If you have not already, I advise you open your computer and check these few things: 1. All RAM cards are properly secured 2. Make sure all dust is removed from the RAM 3. Check for corrosion of the chip (Its the copper under the green part, this is a sign your chip needs to be replaced) Be sure all RAM are next to each other Now if this does not fix the problem, please find the System Error In this it is the code which states: Page_Fault_In_Nonpaged_Area this is important, if it has none, it usually means an unknown sudden error happened and the System does not understand what. If you contact Microsoft Tech they can usually find a Crash Dump file on your hard disk stating an error code and should be able to tell you over the phone what the problem is and how to fix it. There is a possibility you have a Memory Resident Virus in your computer which are usually undetectable by programs like the Task Manager or HijackThis because they hide in the RAM or infect a boot file there of. If you are somewhat familiar with MS-DOS command prompt, type this in: BCDEDIT%BCDPATH% -set %
