Windows XP gone badonk

[Tom Salter]

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA is the lovely welcome I get when I start up my server.

After scouring Technet, it appears this is apparently a hardware failure. So i've nicked some RAM, new CPU and graphics card from work, replaced them all, and it still dies.

Using boot-logging, it dies on loading AGP440.dll (or.sys, I can't remember off the top of my head).

However, before splashing out on a new server, I was wondering if it's worth re-installing XP on top, in case anyone else had this same problem.

U tried Safe Mode, looks like it could be a graphic driver problem judging by the DLL. Id try Safe mode, remove and reinstall (and update) the driver.

[Tom Salter]

Sorry, didn't say that the same happens in safe mode.

You tried re-installing motherboard drivers?

I've got this error a few times before a reinstall sorted it out.

It turned out I was overclocking to much and it was causing errors, but I doubt that applies to your server.

It's very hard to find motherboard drivers, this thing is ancient. P3 450 with 384MB RAM. I shall have a looky somewhere though.

I just attempted a recovery console repair, as per http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;324764

and the same thing happened when trying to log into the recovery console

/me eats Microsoft

You just installed SP2 by any chance?

Insert the Windows XP installation CD-ROM, and then restart your computer.
When the computer starts, press F12.
Start your computer from CD-ROM, and make sure that you select the drive that contains the Windows XP installation CD-ROM.
In the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, select R for repair, and then press ENTER.
Select the installation number for the problem installation.
Type the password for the administrator account of that installation, and then press ENTER. You receive a drive:WINDOWS> prompt, where drive is the drive on which Windows XP is installed.
Type listsvc, and then press ENTER.

Heh, I try to log into the recovery console and it goes FZZZT ZAP PING!

I guess a reinstall is all I can do... :\
