Brian Bleech Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 My computer has been crashing recently, for example: Yesterday it was on from 8am till 6pm, just downloading a 350meg torrent! I then switch it off until around 8:30 when I was did around 30mins editing in premiere and watched a dvd and about 20mins into the dvd it restarted and then just after it had loaded up it crashed to the dreaded blue screen and that said ‘beginning dump of physical memory’ Any ideas? overheating maybe? I can hear the fan working and it wasnt dusty when I put some new (altho 2nd) ram in on Saturday night. Could that ram just be broke maybe. It did crash before I put it in, but very rarely! It normally goes to begin with when either in doing a lot of stuff (msn, itunes, internet + others) or watching dvds or in premiere! any help ...Cheers Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 What was the error on the BSOD? I take it your running windows xp?If its happening regulary get yourself a copy of memtest86 (boots from a floppy or cd rather than running in windows) and leave that running for an hour or so and see if it produces any errors.

Danny Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 More likely to be a ram or windows install issue to be honest.Run memtest like i said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
