BSOD while palying online video

by prasoot . Updated 16 years, 2 months ago

Hi I am getting BSOD on my DELL inspiron E1505 laptop while I play any online video for few minutes. The blue screen has error “Page_fault_in_non_paged_area”.

I have recently done these activities on my laptop –

1. Have formatted the hard drive and done fresh installation of Windows XM Media Center Edition.

2. After getting the blue screen errors, I ran the DELL Diagnostic tool for blue screen errors on my system. I have 2 512 MB RAMs on each of the two RAM slots. Initially the test hanged. Then I removed 1 RAM stick from one of the slot(B) and ran the test again and the test was passed. Then I took out the RAM Stick from SLOT A and inserted in SLOT B. Then again the test failed. Then I inserted the SLOT B RAM stick into SLOt A and again test passed. That concluded that whenever I put any of the RAM stick in SLOT B the test fails other wise the test passes.

Now if I boot my system running with one RAM in SLOT A, my system boots without problems until I play online video from a site like youtube. After runnig the video for say 15 minutes, I get the BSOD again. Now my computer faces problem in booting again. I also feel that the Place near the RAM slots are quite heated and when I change the RAM stick in the same slot , the computer boots easily again.

I am sure there is some issue with RAM SLOT B but this is not all, it seems there is some overclocking issue also that took me to BSOD when I run the video having the one RAM in Diagnostics passed scenario (having one RAM stick in SLOT A).

Can anyone suggest a resolution.
Thanks in advance.
