repeated blue screen stop error 0x50 page fault

0x00000050 (0xfbfffff8, 0x00000000, 0x8054aa32, 0x00000000)
page fault in a non-paged area
event id 1001 (it says there is a log but I can't figure out how to get to
it) and also says something about disabling or removing newly installed
hardware (none) or software (see below) and disable BIOS memory cache and
shadowing (not sure how).
Periodically in the past I have gotten auto re-boot but now happens every
few minutes (same error every time, I believe), so I disabled the auto
re-boot. It will run in safe mode without the stop error.
I spent hours reading here but so far only found rather general suggestions:
suspect bad memory, motherboard or other hardware failure, malware.
I did find a KB article on checking the driver files for malware, but didn't
find any suspect files. I don't know how to check the others. Windows
defender auto updates and runs every day. I ran windows live one care virus
check a couple of weeks ago. All good.
A couple of weeks ago, a .net framework 3.0 update failed and I had to get
help from MS support to get that resolved. There was also an update for my AC
97 audio device that caused no audio after install so I rolled it back and
everything seemed fine. I had it where it would run for days without an
error.
A few days ago, I downloaded Hijackthis and shortly after I downloaded an
uninstaller. All seemed fine. I have ATTYahoo dsl so I've had their newer
Norton AV for a few months that wants to run continuously and has never
workred right. I have as much of it disabled that I can.
I have xp sp2 with an Elitegroup 741GX-M motherboard with an AMD Athlon and
640mb ram, 40gb hd, 75% full (chkdsk is running now).
It wasn't an expensive computer and is going on 3 years old. About a year
ago, it failed to load the windows loader screen so I attempted repair with
the windows disk and it worked but I've problems since. I don't really want
to buy a new one, since I have so much effort into it and has all my programs
and and files on it, so if I could nurse it along awhile longer, it would be
great, but at some point I might just have to give up on it.
I thought system restore might be a good idea but I have no idea how to
proceed if that fails. Should I proceed with the instructions on the blue
screen? I'm an older user so not the most computer literate guy around so any
assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Latest update: chkdsk ran over night, windows started and ran idle for 9
hours without a stop error but just now after looking at the event viewer for
a few minutes, same blue screen stop error, page fault, but with a different
3rd parameter, 0x8054b7c3.
