April 11, 200620 yr When i try to play a game for an extended amount of time (beyong 2 minutes) i usually get a blue screen crash. Low quality games such as starcraft are the worse. I either get the errors BAD_POOL_CALLER or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA *** STOP 0x00000050 (0xE3942030,0x00000000,0x8054AE70,0x00000001) PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA casued by win32k.sys *** STOP 0x00000050 (0xE2E75000,0x00000000,0xBF826A,0x00000001) ***CAUSED BY win32k.sys - ADDRESS BF826A8A at BF800000, datestamp 43446a58 Now I have moderate knowlage of a computer and im compelled to learn why my computer is doing this. (I have no clue how to read or make any of this into sense) If you need any Specs or info ill provide it. Thanks for any help ~Nik Long since retired.
April 11, 200620 yr You have a corrupt file, or a missing one. I had that too, and all I did was buy new RAM, and now its fine.
April 11, 200620 yr Author my RAM is kind of old (2-3 years). I dont think its my RAM. Could it be my video card which is equaly old? Long since retired.
April 11, 200620 yr I've gotten both those errors (and more) randomly just doing nothing. I haven't been able to pin-point what it is yet :-? How old is your Windows install?
April 11, 200620 yr the only computer I owned that this occured regualry on was a gaming machine a year or so ago. I upgraded most the internals and had a smooth run after that. In your case other than upgrading, I suggest a fresh format + reinstall of XP.
April 11, 200620 yr That's what I end up doing - stays fine for about a year, then I start getting random BSOD's again :-\ It's like it's programed into Windows to BSOD after x days :x
April 11, 200620 yr Author i have many many many irreplacible files, music files, movies, pictures and much more. A bunch more than the ammount of CDs i have Long since retired.
April 11, 200620 yr partition your hdd, put anything you want to keep on the new partition, format windows drive, reinstall windows, done. Seriously though, I'll see what I can did up for you. Edit: ok, you have a high probability of failing hardware. And since you say it only happens in games. I'll agree with your assumption of the video card. What type and how old is it?
