BSOD page fault in none paged area

[timjcur]

Hello
hope someone can be of help

I have an acer aspire 5315 laptop which will not boot into vista basic. while loading windows it freezes with the message

*** stop "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area" 0x00000050
(0x892f000, 0x00000000, 0x810360a3, 0x00000000)

If I try safe mode or last known good configuration it always freezes at the same point. I tried the recovery option, but it still freezes. As a last resort I tried to boot from the Vista dvd but it still gives me the bsod.

thanks

be sure to remove any expansion cards and usb devices and try booting again

At this point you might suspect some sort of hardware failure. First and foremost, like Rip said, remove extraneous hardware cards and all but a single stick of RAM and try booting off the DVD - if it still goes goofunky, then download Memtest86 iso and burn it to a CD (obviously on a different computer since this one will not boot) and test your RAM...if it *still* hangs then you may have a failing motherboard or else a CPU Heatsink issue.
