HELP ????

[Edward Hepher]

I am having problems with certain games.

I will start up ,for example, Vietcong. I will start a
quick fight and start fighting. After about 2 minuites
the game will grash to a blue screen which is a memory
dump.

the main Problem is "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA"

Please help, this problem is in many games and is driving
me crazy.

That problem generally indicates you've got a problem with the RAM, Edward.
Without knowing anything about your system, like how much memory you have
and if it is one stick or two, it is difficult to assess what you should do
next. Check some online sources for free memory checkers, and if you have
two sticks (perhaps 256 MB each), pull one at a time and then attempt to run
the game to see if the same error is generated.

It could also be the RAM sticks aren't seated properly, so you should shut
the machine down, open it up and check for looseness first.
