Hi,

I was working on my laptop when I got this blue error screen. The error message was "KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR". So I restarted the laptop, it took a long time to boot up, and before it could fully bootup, I got another blue screen error. This time the error message was "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", something was wrong in file PartMgr.sys.

I restarted the laptop again, this time it wouldn't go past the initial bootup screen (with the company logo and 'Press Esc to enter Setup, Press F12 to...'). I see the CPU light is on constantly, but it just stays on the same screen. I waited for more than 30mins, it wouldn't bootup.

How can I fix it? I did not install any new hardware or software. When the error occured I had Firefox and Visual Studio open. The laptop is Compaq V2000 series, Pentium M processor, with Windows XP Pro.

Thanks

Those bluescreens have codes with a format of 0x000000. You don't, by chance, remember them, do you?

No, I don't remember the code, I just noted down the error message.

kernal is to do with the memory you need to replace the RAM and possibly reinstall your xp

Don't jump the gun and just start replacing parts. Run a memtest first. A hard disk diagnostic isn't a bad idea either.
