Blue Screens (mostly whyen it tries to page a non-paged area)

[Fuzzy]

software is: Windows XP Pro SP2 (Dell branded) that I bought on eBay.
I've read that it may be that the Dell branded OEM is is the problem,
that Dell makes the OS hardware specific. It was a full install version,
reformated the target partition and reinstalled.

hardware: P4S800D-X mainboard, Celeron D 2.93gHz, 2 gb ram,
4 hard drives (drive 0 is 2 partitions 40gb/80gb), rest are single partition.
1 DVD-RW, 256mb video card. Partition 0 on drive 0 is the windows install
and boot partition.

I get repeated BSoD errors and wonder if the fact my install is
a Dell branded OEM and the actual hardware is generic may be a problem.
I can't think of why system files randomly vanish (BSoD missing NTLDR) or
become corrupt (BSoD various corrupt DLLs). I've had to use the recovery
console
to replace missing or corrupt system files repeatedly.

Do I have a hardware issue, or would reinstalling from a full retail
WinXP CD fix the problems? If it might be hardware, are there any
diagnostics to run to localize whats failing? Could I have some kind malware
doing this?
I'm running the Roadrunner provided version of CA AV, along with
a couple of adware/malware checkers and registry monitors,
(PrevxCSI, Regcure, XoftspySE, Ad-Aware free version).

Please post a copy of the Stop Error Report.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only.

Using a Registry Cleaner could well have caused the problem.

nods, I got tired of auto-restart when the errors came so fast...
I turned it off befiore, so I had time to note the error messages.


Most current one is:

Stop 0x0000000E (0xc0000005, 0xB84B23E9, 0xB6A7894, 0xB5A786D0)

VETEFILE.SYS Address B84B23E9 Datestamp 468DE154

Google told me that vetefile.sys is part of CA's antivirus program.


If a cleaner caused the problem, can it be fixed?
If so, what does one need to do?

thanks

The above is not helpful -found this Windows 2000 equivalent

I think you have to uninstall your anti-virus

Reinstalling may resolve the problem.
