Windows 2000 hardware error descrpition

[GFORCE100]

Does anyone know what could cause a PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA error to occur? I seem to be getting it quite often.

Sounds like a memory problem to me...

Yes that's right though the memory isn't faulty. There has to be a reason why it happens.

Way too many causes to speculate.

Stop 0x00000050 or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
This Stop message, also known as Stop 0x50, occurs when requested data is not found in memory. The system generates a fault, which normally indicates that the system looks for data in the paging file. In this circumstance, however, the missing data is identified as being located within an area of memory that cannot be read to disk. The system faults, but cannot find, the data and is unable to recover. Faulty hardware, a buggy system service, antivirus software, and a corrupted NTFS volume can all generate this type of error.

Gee, lots of causes there. I bet it's either all 4 DIMM slots full with RAM causing it or the pagefile on the disk which I will delete so it can be created anew.

Before all systems were go even when the system was overclocked.
