    Double beep on start up then bsod
    « on: October 29, 2009, 08:57:23 AM »
    I have an acer aspire 1640 running xp home. Recently when I switch it on i get a loud double beep, and an option to press f1, load as normal, or f2, for options. when try f1 i get a blue screen error. when ive done f2, then f8 it sometimes and sometimes doesn't let me run safe mode or debugging mode. On one of the times it let me I ran a full slow scan and it found no threats. I run AVG. The times it doesnt let me load up safe or debugging mode I also get a blue screen error.
    The error is
    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

    then below
    stop  0x00000050  (0xF7FCEA00, 0x00000000, 0x805F9BC8, 0x00000000)
    w29n51.sys  --  Address F7FCEA00 base at F7FCEA00, Datestamp 00000000

    Please let me know what i need to do to rectify
    Any help would be most appreciated
    Regards
    James

      Hi James

      Most of the Times the Bips are " Error Messages" from PC .
      On Manual there are no info.
      Most of Times the bips are direct "connect" to Mother Board Issues .

      Hope that Helps

      Download and run a memory diagnostic utility. Could very well be faulty ram. As for the beep codes, go to the website of your bios manufacturer and check them out.

          0.  Check the memory first.

          1.  Memory Diagnostic.  To create and boot a "free" memory diagnostic from CD, follow the "excellent" instructions laid out by Broni in "Reply #1" of this thread (after the disk diagnostic paragraph.)

          2.  w29n51.sys file.  This is Intel's wireless driver.  Next time you're able to enter "Safe Mode", use Device Manager to "disable" the built-in wireless network adapter (so its driver doesn't load).  Hmmm...  why would it's driver be loading in Safe Mode.  Are you booting to "Safe Mode with Networking"?

          With the built-in wireless disabled, reboot and see if issue went away.

          If it did, check to see if updated driver available for the wireless.  See Intel Wireless Networking Drivers and software.
