properties,set C: to "let windows
manage" set 2X,close out,you'll get the prompt to overwrite
page-file,restart pc.

The malware your post mentioned are not viruses. You should not rely on
a single product to detect and remove malware.

You also need to make sure there are no remaining infections in System
Restore points.

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

(e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).

Check the hard drive for bad sectors by running chkdsk /f /r

Check the System log of Event Viewer for Error Reports.

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in the
System log in Event Viewer for the last boot. No Information Reports or
Duplicates please. Indicate which also appear in a previous boot.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What
drivers are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not checked.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your help!

I followed the steps you outlined, but the defrager did not run. I think
because in Safe Mode, it can't. I still had to boot in Safe Mode after
overwriting the page-file.

The last time I tried to boot XP normally, a different error appeared:

STOP 0x000000BE
"An attempt was made to write to Read Only Memory"

I will post a response with some more information to Gerry's post.

Thanks,
David

Hi Gerry,

Thanks so much for your help!

I did not get a chance to run the hardware troubleshooter yet.
I tried running chkdsk upon reboot, but it does not run and gives the message:
"type of filesystem is raw" so it can't run chkdsk.
I looked in "Computer Management -> Disk Management" and the disk shows to
be healthy and is a NTFS partition. So why can't chkdsk run? Maybe a driver
problem?

I booted the system normally to see if something in the event logs would be
helpful.
After the STOP error appeared, I rebooted into Safe Mode an examined the
System Event Log. Results:

Here is the BugCheck System Log Event:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x100000be
(0xf1b34af8, 0x03e64121, 0xf8b01980, 0x0000000a). A dump was saved in:
C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini091908-03.dmp.

Here is the driver load fail event in the System Log Event:
Application popup: : \SystemRoot\system32\spndt.sys failed to load

I have not tried sigverif.exe yet.

Thanks,
David

This link explains the chkdsk message. Note most downloadable tools here
are not free.

Also another data recovery tool -not free:
http://www.easeus.com/datarecoverywizard/recover-raw-drive.htm

Are you able to back up important data or are you prevented from doing
that? Do you have a Windows XP CD which would enable you to reformat the
drive and start again?
