Error page on startup page_fault_in_nonpaged _area
This sounds like a HDD problem, your best is to download a live operating system such as knoppix and boot to it, once in check that you can see the HDD it will be shown as "sda1" gather all data and information you want to keep and reinstall your OS
if you are using windows and you havnt made a recovery disk, then you can either contact the manufacturer to send one out or buy the windows install disk
If the problem is caused by a bad memory stick, then the only solution is replacing it. You can check this by removing memory sticks sequentially to see if the error pops up. If you are not comfortable doing this then download a memory testing program like memtest to check the memory
I have often found that the page file written to a bad sector causes this issue especially in older versions of Windows.
- turn of the page file (Right click My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Performance > Setting > Advanced > Virtual Memory) by setting it to 0 Mb.
- start up in Safe Mode (F8 > Safe Mode) and run a scan disk (Command Prompt > scandsk /r) to repair bad sectors.
- reboot in normal mode and turn the virtual memory back on so that is creates a new file.
If you do not disable the virtual memory, the bad data causing the error is remembered.

Good chances are, you have a bad memory stick. If you have 2 memory sticks installed, take one out. If it still does it, put that memory stick back in and pull out the other one. If you're still having problems, you might have to reinstall windows.
