try getting into SAFE mode by pressing F8 right after the first bios text
, then try a system restore to a point before this started happening.

hi there, already go into safe mode, cant find out any problem with
it....wont let me change to a different restore point. tried the about 10
times. can only use safe mode....

 

[Kenny S]

try this in safe mode:
right click on My COmputer and select ADVANCED tab,
then go to where it says START UP AND RECOVERY and press the
settings button, and uncheck the AUTOMATICALLY restart.

Try restarting and see if you get a blue screen with information on what is
crashing your system.

thats a great start.... its a problem with the NTFS.sys file it also says
page fault in a non paged area? whats this? is it to do with the ntfs file?
can i replace this file? how!!!! thanks heaps

 

[Kenny S]

try this:

GO into safe mode and turn off your page file temporarily and restart.
see if you can get into windows, then go and re-enable the page file.
If you dont know how follow these instrunctions:

right click on My COmputer and select ADVANCED tab,
then go to where it says performance and press the
settings button, then go to the ADVANCED tab and press the CHANGE button
on Virtual Memory >>> and select NO PAGING FILE
press ok and restart.

Tell me if this fixes your issue
