Hispanic82023 Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Anyone know what the heck causes that critical error? It's been happening every so often on XP. Just using AIM or closing an IE window I would get a BSOD and it would say "Page fault in nonpaged area".. I hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM5K Posted February 9, 2002 Share Posted February 9, 2002 Check your ram, there are some ram testing applications, search on Google. If you happen to have some extra ram swap out the sticks until you find the bad one, or remove one until you find the bad one. If you have one you might want to get a new one. Easiest way is to use a ram checker, it will tell you what you need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
