A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA If this is the first time you’ve seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need . If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced start up options, and then select safe mode. Techinal information: ***STOP: 0x00000050 (0xA5270023, 0x00000000, 0xA5270023, 0x00000000) Collecting data for crash dump… Gateway is telling me it probably is a problem with Vista and there is a Hotfix from vista to correct this problem. The e-mail I received with the Hotfix is as follows: WARNING This hotfix has not undergone full testing. Therefore, it is intended only for systems or computers that are experiencing the exact problem that is described in the one or more Microsoft Knowledge Base articles that are listed in "KB Article Numbers" field in the table at the end of this e-mail message. If you are not sure whether any special compatibility or installation issues are associated with this hotfix, we encourage you to wait for the next service pack release. The service pack will include a fully tested version of this fix. We understand that it can be difficult to determine whether any compatibility or installation issues are associated with a hotfix. If you want confirmation that this hotfix addresses your specific problem, or if you want to confirm whether any special compatibility or installation issues are associated with this hotfix, support professionals in Customer Support Services can help you with that.

If there are fewer than seven days left in the password change cycle when you receive this e-mail message, you receive two passwords.

Make sure that you include the exact text (without spaces) between the parentheses in the http:// address.

Steps that have already been tried - Unistalled and Reinstalled NVIDIA drivers, Full system factory restall (x2). The last restore may have helped, but I am not sure. Any other steps that I can take if problem still persists? (I did not do the Hotfix yet) This post has been edited by usasma: Aug 12 2008, 03:54 PM
Reason for edit: Cut the passwords out - if you need them, PM me.

There's no need to do the hotfix unless you're currently experiencing the problem.
I'd suggest foregoing it and seeing what happens. There's many reasons for the STOP 0x50 error, not just the one that the hotfix addresses (although I'd tend to trust Gateway on this as they know their systems best). You can check your updates later on to see if it's installed, just look for the KB939720 update. Here's a link to the article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/939720 -------------------- - John

Gateway has been pretty lost on this one. They did a search on the microsoft website to find the hotfix and were concerned about loading it. They told me we could always do a restore if it caused other issues. I was planning on waiting to see if the issue is still present since the last factory restore prior to attempting any other fix and was just wondering if this has been an issue with Vista? and if anyone has found a fix?
