    Re: Memory dump

    When a program abends, a memory dump can be taken in order to examine the status of the program at the time of the crash. A small memory dump file records the smallest set of useful information that may help identify why your computer has stopped unexpectedly. Your first step is to make certain your computer is setup to record memory dumps. The small dumps are most desirable, because they aren't the size of your amount of ram.

    Re: Memory dump

    You need to check you log file regarding the Memory dump. From that file you will able to get the details below:
    1. You will able to get the whose message of stopping the process and then also other parameters.
    2. It will give you all the drivers details which are used by the system.
    3. Processor details when it stopped.
    4. Kernel information regarding the dump memory.
    5. Stack details.

    Re: Memory dump

    To set up your XP computer to create the appropriate minidump;

    Click 'start', Right click 'My Computer', click 'Properties','Advanced' and under 'Startup and Recovery' click 'Settings'.

    Check mark: Write an event to the system log'.

    While there, uncheck 'Automatically restart' if it is checked.

    Under 'Write debugging information' select 'Small memory dump (64 kB)'. The location is default so leave it.

    When you look later for the default location it is in the c:\Windows\Minidump folder.

    Note: if your Page File is on a drive other than the boot drive, you cannot get a mini-dump.

    For Vista I believe you click start, right click computer. Then from the next screen, click Advanced system settings, and then choose 'startup and recovery' settings.

    Re: Memory dump

    A small memory dump file records the smallest set of useful information that may help identify why your computer has stopped unexpectedly. This option requires a paging file of at least 2 megabytes (MB) on the boot volume. On computers that are running Microsoft Windows 2000 or later, Windows create a new file every time your computer stops unexpectedly. A history of these files is stored in a folder.

    Re: Memory dump

    A core dump represents the complete contents of the dumped regions of the address space of the dumped process. Depending on the operating system, the dump may contain few or no data structures to aid interpretation of the memory regions. The 32-bit version of Debugging Tools for Windows is the best choice, unless you are debugging an application on a 64-bit processor. For that you need to check out the following link. You can also use Dumpchk.exe to verify that a memory dump file has been created correctly. The Dump Check Utility does not require access to debugging symbols.

    Re: Memory dump

    You have mentioned that the file that is describing the problem is located at :
    C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini123009-05.dmp.
    After checking your error, I came to conclusion that some updates of the Windows is causing this issue. I would like to suggest to try to uninstall the KB973879 update from the Windows Update. Hope this may solve your problem. Also does the error comes only while starting the Games.??

    Re: Memory dump

    I dont think that the error you are getting is due to operating system or any of its update. Windows gives Physical memory dump error when it is not able to access certain memory location on the RAM. I will suggest you to get your RAM checked. If you are using multiple RAM chips then try to boot the system using Single RAM chip at a time.

    Re: Memory dump

    It seems that you are the license copy of the Operating system and hence after the updates your System gets corrected. So try to use a license copy of the Operating system or Try the newer version of the Windows vista i.e Windows 7. If you still get similar problem the check on the official website of the Operating system.
