NoCalMike Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 So yeah this is the message I get when I boot up my computer. Right now I am booted up in SAFE mode. What does this error mean? From the info I have gathered it is most likely a memory issue, but I am not sure if it is the actually memory RAM itself. or if it just the computer's software f-ing up and not being able to read it. Don't want to start spending any money on this problem until I have a better understanding of what to do. I have a Dell Dimension 9100 series. 1GB RAM. I assume it is one stick and not 2 sticks of 512 inside the shell. HELP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Maybe this will help http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/page-fault-in-non-paged-area-error/ The F8 or system restore would be my suggestion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Haha what a coincidence I was just on that page. Hmmm...maybe I do have 2 sticks of 512mb because if I only had 1 stick of a gig and it was faulty then how would I even be able to have booted up in SAFE mode and be online right now? Hmm...

frostyj Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Run a chkdsk and check attempt to recover bad sectors. It will force you to re-boot and may take a little time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fault might be not showing up because the program (in memory) is not booting in safe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drums and skins Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I'd second frosty's advice and run a CHKDSK /r on the system. the /r switch will search for bad sectors and can take longer than an hour finish, dependent on the size of your hard disk drive.
