My room mate has a Dell Inspiron 6000. To be honest, he looks at waaaay too much porn and I think that is what messed his computer up again. I was able to fix it before but it is messing up again. Whenever he turns it on, it will load up almost completely but toward the end of the load a blue screen comes up. It isn't a BSOD, though. It says "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". and then it recommends to update drivers and everything. Well I updated his drivers and all that from safe mode but it still comes up when I tried turning it on regularly. Any ideas? Thanks!

Look at msconfig and see what is trying to load at startup. Disable all the crap you don't need.You might try increasing the pagefile size. Do WarezÂ’s guide.

Get this man some security software, too. I assume you'll be sticking to the free stuff. AVG/Spybot/Adaware are a good team for the freebies. If you can spare $20 I highly recommend Spysweeper if he doesn't mind a longer start up time (ie a longer wait to get to the porn).
