crashing with memory dumps???

[Fukngrvn 0]

I'm getting blue screen crashes every so often in win2k pro... seems that it does this when the system is under alot of stress.

It says that it's doing a physical memory dump on the blue screen...

Anyone else having this problem?

Anyone know possible remedies?

You'll have to specify exactly when it happens.

If you look at the blue screen dump, sometimes you can pick out what is causing the dump. That's what it's for. Most of the time for me it has been a bad driver. I have not gotten one in W2k (been runningit sence December) but I would get one from time to time in NT4.

I can't exactly specify when it happens...

Usually happens when I'm running quite a few programs... like ftp and irc clients. And I may go to copy a file or watch a movie clip and the added stress causes the physical memory dump/crash...

 

Any ideas?

What kind of memory?

What are you supposed to do with the "dump" file? Is there a way to look at its contents and get any good info or does it just take up a huge amount of hd space?

Here's an example of what it says on the screen after one of the crashes... hope this can help give an idea at to my problem.

 

message goes as follows:

 

*** STOP: 0x0000001E (0xC0000005, 0x080467446, 0x00000000, 0x02017FFC)

KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

Beginning dump of physical memory

Physical memory dump complete. Contact your system admin or tech support group.

 

 

well, that's the message I get when it crashes... anyone know what causes this? or more importantly, how to solve this???

Thanks
