Dear Sirs:
Hope you can assist. HP Pavillion Lapto 6000dv.
Works in safe mode. When using it in regular mode goes into a BSOD. Stop error as follows:
Kernel_Data_Inpage_error With this error I get the 0x0000007a yada yada yada. Occationally I get the following: Kernel_stack_inpage_error
With this error it is 0x00000077 etc...

I think it is software related but any search for these errors gives you multiple things it could be..I need to isolate it down..Memory checks good. Hard disk chkdsk hangs at stage 4 of 5 ..Since it works fine in safe mode I tend to believe it is software. It seems to work to various levels and starts to slow down ..then freeze up...then the Blue Screen pops up...I then have to start all over. It has been a week plus a few days and I have been trying to get this back up and running. PC hardware ..is 1gb of ram. 1.66ghz amd processor. and a seagate scsi 120gb hard disk. I am currently going to look for the *.dmp files to send to Microsoft maybe they can decipher it...Any help would be great. Thanks for your time.

Check to see that it isn't a Pagefile Problem

By default, Windows XP Professional does not clear the virtual memory pagefile when the system is shut down. In some organizations this is considered a breach of security because the data in the pagefile might be accessible to users who are not authorized to view that information. To enable this feature and clear the pagefile each time the system is shut down, start the Group Policy snap-in by clicking Start, Run and type in secpol.msc expand Local Policies, and then select Security Options. Right-click Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile and then click Properties. By default, it is disabled. To force Windows XP Professional to clear the pagefile when the system is shut down, select Enabled.

Go to Control Panel, System Properties and take note of the amount of RAM. Now you need to make sure that the Pagefile is equal to 1.5 times the installed RAM.

Go to Control Panel, System Properties, click on Settings under Performance, click on the Advanced tab, click on Change under Virtual Memory.

Also test your Memory.

Go to this site and read the instructions. Save the ISO version of the file.
