No problem... a conversation can be hard to follow when it's purely text based.

no mine is this error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
STOP: 0x8E
win32.sys

This doesn't make sense. The system uses the stop code to look up the description.

If the stop code is 0x8E then the error is KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. The stop code which causes the message PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA is 0x50.

If your system is displaying the wrong descriptions for the stop codes then something is seriously screwed, I would suggest a reinstall is necessary.

All I can suggest is what worked for me...

Uninstall video drivers and video adapter in device manager.
Open case, reseat the video card, reboot and let Windows re-detect the video card, then install the latest drivers.

Final update: (knocks on wood)
3 days now, and this PC has been running flawlessly.

I was all set to go out and buy a new mobo. Now I don't have to.
With the money I saved thanks to you guys, I can get myself a second hand monitor to replace my blurry old 15 inch CRT.

:beerchug:

Now... what to do about that wierd task manager problem??
