Alrighty. My computer (Toshiba Satilite, VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32bit...) has crashed recently... It crashed then I restarted it. And it said. "BLAH BLAH BLAH Winload.exe is missing or corrupt". I tried reseting to factory defaults but it didn't work. Soon after that, I changed my BIOS settings and put the cd drive at the top and inserted my Windows Vista Home Premium Installation Disk. After that I got, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. It waas a blue screen thing. I tried many commands in the repair promt bootrec.exe /fixmbr bootrec.exe /fixboot, but they didn't help any. I've been looking around and I have found things like it may be a bad stick of ram or my hard drive. I'm not sure which one. Any help? (SORRY FOR DUBBLE POST IN DIFF TOPIC THINGY) -- Noah2315 |

Download and run memtest to test your memory modules.

Memtest is included with Vista Home Premium (or at least it is on mine),
although it may not be the same. Open Admin Tools and run the Memory Diagnostics Tool. It reboots your PC and runs the diagnostics then. Works pretty well- it found an error on a new stick of RAM I had bought recently. SC Tom "David B." wrote in message ...

That is not memtest, that is Microsoft's memory diagnostic, not the same
thing. -- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "SC Tom" wrote in message ...

Didn't think it was quite the same, but it does work. Surprised that MS can
call it memtest.exe though. "David B." wrote in message ...
