after some searching around the net, i decided to remove the old memory and
replace with a new one. now i get the following
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

***STOP: 0x00000050 (0xFFFFFFF8, 0x00000001, 0x80838AFB, 0x000000000)

i restarted a few times and get the page_fault error repeatedly now.
suggestions...
