Spontaneous Blue screens

[Jason]

Lately I'm having this problem that results in an error
with a message IRQL_NOT_LESS_EQUAL or
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA on a blue screen.This problem
seems to occur when I'm playing any game so my guess is
is it my video card?

I checked my event viewer and this is what it told me:

HelpSvc.exe (548) Unable to write a shadowed header for
file
C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Config\CheckPoint\tmp.edb.
Error -1022.

WinMgmt could not initialize the core parts. This could
be due to a badly installed version of WinMgmt, WinMgmt
repository upgrade failure, insufficient disk space or
insufficient memory.

Some help would be greatly appreciated.

My first optiopn would be to perform a RAM memory check, both your
board memory and your video card memory. By far the best RAM test
program I know of is memtest86.

Give it time those screens will migrate to fault_cause_unkown. It happened
to me, and Microsoft tech support hasn't figured it out yet. And that, is
considering they've been on it for the past 8-9 months.

Oh yeah, It will probably crash and become unbootable shortly afterwards. I
had to install Win2K just to salvage my data before doing another "clean"
install of XP Home.
