I need an XP genius…
Suddenly my laptop crashed and will not boot up, it keeps resetting to protect it’s self…
I know a bit about computers so I ran in safe mode, no change
I pressed F8 and ran Debug Mode – failed
I pressed F8 and did System Windows Restore and I acctually got it on to the log in pge before it crashed again.
I did system configuration adn it crashed.
The error is:
File: Ntfs.sys
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
I need to disable the BIOS memory Chaching and Shadowing but how do I do this?
You might want to just run MemTest86 to test your RAM. I’ve had this same problem and it was due to a bad RAM stick.
This error could mean that your memory has developed a fault.
Try removing any additional memory from the trap door underneath the laptop. If theres only 1 memory board in there, you’ll need to try with some memory from somewhere else. Otherwise a bit of trial and error swapping memory around to see if one works and one doesn’t
You think that’s a problem? Phew, haven’t you got off light in life. You want real problems – just telephone Samaritans.
Yes… check your RAM for errors this is the most common cause… Other causes could be a corrupted NTFS volume (which could require a clean reinstall) or buggy antivirus software (uninstall and reinstall your antivirus).
Good Luck…
