windows wont load

[pushVTEC]

I get to where it's about to load the welcome screen and the computer restarts itself. Try to load in safe made, same thing. Then I realize I had this problem before and it was because the video drivers became corrupt, when I re-installed the drivers it was ok. So I try starting in safe vga mode and same thing. What should I do?

 

[pushVTEC]

Anyone know I can reload the video drivers or just unload the current ones from the recovery console? I have a feeling the corrupt video drivers are the culprit AGAIN

Looked at the bootlog, first driver not to load was the ACPI driver then the list goes on and on about what it didn't load, any suggestions?

do you have your OS disk

 

[pushVTEC]

Yeah, I'm running a 'repair' on it now, and after the first attempt I got a 'page fault in non paged area' right before it completed

"repair" attempt 2, same 'page fault' error. Going to yank out one of my memory sticks and see if maybe one of those is bad.

 

[SomeDude22]

do you have intergrated video

 

[pushVTEC]

No, no integrated video.

 

[SomeDude22]

do you have any other video cards

 

[pushVTEC]

Nope

Repair attempt 3, 'page fault' error again, trying with second stick of memory.

Is it possible that my cd-rom is taking a dump on me and causing these page fault errors?

 

[pushVTEC]

repair attempt #4, same page fault error. Think I successfully ruled out ram as a culprit, since I doubt 2 sticks of crucial memory took a dump at the same time, and before I restarted my computer it was running fine.

 

[SomeDude22]

ram can go bad any time try using one stick at a time see what happens

 

[pushVTEC]

That's what I did, tried both sticks, then one at a time, same thing each time.

So is it possible my cd-rom is causing the page fault errors?
