    Page_fault_in_nonpaged_area

    Hi
    I've recently upgraded my computer and i've run into a problem.

    Firstly, the specs:

    Maxtor 500GB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache (old part)
    Samsung SH-S202J 20X DVD±RW /DL/RAM IDE Int Black Bare Drive (old part)
    XpertVision GeForce 8800 GT 512MB DDR3, PCI-E Graphics Card (old part)
    AMD Athlon II X4 640 Socket AM3 3GHz 2MB L2 Cache (new)
    Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3 AMD 770 Socket AM3 8 Channel Audio ATX (new)
    EXTRA VALUE 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz Memory Kit 1.5V CL9 (new)

    (sorry if i've missed anything)

    But basically, I ordered these parts and wanted to reformat my hard drive so i could start a fresh. So i turn my computer on, forget to boot from cd drive so it starts up normally. It gets to the windows xp page with the loading bar and then i see a bluescreen flash up and the pc restarts instantly. The bluescreen was only there for half a second so i couldn't see the error.

    I then try reinstalling windows and i get as far as i can through the disk and it begins to load up again and then it just crashes.
    I then put my old parts in and complete the installation and everything works fine. So i try putting in the new parts and once again. Blue screens. However, i did manage to take a picture on my phone of the blue screen (after many, MANY attempts) and saw that it read

    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Put back the old parts, verify it works.
    Add the new parts one at a time until you figure out which one is causing the problem, then replace it.
