So I come by to visit the family, and moms laptop has a problem.
The laptop reboots right after POST, where the WinXP (WinXp Home) loading screen is, I see a blue screen but it reboots immediately so I can't tell what it says.
I couldn't find the original disc so had to download winxp iso and use the recovery. Boot it up from disc, gets to the main menu, press R for recovery, and I get the blue screen that says "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area," going by what google says it sounds pretty bad, as far as the laptop dying, bad ram, or something else.
Anyone have suggestions?
Currently running a memtest, and I'll check back on the laptop in a few hours. It's really weird because I was using it last night and it was working perfectly. Only thing I gathered was that the laptop fell a few months ago about a foot high from the coffee table but it was still running and working perfectly fine.
