Can you find a memory test program to download? It would also be a good idea to run an up-to-date virus scanner just in case. Amelia |

If you have the original disc with da operating system, you could try
to re-install. If you don't have the disc, I'd recommend getting Linux. It never does this. Fred Cory wrote: In article , says... Foizt ting, twry fonink Dell, summtymez day are uh gudgud hewlp. If the computer was bought "used" or second-hand, Dell won't help, I'm pretty sure. You have to have bought the computer from Dell or one of their authorized resellers... not from a friend or the like. --- Unca Cory "Tabbeycat" wrote in message ... My catputer is messin up.

Dad sez check the RAM first. Might be a loose stick, or
even dust buildup, but most likely a failing stick. www.ubuntu.com has a memtest utility (memtest86+) that found a failing stick in an office computer that the Dell diagnostics didn't get. There's another one at www.ultimatebootcd.com. Or....he sez if you can get ahold of some known good memory, swap it out a stick at a time, to find the bad one. It *is* possible that it's the system board, or even the power supply, but the "nonpaged area" error looks more like the RAM itself...and that's the easier fix anyway... Purrs for an easy solution!
