Hey there... I am hoping I can get a little help on this.
I recently installed Windows XP Home on a AMD IWill KK266 mobo setup. I am running a AMD 1700 XP and an nVidia card. For some strange reason, Windows XP occassionally shutsdown and then restarts again while in the bootup process (near the end). This occurs every four or five bootups for no apparent reason. The only thing I can correlate it to is it happening right after I run an application and then reboot (but who knows).
When I finally do get back to the desktop, I get a MS message saying that "Windows recovered from a Serious Error." It almost looks like a message you would get when you OC too far and Windows crashes --but I am not OCing. I also got this blue screen saying:
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NOPAGED_AREA. Beginning dump of physical memory."
It says a bit more than that but that is the jist of the message.
I have messed with BIOS every way under the sun and updated my drivers as much as I can. This is also a fresh install of Windows. Please help!

UPDATE:
I found this was a weird problem that Western Digital drives occassionally cause. I down loaded a Western Digital Utility that wrote zeros to the drive and that fixed it. A deep format so to speak.
