invalid page fault errors

[tracgain]

I am having several programs (ics,outlook express, ie) all give me invalid page fault errors. This just started happening on Sunday. Unfortunately I wasn't around, and my kids were playing on the system, so I don't know what they did.

I have tried to restore the system with Win Me, but it says that nothing has changed. I have tried a virus scan, and norton utilities to help locate the problem, but nothing. I have clean booted and safe booted and the errors still happen.

I have swapped memory with my other system, I have turned virtual memory off/compressed the hd/then turned vm back on again. I have tried letting windows define the vm, and I have defined the vm.

I have all current drivers for my cards and software.

Please help.

Try reseating ALL cards and cables. I don't mean just feel if they are tight, I mean pull them all the way out and put them back on. Run MSCONFIG and see what programs are getting launched at startup, disable those you don't really need. Check your RAM timings in BIOS, turn them all the way down.

Nice rig BTW. Are you on TeAm Anandtech? Click the link in my sig for more info.

I am assuming you have tried This. Only other thing I can say is where are the page faults happening? Usually the error message says something like, invalid page fault in XXXXXX or something. I used to work tech support for crapaq, you may have some corrupt files as well. Find out which are corrupt then boot into safe mode and extract the files from your winme CD.

BigPete - I did try the ms site approach. the module is <unknown> at ce41:aae904c4. All programs the error reference the same module and same address. So any ideas on how to find the corrupt files?

BadThad - I have done this also. And like I said I still get the error even when in safe mode and a clean boot. So it isn't a program in the startup that is causing this. My ram timimgs are at the base level.

This system is NOT being overclocked at any level.

Pull your memory. Swap it with other known good memory and see if that works. Memory can crap out more often than one would think. Let us know if this helps...
