Re: page_fault_in_nonpaged_area URGENT HELP NEEDED

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have just spoken to another person who has suggested it may be my friends
monitor that is causing the problem. It is an older monitor (4 or 5 years
old) because I have only taken her tower back to my place and used my
monitor and keyboard and mouse. A thought? Her monitor has a separate power
supply (it does not run off the tower power supply like some of the older
computers did). The computer has onboard video. Therefore, along the same
lines of thought, perhaps the mouse or keyboard could be causing the
problem?

I am hoping that someone can give me some ideas as to how to solve this
"problem". As a computer hobbyist I get asked to "repair" systems from
time to time for friends and currently I have an XP Pro system that the
owner had the blue screen of death "page-fault etc" (unfortunately the
owner did not record the error number that would normally show up) and I
was asked to check it out. However, running it in my home workshop the
computer works perfectly well for hours on end! Boots ok, doesn't do any
restarts on its own accord, no BSOD and whilst using at least three
applications (Photoshop & MS Word x2) at a time, handles them all well.
However, after returning it to the owner the system soon starts playing up
again, "page_fault", and rebooting of its own accord or locking up solid!
Would I be correct in assuming this could be a hardware issue (her printer
or video cam or maybe even her household power supply)?


when you checked the machine at your house...
was it with the printer and webcam?
If not...that might have been the problem.

Also...it's possible the "mains" at your friends house have a lot of
"noise" on them...
or have wide voltage fluctuations...You could try running the system on a
UPS and see if that helps
