Over the last few days I have been getting random BSODs on my PC.

IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA

Error caused by nvdisp.dll or something else related to nvidia.

I got these problems on my older PC, and couldn't fix them. My PC needed replacing and I did. Only to find out later it was the RAM causing the fault. Everytime I've experienced the problem since at work on different PCs, it has been RAM. I've run Memtest and it hasn't found any problems. I've run PRIME95 and it hasn't found any problems. I'm gonna update my Display Drivers and see how that goes.

The trouble is my PC has been acting weird as of late. It seems that it keeps using far too much CPU. Everytime I start up any programs it uses over 70-80%, sometimes 100%. I had NOD32 and ZoneAlarm Firewall running so I switched to Kaspersky. I turned off any on access scanning. I have very few or no items running in the background. I thought it was Firefox 2.0.0.8 causing high usage, but it doesn't seem to be that. I find I can do very little multitasking now without getting high CPU usage. I've reformatted since, but this hasn't solved any issues.

After my latest BSOD, I got this message from Windows:

Code:
BCCode : 1000008e     BCP1 : C0000005     BCP2 : BFAA9DB5     BCP3 : B63C3A5C
BCP4 : 00000000     OSVer : 5_1_2600     SP : 2_0     Product : 256_1
Dunno what that means but maybe someone can decipher it. Help! Please!
 
General Usage. I'm running Everest in the background, right now CPU temp is 38C at the time of the BSOD it was about 42.

Forgot to post my specs:

Intel Pentium 4 3.2Ghz 640 800Mhz FSB LGA775
Gigabyte GA-8IPE775-G Motherboard
Crucial 1Gb RAM (2 x 512Mb)
GeForce 6200A 512Mb AGP

Pioneer DVR-108 DVD±R/RW DL 16x
Western Digital 160Gb 2Mb Cache, Maxtor 250GB 7200rpm ATA/133 16MB Cache
Antec Sonata II

Right, so my current Graphics Card version was 94.24 and I upgraded to the latest version 163 or something and after the reboot, I just couldn't boot into Windows. It just kept BSOD-ing before getting to the login page. (PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA) and Error in nv4_disp.dll

I've gone back to last known good config.

So, is it definately a Graphics Card problem?
 
I've already done that as I explained in my first post. Didn't give any errors. Is there anyway that I can test the RAM on the Graphics Card?
 
Can someone please recommend me a sub £50 decent AGP Graphics Card? I can't afford to make the move to a PCI-E motherboard, because that means CPU, RAM, Mobo and GPU :(
 
wait until monday, this is the same problem i am having and my pc has gone for diagnostics this weekend. windows boots then freezes before logon screen while still showing the loading bar then bsod's me with the same error. windows detects it as a driver error apparently from what i have researched.

for me i think it is a error of one of my devices with the new nvidia driver :)

but wil tell you exactly what is wrong when i find out tomorrow.
 
hi

it is the new nvidia drivers overwriting the previous ones via windows update, taken them off, uninstalled the windows standard drivers and reinstalled latest drivers and then ran diagnostics again and all is sorted.

all down to a dodgy nvidia .dll

do system repair in safe mode and let windows upadate the drivers once rolled back :)
