Alright, Since Guild Wars has come out, I'd had this beautiful error to help me out at spots. I get to Halls, out of memory. In UW or On a Fissure forge run, Out of memory, GvG, out of memory, THK, out of memory, It gets pretty annoying.

I have formatted my computer thinking that maybe a virus could be corrupting core files, no luck, I am still getting this error.
I have 2 computers almost exactly alike, both are
AMD 2500+ XP Barton Core 333Mhz
1GB DDR 333Mhz
256Mb DDR Geforce 6800 8x AGP
1 With A 600 Watt Ultra X Connect, And 1 Diablo 550 Watt Psu
This computer which receives errors has a 400gb Hard drive and a 120gb Hard drive, The other one has a 40gb Maxtor.

I explained that both computers are alike because I switched out the RAM/Memory Sticks out on this, used them on that computer for 2 days, no errors, switched video cards, no errors, switched processors, no errors, switched motherboards, no errors. Nothing is overheating, even the processor runs at 108 F* at the peak. I believe that maybe my hard drive with guild wars on its partition and windows on another partition may be faulty since that is the only other hardware I have not tested/the only different piece.

I get window's blue screen
Page Fault In Non Paged Area or something close to that
Event 1003, I could upload the minidump's if needed but thank you for anytime you could spare to help me out.

By the way, my computer runs any other game/application Anything smoothly and without errors, just guild wars happened to say lets not work :X.
Thanks


Edit : I have drivers 71.89 installed, and have switched through before the format to all other versions within the 60.-80. range.

Do you have your page file set to a permanent size? If so try increasing the max.

I FOUND OUT WHATS WRONG!!

Your out of ram

LoL, well as a solution you could try buying more ram or increaseing your pagefile size, also download a free ram utility!

I reccommend freeramxppro

I've not a fan of "Free Memory" programs. There best use is when you have a way older machine and barely meet system requirements for your OS IMHO.

I suspect you have a mis-behaving program other then GW. This could be ad-ware, spyware or an application you run at the same time is "leaking" memory (takes resources and doesn't release it) and not giving it back to the system (which a "free memory" Band-Aid’s the symptom but not the problem).

Or you could be developing hardware issues:
Try this program to test your memory - http://www.memtest.org/

Also have 1gb of ram (as I do currently) is plenty right now.

It is also possible that with the new build, gw is "leaking" under certain instances.

Alright Its been 2 full days and no error, so what I did to fix this is.
Changed my pagefile onto my windows partition and change it to 3000mb-4000mb so now there is no way it could lie and say out of memory.

Hope this helps, ty for the replies.

I've been getting this error as well, though it hasn't happened in the 24 hours... It can't be adware or spyware since I just reinstalled Windows... I have 1024MB of RAM and 1.5x that of virtual memory. I've also been getting BSODs telling me that there's a PAGED_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. This happened to me (the BSODs, not the Out of Memory error) when I installed Guild Wars on my last installation of XP, but they stopped after a while.
