Ok,im fixing one of my clients computers,and he was complaining of it A. Going Slow and B.BSOD'sing.So i Turned off Auto Restart on error,and then i went about cleaning the system up until i got the BSOD he was complainging about.Now the error is PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.I Tested the Ram twice in memtest86 but there were no errors,what else could it be.Here are the specs:

Intel Pentium 4 3.06 Ghz
512mb DDRII Ram
ATI Radeon 9600XT
Windows XP MCE
SATA Seagate Barracuda 160gb
 
Yeah,The Hardrive Passed,I Tried a Graphics card Stress test,It passed,and i just updated the Graphics card drivers,Still BSOD'ing.

But i noticed it only happens when the hardrive is under intense use (Installing something).

Im Thinking it could be the SATA Drivers??
 
RAID?

MCE (XP) shouldn't need a driver for SATA

Anything showing in the Events Logs? Device Manager?
 
Usually I see that error with a currupt file system. running chkdsk /r usually can straiten that out.
