| 430010 | 2006-02-13 13:25:00 | my computer randomly restarts, usually when im doing more than one "heavy" thing on the computer, e.g. burning and using SonicStage etc etc. I have googled it and changed my computer settings so that i get the BSOD before the computer restarts and get the following message when it restarts: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA ***STOP: 0x00000050 (0xA079668B10x 0x00000000, 0x804R30DA 0x00000000) After i have sent the error report when my computer restarts i am taken to a microsoft internet site telling me that i have experienced an unknown driver error. What's wrong with my computer? |

| 430012 | 2006-02-13 19:29:00 | i havent installed anything recently, it has been an ongoing problem but it has recently got worse. sometimes, when i send an error report, i am told that the problem is to do with the driver for my modem, but i havent changed this since my internet has been installed and it has worked fine until recently | ChunkyMunky (9717) | ||

| 430014 | 2006-02-13 20:14:00 | It could be an indication of bad physical memory... run memtest86 (http://www.memtest86.com) and see if any errors turn up. |

| 430015 | 2006-02-13 20:28:00 | actually, i have just installed a new CD/DVD drive, and it does only seem to crash when im burning/ripping, so could this be the problem? i have tried updating driver but it says that the current driver is the best one. will try memtest asap now firefox doesnt work.. :S not responding every time i open it :badpc: |

| 430016 | 2006-02-13 20:32:00 | What version of Windows is installed, and how much ram is in the system? I would also check whether the cd's/hard drives are in DMA not PIO mode. What other IDE devices are inside the case? And what else is on the same IDE connection as the cd/s you just installed? Are the CD/DVD's by themselves on the IDE connection? |

| 430017 | 2006-02-13 22:26:00 | The burning process could be more memory intensive than other ordinary tasks. As previously mentioned by other posters, my suspicions would be * bad memory * a rootkit At least it's easy to check the memory: http://www.memtest86.com/ |

| 430018 | 2006-02-14 11:24:00 | i have run the memtest and left it over night. It ran 15 checks (I guess it ran again once it had finished) and found no errors. How can i find out if it is a rootkit. I have been on the link suggested earlier which is a microsoft help site about a piece of malware but i couldnt find the file to delete which it said to do so i guess i havent got it. Any ideas why firefox now won't work? | ChunkyMunky (9717) | ||
