Windows XP keeps rebooting in normal mode.

When booting in normal mode , it reboots with various fault indications.
You can chose whether to boot in safe or in normal mode.
Even in safe mode it's not always posssible to start up, and when
possible it go's down again executing an Ad-Aware scan.
Error messages
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR EQUAL
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
MULTIPLE_IRP_COMPLETE_REQUESTS

NDIS.SYS
MUP.SYS
NV_AGP.SYS
PCI.SYS

I did a HijachTHis, but can't print it.
What about those entries.
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [MSConfig]
C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe /auto
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [KernelFaultCheck] %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k
O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\WINDOWS\System32\wmhotfix.dll
Even when booting in selective startup (Services and Startup disabled)
in safe mode I have problems.
dumprep 0 -k keeps coming back. The last time I wasn't able to see the
hardware?

Is it possible that RAM Problems or Damaged Virtual Memory Manager,
cause all those different errors. For example ,

"Stop 0x00000044 Multiple_IRP_Complete_Requests"

I'm on Home edition and there's no Novell client.

Resetting virtual memory?

Yes, anything is possible.

You just listed a whole bunch of errors out of context and did not even
mention if you had Home Or Pro. I just posted some things related to what
you posted.

Read though some of the articles and see if they apply or not.

SYMPTOMS

When your computer restarts after you install Windows XP Home Edition,
you may receive either of the following error messages:
System has recovered from a serious error
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL


CAUSE

This behavior may occur if either of the following conditions exist:
• One or more of the random access memory (RAM) modules that are
installed in your computer are faulty, or the memory modules are not
compatible with the chip set on your computer mainboard.
• The Page file that is used by the Virtual Memory Manager may be damaged.


RESOLUTION

1. Make sure that the memory modules in your computer are compatible
with the chip set on your computer mainboard. For information about how
to do so, view the documentation that is included with your computer, or
contact you computer manufacturer. For information about how to contact
your computer manufacturer, click the appropriate article number in the

The procedure has to be followed, otherwise the pagefile.sys will be in use
by the system and then it cannot be deleted.

Dear Mr Vogel

The procedure didn't help. Even stranger things happened.
Being desperate, this afternoon (Belgium) I decided to reinstall
Windows XP. After loading the CD in the drive, I receive the
blue setup screen. Everthing is loading and then a blinking cursor on
black screen, end of story? Now i'im completely out, I can't even
reinstall the computer?
Regards
