Hi,

I recently got a graphics card (Nvdia Geforce 8400 gs, details in my system config info) and a while after I put it in my pc, I have been getting Blue screens. I sent the card back but it still seems to have errors. The most recent one was:

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

0x00000050 (0xA66FF8F8, 0x00000001, 0x8251AC7C, 0x00000000)

ntfs.sys - address 8251ac7c base at 82397000 datestamp 4549 aceb

HI estra welcome to PCHF the first thing to do in this case would be Run Chkdsk /f /r to detect and repair disk errors on your had drive and if it still keeps crashing after that we will need to test the memory in your PC. Try the Chkdsk /f /r

To do this:
Step One: Click Start, select Run
Step Two: In the box, type cmd
Step Three: Click Ok
Step Four: Run the chkdsk utility by typing in the following command:
chkdsk c:
..or
chkdsk c: /f /r
NOTE: The /f command automatically fixes any errors encountered, the /r command locates and recovers readable information.
NOTE: I am also assuming the drive you wish to check is the C: drive.
Step Five: A reboot is normally required for the chkdsk program to lock the disk and run correctly (this is typical on machines that have only one volume), so simply restart the computer and chkdsk will run automatically. When it's finished, (This process can take quite a while depending on the size of your disk, etc.), it will boot back to normal Windows.
On Rebooting the PC you will see the disk being checked as in the screenshot below:

This process can take up to an hour!

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
I tried both this and running memtest86 (overnight) and didn't get any errors from either one. I looked this up and it says that it could be the processor as well.
Please help!
