I am having identical problem, from your description. Nearly continuous BSD with
varying error messages indicating mcafee files or system files (eg:nabtsfec.sys,win32ksys).
I've also received messages without a file specified as in "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA"
and a couple of others. The most recent novelty is the BSD accompanied with the
startup sound skipping like a scratched record. I updated my Mcafee virus def files
to no apparent effect.
I'd really like to avoid a complete reformat, so any help would be appreciated.
The only recent changes to the system was the installation of DNSKong and Folding@Home
-- both of which I have disabled to no avail.
I have restored system files and the problem reappears after a couple of hours. I
have replaced the entire xp and docs/settings directories with older versions and
the problems reappear within a few hours.
The system is an AMD VIA chipset, 512 meg ram, WinXP Home, FAT32,Creative Live!Drive
Sound, ATI All-in-Wonder Rage 128. It is multi-boot XP/Win98 with no indication of
problems in Win98 on the same machine.
If there are other details I can provide to assist with diagnosing, please let me
know. I'm at my wits end.
