As for the problem, physical memory is RAM (if I recall correctly). If your system needs to dump your RAM, then you may have bad RAM somewhere. The reason it locks up is it erases everything from RAM, including your OS. Everything will get reloaded from your hard drive when you boot up again, so unless you do something and don't save it, you won't lose anything permanently. But replace your RAM as soon as possible. Not to worry, RAM tends to be pretty cheap. Ruvyen fucked around with this message on 08-05-2004 at 08:18 PM.

Recently my computer has picked up a new habbit. About 5 minutes after I turn it on the screen goes blue and says something about dumping physical memory. I cant get out of this screen and am forced to turn the power off. Anyone know why this is happening, or more imporntantly how to fix it? I'm using win 2k and just reformated recently so I really dont know whats going on.
Is there like a 3 mile long error code on that screen?

Beginning dump of physical memory
This is what its saying.
I ramped it down, and it's fine now.

Shitty drivers have caused most of my past BSODs other than ones I know were caused by overclocking. Change any of those recently?

Dont know how to overclock and i'm pretty sure I havent gotten any new drivers in a few months. I dread reformating again but I suppose I have no other choice.
What OS you on? If you are running XP you can try using the system restore to go back before the erros happened. Start->Run->put in "restore"->open rstrui Alaan fucked around with this message on 08-05-2004 at 08:59 PM.

But I have a simple mouse issue, and there's a friggin' tumbleweed blowing through the thread.
