    Default Page Fault in a Non Page Area....Umm.. :(

    So yeah this is the message I get when I boot up my computer. Right now I am booted up in SAFE mode.

    What does this error mean? From the info I have gathered it is most likely a memory issue, but I am not sure if it is the actually memory RAM itself. or if it just the computer's software f-ing up and not being able to read it.

    Don't want to start spending any money on this problem until I have a better understanding of what to do.

    I have a Dell Dimension 9100 series. 1GB RAM. I assume it is one stick and not 2 sticks of 512 inside the shell.

    HELP!

    The F8 or system restore would be my suggestion

    Haha what a coincidence I was just on that page. Hmmm...maybe I do have 2 sticks of 512mb because if I only had 1 stick of a gig and it was faulty then how would I even be able to have booted up in SAFE mode and be online right now? Hmm...

    Run a chkdsk and check attempt to recover bad sectors. It will force you to re-boot and may take a little time.

    The fault might be not showing up because the program (in memory) is not booting in safe mode.

    I'd second frosty's advice and run a CHKDSK /r on the system. the /r switch will search for bad sectors and can take longer than an hour finish, dependent on the size of your hard disk drive.
