My son-in-laws XP machine will no longer boot. It get part-way through the boot progress and then gets a BSOD with the error: PAGE FAULT IN A NON_PAGED AREA and the code STOP: 0X00000050 (0X80087000, 0X00000000, 0X862629DC, 0X00000000). I have run a memory test with no problems found. I have removed the memory chips individually and also swapped positions with no luck. I've run chkdsk /r. I have even tried manually recovering the registry with no luck. I ran an XP repair from the original CD - no luck. I installed Ubuntu in a separate partition and it boots and runs just fine.

I'm about out of ideas! Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Jim

can you boot in safe mode? other than that save all the data and zero the HDD and reinstall the OS
