Replaced modem that you don't use ? Why the fuck was it even there in the first place . Even the so called experts gave up and formatted , thats priceless ! Shitty thing is you 'll never know what the real reason was , bet it was the crappy PSU it came with .
Oh well just start backing up your important files , and live and learn .

Experts don't format, noobs do. Its about the only thing they did 2 times i let them. Second time i even gave them a message with: don't format, and they did it anyway.
.
Everest does not count the bottom 1MB of ram, because that's where the bios is stored. W2K and XP don't use it after boot up. I wonder how many people knew that.
So 512MB of memory becomes 511MB, and if the graphics controller is using 8MB that leaves 503MB for the system. To me, that doesn't indicate a memory problem.
I'm pretty sure your system should not be running ntkrpamp.exe. Ntkrpamp.exe is the multi-processor version of ntkrnlpa.exe, which is loaded because you've got HT enabled, and ntkrnlpa.exe is the PAE (Physical Address Extension) version of ntoskrnl.exe.
PAE is really only for systems with very large amounts of memory, and can cause problems in drivers which can't handle 64-bit addresses.
You should modify c:\boot.ini (in notepad) and remove " /PAE" from the boot string. Make a copy of boot.ini onto a floppy disk first, just in case you screw it up.
Edit: Damn, just noticed that it's gone back for repair - I'm not surprised they didn't find the problem.

Hi kazaaboy,
was it the xp-pro disk that was bad?
bsod fixed?
we always like a mystery, but I am curious
how was your problem resolved?
it is the small things that usually drive us mad

What do experts do then?
Would love to know why the modem was replaced, I'm guessing it was causing the problem so they replaced it and formatted to put an undamaged copy of XP on it, don't know why they didn't explain it though.
