I had a post out a few days ago describing how my system would mysteriously lock up while playing games. Well, it happened again and this time I actually got an error message.
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
I looked this up in the Microsoft Knowledge Base and found that this is caused by faulty memory. The problem is that I don’t know what memory is faulty. I don’t think its the RAM because my computer started freezing even before I installed the new DIMMs. I disabled all caching and shadowing in the BIOS with the exception of the processor cache memory. If possible, could anyone tell me how probable it would be for the cache memory on the CPU to be faulty? Or, could it be the video card memory? If anyone has an insight into this, it wouldbe a great help. Thanks.
