Boot problem - stuck at "Windows is starting up..."

[Guest 2Tall]

I can get to Safe Mode, but once I choose any almost any selection, the

computer then starts its boot sequence. When I get to the blue screen that

says "Windows is starting up..." it just stops.

 

I have restarted the machine about a dozen times. Twice I received the blue

screen of death. One listed a problem with "beep.sys" - a problem with

PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and later another blue screen of death said my

video driver failed to initialize.

 

How do I get past the "Windows is starting up..."screen?

0x00000050: PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

Requested data was not in memory. An invalid system memory address was

RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus

software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems

(e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).

Have you tried Last Known Good Configuration?

A description of the Safe Mode Boot options in Windows XP

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222/en-us

 

Another option mentioned in KB 315222 worth trying is "Enable VGA mode".

 

Please post the complete Stop Error ( BSOD) Report.

 

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by

allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on

the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,

Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before

Automatically Restart.

 

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have

resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

 

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select

option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

 

If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work

substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only.

Re: Boot problem - stuck at "Windows is starting up..."

 

I tried "Last known good configuration" and it makes it to the "Windows

loading" screen and stops. I've also tried "Disable automatic restart..." and

again it stops booting at the "Windows loading" screen.

 

I already discovered the wireless keyboard didn't work and have switched to

a wired keyboard. Also, in system setup under error logging it says Keyboard

failure twice.

 

I came across another reference to cleaning the interior of the computer. I

popped the cover off and found the Sahara in my computer. I'm going to blow

it clean, reseat some of the cards and try again.

Re: Boot problem - stuck at "Windows is starting up..."

 

Do you have a Desktop or Laptop computer? It could be overheating so you

should check that all fans are working and use an Air Duster to remove

any dust inside the casing.
