Blue screen error message - repetitive - how to stop it from happening?

I have windows XP and get a blue screen error message with something to the effect of:



A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.



PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA



If this is the first time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:



Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.



If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode...press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.

It gave some number.. but i never was able to catch the entire number.... this screen came several dozen times within the week... am clueless what started it! I havent added any new hardware or software recently.



BEFORE the blue screen came i used to get annoying pop-ups (and still do) saying to download some important software to protect my computer and what not... i didnt since it really didnt seem all that legit.



Another thing is sometimes i get a windows explorer error message i dunno if that's related..
