The laptop is an acer aspire 1642wlmi. It has had windows xp home reinstalled and the hard drive is brand new to try and fix the problem but with no change.

After windows starts and the desktop appears on the screen it crashes to a blue screen saying that it has dumped the physical memory and their is a problem with hardware.

When looking at the device manager the texas instruments pcima (pci1510) card bus is sometimes present in the list with an exclamation mark next to it or sometimes not there at all. Also the same goes for the intel wireless adapter 2200bg. There is no internet connection through the network card either?

Any ideas please.

When the BSOD happens you will see a code number. You can put this into google and it might give you some starting points.

Have you tried installing the drivers for the devices? Usually the yellow exclamation mark indicates that it has found hardware but no driver.

 

Great info there zeb.

 

You might want to install the appropriate software driver for your texas instrument pcmia card or disable this.

 

From the above link..

Last Known Good Configuration

This is not accurate.. this is only worth trying if you are unable to log into windows at all. Because, once you have logged into Windows, the last know good information in the registry is overwitten.

 

The BSOD states (PAGE_FAULT_IN _NON_PAGED_AREA)

The technical info states:

STOP: 0x00000050 (0xBA27AA00, 0x00000000,0x805F988c, 0x00000000)

w29n51.sys - Address BA27AA00 base at BA27AA00, Datestamp 00000000

Hope this helps.

I have been using the pc stats guide you posted was really helpful thanks alot it seems to be fixed. I used the msconfig program and disabled a few things. will see how it runs for the next day or two fingers crossed!
