quick BSOD on boot, can't read it (win xp pro x64 sp2)

[dfn]

Here's my story...

I was running Windows XP Pro x64 with SP2. Made a new partition, installed Windows 7 on new partition. On boot, I could pick Windows 7, or older Windows OS (XP Pro x64 SP2, basically Server 2003 SP2).

Worked like this for a few days, rebooted plenty of times, no problems in either OS.
Then, in XP, I installed TotalMedia Theatre 3. It prompts me to reboot. I say I'll do it later, and surf the web some. Then I reboot. I get to pick the OS, and I pick the older Windows OS (XP). It starts to boot up, I see the XP x64 logo, then I see a very quick flash of a BSOD (too quick to read, is on screen LESS than a tenth of a second), and my system restarts.

On restart, I pick XP, go into Safe Mode. This works fine. I reboot, pick the XP OS again, and decide to not go into Safe Mode to see if it would boot fine after uninstalling TMT3. Again, the same thing happens: a quick BSOD that's there for about 0.05 seconds, and auto-restart. Every time it restarts, if I'm going into the "normal" version of XP, I get the BSOD, and it automatically restarts. If I'm going into Safe Mode, it boots into XP fine.

I put my XP cd in, and get to recovery console. Fantastic, except I don't know what to do next!

Any help or advice would be appreciated. My goal is to get back into XP (non-Safe Mode), and be able to use it normally like I did before.

I would turn off automatic restart so that you can read the BSOD without it restarting real fast. Try that and let us know what the blue screen reads.

Go into properties of my computer and then advanced tab and turn off automatic restart.

Please upload the minidump files (these files appear after system crash)
You will find them in this location:
%systemroot%\minidump

(Run this command in the "Run" command line)
I'll try to analyze the files to see what is the source of the problem.

Thanks.

Here is the BSOD :

A problem has been detected and Windows has shutdown to prevent damage to your computer.

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

If this is the first time... (paragraph telling me to restart)
Otherwise, follow steps below:

<Paragraph about checking new hardware/software is properly installed, or Windows updates>

<Paragraph about disabling new hardware/software and disabling memory caching/shadowing in BIOS>

Technical Information:

***STOP 0x00000050 (0xFFFFF80071B1D765, 0X0000000000000000, 0XFFFFFADF4186E121, 0X0000000000000005)



There is nothing in the minidump folder unfortunately.
In the settings page (properties of my computer, advanced, settings...) where I turned off automatic restart, pretty much everything else was checked, and I think the size of the minidump file was supposed to be 128KB.

Same thing

Heh, yeah, but there's nothing in the minidump folder.

I've tried looking at log viewer and that didn't show me anything, only showed things after booting into safe mode. No errors that I saw from the failed boot up attempts.

Try to revert back the registry to a earlier date. Burn a UBCD and run he Registry Restore Wizard to restore the registry back.

Where is the Registry Restore Wizard?
I obviously missed it, but I think I've gone through all the menus (on UBCD).

EDIT: I was using UBCD. Now I switched to UBCD4Win, and found it. However, it can restore my registry from 2/14/2009, which is over a year ago. No other options. If I do this, won't it screw up a lot of the things I have now? Is there any other way (besides format/reinstall XP) of solving my issue?

 

[gravator]

Might try Hiren boot disk I know its on there, but the UBCD should have it under the registry folder.

Yeah, I edited my previous post I found it. I'm just looking for a different potential solution, because the only restore option I have is from a year ago. If I can't find anything, then I'll go with that and see what happens.
