What happens when starting Windows in its safe mode? Clear the event
viewer logs (right-click on each category and Clear), reboot, and hit F8
to get the boot menu to select safe mode for Windows. Then monitor for
the high page fault problem for whatever seems long enough (the old log
should indicate about when the problem reoccurs).

Have you used a bootable disc to run memtest86?
