    I guess that article does not apply then....


    As I searched around, it became more evident that this is likely a RAM issue. Many resolved it by removing a stick of RAM where they had 2.
    You may want to run a memory tester just to check.
    MS offers one here: http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
    Another is here: http://www.simmtester.com/page/products/doc/docinfo.asp

    Does this happen evertime you run chkdsk?

    If you're setting your own virtual memory change it back to default. Good chance your System Restore is corrupt. If it is, disable it, reboot, and then re-enable it.

    I would say you might have RAM problems. Try the other memory tester I posted above.

    Did this problem just start occuring, or does it just happen when you run chkdsk?

    i downloaded and ran windiag. i have a partial result of the test because the test it seems would not complete:

     

    windows memory diagnostic

    pass               test                cache                 

    1                LRAND                ON                       Failed

    1                Stride6                 ON                       Failed

    1                WMATS+             ON                       Failed

    1                WINVC                 ON                       Failed

     
    Please check your PCI IRQ setup, and make sure the PCI slot support Bus Master operation extended tests
     
    Fast Trak does not detect proper interrupts
     
     
    what do you make of it? botzaris

    jmf,

    it has happened the last two times i've run scandisc. i do it every week.

    which one did you mean? 1) i've checked out its pdf and docmemory diagnostic seems not to be able to function with my win xp home 2) docmemory spd reader?

    DocMemory Diagnostic is the one you want. It makes it's own bootable floppy, so the operating system doesn't matter.
