memory, hadent thought of that, let me tell ya what I have tried, I can boot into safe mode,everything I check says it's ok, when I try and do a normal boot the comp will restart itself a couple of time and then I get a protection error, or it boots, into the black screen and hangs, it did give me a couple of stack overflow errors so I did a search on google and checked a few things, but I can't get to my config.sys file in safe mode (shows blank, nothing there) I tried pulling out the net card, no change, also tried pulling sound card, nothing, no with just the video in I get constant windows protection errors????

the cpu temp shows decent in the bios, ( 46c), but it has run like this for awhile (iv'e been trying to go lower) my friend has the same machine and our temps and volts are identicle, the comp is not overclocked,

Well if your friend's system is identical, ask him to borrow his memory

It is not surprising your Config.sys is empty. There is no real reason to load anything in it, unless you use DOS apps. The Autoexec.bat is probably empty, or has very little in it too.

How can I find this fixNTKERN.exe program? I am having the same problem and I suspect that this might be able to fix it...only I don't have the program. I've looked everywhere for it. This NTKERN error just started happening out of the blue a couple weeks ago and is annoying. If I reboot in Safe Mode and then reboot from there, Windows runs fine.

I always look to the Power Supply for such errors. A cheap underpowered one can kill memory. And I never use cheap memory (Fry's CompUSA, BestBuy, CircuitCity, et. al.)
