Hello,
I'm fixing a compaq 310v for a friend. A virus screwed this machine 100 ways sideways. So I figured I could just reformat the drive, install windows, and install drivers from the HP website.
Good thing I backed up what I could because now, anytime I plug in an external drive like a flash drive or a mass storage drive, the system reboots giving this error from BSOD
page_fault_in_nonpaged_area
stop: 0x00000050
the mobo inside says it is a microstar MS 6541... I have downloaded the appropriate drivers from HP's website for both xp pro and home yet to no avail. I'd really like to avoid buying the $30 recovery disk.
I've read in other threads that the system could be rebooting due to a bad power supply... is that possible? because before the reformat, the usb slots were working fine. I've tried the front and rear ports and no matter which one i choose, the system reboots.
anyone experience this please help
