The Stop 0x24 message indicates that a problem occurred within Ntfs.sys, the driver file that allows the system to read and write to NTFS file system drives. A similar Stop message, 0x23, exists for the file allocation table (FAT16 or FAT32) file systems.

0x001902fe refers to some problem with your swap file. Converted to dec. this means about 1.6GB of the HDD were marked as bad blocks.

AS u got the error 0x24 in the first place, there is a couple of things you can do AFTER u took out the RAM card u installed.

Check HDD Cables, and do a check on your harddisk with the feature tool from the harddrive manufacturer. If unsure which tool to use let me know what harddisk it is.
Those errors point to some problems in the IDE section of your PC

my 2nd hard drive is FAT32 but my primary hdd is NTFS but i only have a few things on the secondary drive so if i remove it mite that help as i dont really need it. I've removed the new ram card and everything seems fine now but i really need more ram as my pc is slow what should i do ?

Consider the ram card to be faulty or incompatible. Get it replaced with a new one

ok thanks , someone told me that if u install more RAM that is in your pc allready then u can get problems , is that true and if so it makes it impossible to upgrade your RAM

i should of explained that a bit better , what i was told was if i had 128MB of RAM allready i shouldnt install a new RAMcard more than that amount so to say i should only have 2 RAM cards of 128MB or it could cause problems but i think thats wrong as there is space for 3 RAM cards

WEll what u have been told is partially true
U certainly can mix and match memory bars of different size, for example to an existing 128MB bar u can add a 512MB bar no problem.

The deal is about compatibility, as some ram chips are known not to be compatible with others. Therefore i recommend buying branded RAM like Corsair, Kingstin, Infineo or Crucial for example. Much more compatible as those cheap bars.

ah ok i have a 128MB 266MHz pc2100 ddr dimm cl2.5 kingston , 128MB ddr pc2100 integral (speed not specefied) and the new one i installed is 256MB 266MHz ddr pc2100 cl2.5 sync 16x16 2.5V 4 K 7.5?NS as for the name im not sure as on the box it only has a large m then white box written on it but on the crad its self its has a label Vdata im going to take this one back is there a certain speed and MB you would recomend ?

yes it was the RAM card got a new and everything seems fine

Thanks for the update. Let us know if we can help further
