    Hello,

    Every once in a while a get an error when starting up saying:

    Page fault in non paged area

    It comes up on a blue screen just after entering windows and I have to restart the computer. I am unsure of what caused this but here is what I am thinking:

    I used Gparted Live to move 4 GB of space on to my main partition. To do this I had to move that space onto the media direct partition and then onto my main partition.

    The only other thing I can think might be causing it is bootskin (a program to change the bootscreen).

    This does not happen everytime I startup and in total it has happened around 6-8 times.

    Start by removing bootskin and seeing what happens and if that is the problem.

    Did your laptop do this before you monkeyed with things? If so, you might want to check your memory, as bad memory sometimes causes this error.

    I am really unsure if it did this before or after. I just ordered 2 GB of RAM so hopefully that solves the problem. I haven't had it happen in a while. But just in case I backed everything up.
