C:\windows\system32\config\system file is misssing error 0x0000005

[Guest]

Hello all, I need abit of help here, this is what is happening:
On Monday april 11th, I was working on my home PC and all of a sudden it
rebooted by itself, then once the restart was done it told me that
C:\windows\system32\config\system file is missing or corrupted. Removed all
peripherals and printers and still had the same problem. Placed the setup
disc in and it gave me this error stop 0x00000050 that my page_fault_in_
etc...

This is a brand new copy of windows xp home that was purchased less than a
month ago. My PC is a Compaq Presario S5010NX 2.5 GHZ processor, 640 MB of
Ram with a 80 GIG HDD, Has anyone encoutered this problem and what can I do
to get my PC to run again!!!??? Any advice or tips would be great

See MVP Jim Eshelman's STOP errors web page at
http://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm and click on the "50: Page
Fault..." link in the left side column.

If your XP Home is one that came bundled with the computer then the
whole package should still be under warranty and you should contact
Compaq's tech support regarding the problem.

Good luck
