Problems Starting Up Windows XP (Urgent!!!!) Wednesday, September 18, 2002 at 12:04 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Eduardo Cestone (4 messages posted) 2 Weeks ago i formatted my pc and tried to install windows XP. It installs perfectly, but after a few hours (just when i think it might work) it shuts down (says "Critical Error, preparing to shut down"). When i turn it on again it shows that feared "blue screen" with the following message: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA stop: 0x00000050 Error in NDIS.SYS Sometimes it appears the same blue screen but with this: Stop 0x0000007E At first i thried to solve it with a BIOS upgrade, it worked well for a couple of days and then, the same mistake. Please help me, i cannot go back to Me, due to a license issue, so i have to get this one started. Responses to this message: re: Problems Starting Up Windows XP (Urgent!!!!)
