hi thanku ina advance i have gateway gm5478 2gb/quadcore/500gbhd/nvidia8500gt graphic card its crashed when i try to reboot it it gave me blue screen saying software or hardware change or not working try restart it thats the message i tr reinstalling the windows operating sys it loaded the windows files it gave me the vista start up screen location keyboard cersion(us/other region) and its saying load and then blue screen again what happened to my computer please any help will be appreciated
here is the accurate info a problem has been detected and shutdown to prevent futher damage to the computer disk.sys page fault in nonpaged area check new hardware or software installed
page fault in nonpaged area almost always implies faulty RAM. Take one of the RAM sticks out and see if it solves the problem, if not put it back and take out the other one. If that solves the problem, get some new RAM, if it doesn't, get back to us.
higuys i tok the 1st ram out and it shows decrease th ram and i took the second one out still the same problem
thanku guys now i tried with both one it says a read disk error cltr/alt/del to restart and it keep coming back when iam trying to runthe operating sys
Hmm, that suggests it can't find the hard drive. Have you changed anything regarding the hard disk, moved any cables etc? If not, the hard drive may be your problem not the RAM... Do you have another PC you can put that hard disk in to test it?
when i went into bios its showing sata thats it as far as i know its sata hd it had much smaller cable than ide regarding other computer i have the p4 512md with ide hd i don't think sata hd is comptable i could be wrong please help thanks for the inputs and effort to take time
Look in that other PC just in case it has S-ATA ports on it. An old Athlon XP PC I owned had 2 SATA ports on the board and I didn't even realise. I say this because you can't do it the other way round (i.e. you can't put the old hard drive in this PC and run it to test)
ok i have aproblem in my gateway gm5478 i didn't see ide cable except for optical drive when i wnet to bois it shows sata but in black letters other s in blue i went to gateway website they shows bios update new firmware(reason: unexpected reboots)which i faced now my compuetr crashed how do i update my bios i download the firmware to a cd and i try ran it but no use please help thanks in advance guys

A BIOS won't simply stop working by itself, I highly doubt updating your BIOS will solve your reboot issues.
thank u guys its hd and i installed the new hd and it works good (so far) thankyou for everyone to contribute to help me
