    Hi Jimmy,

    If you get the STOP 0x0000000A or 0x0000001E error message, this behavior
    can occur if the Pagefile.sys file is damaged.

    To resolve this issue, first note the size of your paging files, set the
    paging file size to zero, run Chkdsk, and then restore the original values:

    1. In Control Panel, double-click System.

    2. Click the Performance tab, and then click Change.

    3. For each drive that contains a paging file, click the drive, note the
    size of the file, and then type a zero in the Initial Size and Maximum Size
    boxes.

    4. Click Set, and then click Close.

    5. In the System Settings Change box, click No.

    6. For each drive that contains a paging file, type the following command
    at a command prompt, and then press ENTER

            "chkdsk drive: /f /r" (without the quotation marks)

      where drive is the letter of the drive that contains a paging file.

    NOTE: If you have more than one paging file, run Chkdsk on non-system
    partitions first because you must restart the computer after you run Chkdsk
    on the system partition.

    7. After all relevant drives are checked, restart the computer.

    8. Reset the size of each paging file to its original values.

    9. Restart the computer again.

    Note: the following article is the steps for moving the paging files. You
    can move the paging file form partition C to partition D. I think 961MB MB
    is good for 768MB phisical RAM. You need not open the paging file on
    partition E unless you have application which needs more memory.
