It occurred right after service pack 2 was downloaded on 7/9/10. The event log says an error was detected on device\ Device\Harddisk2\DR2 during a paging operation. 12 hours later it says so again.
Since then the event log says An error was detected on device\Device\CDRom1 during a paging operation. A few times a day.
At this time we're barely able to get online. Almost incapable of switching pages. Do not apparently have enough memory to download anything.....
We're using Windows Vista. Firefox is our usual browser. This computer is only a year old. Can anyone please tell us what we do to fix this? Is it related to Service pack 2 with it's invalid certificates? We can't download a clever solution. I'm hoping it's a 30 cent chip we can change out. Although they don't do that anymore. Thanks.
I've seen a SP installation uncover a latent bad sectors on a hard drive so that could explain the hard drive read errors. But paging on a CD-ROM doesn't make any sense since a page file lives on a writable medium like your hard drive. Maybe your RAM went bad. Download memtest86 and let it run for a few hours or until it detects failures.
You can try rolling back to a point before sp2. Not sure why you would have invalid certificates though.
I tried. Automatic erase of restore points. Apparently we don't have enough memory. There are no restore points left. But nicely the event log told me about the restore points being erased so I'm not confused.

Restore points don't consume memory. How much memory (RAM) does you computer have and how much available disk space on your C drive do you have?
