The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Invalid page faults & fatal exceptions- why?

Zone:

Windows 95 Operating System

Tags:

windows

All too frequently I'm stopped dead in my tracks by invalid page faults, often (but not always) related to module KERNEL32.dll. In more extreme instances, I get the dreaded Fatal Exception blue screen & I must reboot. Then, sometimes when I reboot, I get a Windows Protection Error (cannot initialize device CONFIGMG). So then I go back & forth to safe mode, which sometimes gets me back to normal mode, & other times I just turn the system off & go get some coffee until everything cools off & I can usually get going again.
I notice a considerable number of other users get these problems, but have found precious little useful information that explains what causes these errors & how they can be avoided. Can anyone enlighten me? Are these software problems? Device conflicts or other hardware problems? Lets see, I'm using a Supermicro HX motherboard w/ 64 mb EDO, Windows 95, Future Domain PCI SCSI controller, 2 recent Seagate HDs (set as primary master & secondary master) & one SCSI drive, NEC SCSI cd-rom, SCSI zip drive, sound card, and #9 imagine 128 video. I've reformatted the primary master drive, pulled all the peripherals & reinstalled them after reinstalling Win95, set my mouse & video to standard serial & standard VGA (to try to isolate a device problem), ran BurnIn to try to identify hardware or memory problems (it didn't find any). I'll pay all my points for an answer.
