very similar situation and similar specs - new system - have reinstalled xp 3 times
- to no avail - it might be amd, it might be ram - thiis is a computer from a client
of mine - I have installed xp on various systems at least a dozen times - all satisfied
customers - no bsds like this one (PAGE-FAULT-IN-NONPAGED-AREA) - unfortunately,
the mom is pc ignorant and the main user is a 17yr old guy that seems to think computers
are flawless and if there are any errors, it must be the tech's fault (hehe, if only
the world was this simple) - of all the clients I have this is the last one I want
this to happen to for the simple fact that they do not and refuse to understand that
I did not create all the components nor write the os - I am inclined to give them
my pc to appease them LOL - barring that, any info would be great but if it is
any consolation, none of you are alone. Going to check the ram and will keep you
informed to see if it works.
