Windows 7 computer, what do you mean you're "dumping memory"?

To solve,
Right click on my computer,
click on properties
click on the advanced tab
click on startup and recovery settings
uncheck the 'automatically restart' box.
click ok.

I found out, using the free app. of 'Speccy', that my motherboard of my Dual Core machine, offers very little FSB data communication between both the Processor Die and Socket towards the DIMM slots with very good RAM cards.

The motherboard causes a serious bottleneck in between both of these very good components. Turns out the socket of the processor die(plaque) has an allowance of only 200Mhz, the video/graphics card has only 400Mhz and, the same 400Mhz for the RAM cards. Therefore, putting this crappy motherboard at 800 MT/s.

So, whatever the information stored within the RAM cards is not considered absolutely important, the processors will not process it and, becomes dumped data/information/memory. Whenever you use 'Clean Disk', you will see the option of deleting this remnancy of dumped information.

Do your 'Clean Disk' every day and, you will see this error in dumped memory. Check it and delete it with the rest of the junk found onto your HDD.

Hope that clears of lot of fears due to that memory leak nonsense.

You are having problems with your RAM. You should clean it or replace it with a brand new one. This incident happened to me too.

Have had problems of similar nature cured them by typing UAC in search bar and adjusting the user control window which was at high down one level since then PC is fine. Watch if you use the One Care Scanner it tends to dump files which PC relies for connecting to Internet and may also affect Virus software I just done a system restore and everything was fine after that.

I currently run two computers, my new six core rig on W7 Ultimate 64 bit, and a quad core still on XP Pro SP3. Last night, on accessing the feed from the XP rig, I too had the BSOD. I tried rebooting without success, the BIOS showing a Hard disk error every time. I unplugged and replugged the SATA connecter on the drive, and at the MB, and the drive power connecter. It then booted without any problems.
It may be that your problem stems from bad / mucky contacts; I would try that first as it is the easiest fix. If you are using a laptop, remove and reinsert the drive, remembering to take out and put back the retaining screw.

I don't have Windows 7; but I do know that playing online games takes up a tremendous amount of RAM; far more than it used to with the more sophisticated games you find now. "Dumping memory" means that your computer is using up more memory than you have for the game.

I was freezing up my computer big time with one game I liked, and finally gave up trying to play it. Later, I figured it might be a JAVA problem, so I took a chance and uninstalled the biggest one from the Add-Remove page in Windows. When I tried the game again, JAVA sensed my OS and came on immediately with the message that I needed to download an old version of JAVA (I run XP),and sent me to the correct page to download it. After the download, the game ran perfectly. Apparently, some games have more than one version, which uses up either less or more RAM.

In my experience, the error of blue screen and dumping memory some times is a matter of lack of updates on your computer and also a matter of some of your drivers being out of date. Let me ask you something Juddy, by any chance have you run an program on your internet that it suggest you of keepnig your laptop up-dated by running an computer chek-up or suggesting that you should run an virus check-up? If it so, then there's your problem. These programs that runs an virus free check-ups on the internet it ussually what it does at the beggining they look like everything ran smoothly and that they found an few viruses on your computer and they have suggested you to have them clean-up from your computer. These programs what they do is that they take anything in their path and take them out their way, and they even take drivers and updates previously installed away from your computer. If you have the chance to make an back-up of your files do so and safe everyone of your files. Then if you have your windows 7 cd's run an new installation of your operating system and make sure you have your drivers cd. If you dont then just have windows 7 to run an new installation of your operating system and then you'll be free of that blue screen and that memory dump error. In my own opinion that's what I do when my clients come with the same issues. So there's nothing to worry about buying new memories or buying new motherboards like some of my collages have suggested you to do. Don't worry that's nothing that you cannot fix yourself. Come on Juddy go for it and you will become an expert. Just remember do not turn of your laptop or your pc while you are doing these proccedures, let windows 7 do all the work for you. AND PLEASE DO NOT RUN THOSE FREE CLEAN-UP PROGRAMS ON THE INTERNET, IF YOU RAN OUT OF YOUR ANTIVIRUS AND DON'T HAVE MONEY TO GET AN NEW ONE JUST DOWNLOAD THE WINDOWS DEFENDER FROM WINDOWS ESSENCIALS YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. As a matter of fact the others antivirus companies are mad at microsoft, because the antivirus from microsoft is better than theirs.

I have had issues with a USB device causing a BSOD. It was a card reader. USB and associated drivers can be kinda flakey sometimes. Are you using any external USB devices?

hi Judy , I got the same as you ,only it was with backing tracks ,got or "dumpt windows 7 and all is ok .
so I am happy and they can do what the like with
windows 7 . be happy .

Ther are many things that can cause this crash. Usually it's an out-date Graphics Csard driver - or even more common an old graphics card. Often it can be something as simple as the Northbridge/Soughtbridge drivers not havibeg been updated or even the CPU driver not uptdated!

However in the vast majority of cases the fault lies with th graphics card.

You need to take these steps:

1 Check your graphics card is compatible with the game you are palying.
2 Update the drivers for the graphics card regulary - at leat once per week.
3 Check you sound card is also compatible, update thse drivers if necessary.
4 Update both eth Northbridge and Southbidge drivers.
5 Update your CPU driver.

You should have a "clean" machine now, and nore to the ppoint completely updated.

Howvwer, please dont forget that you may well need a new graphics card an a new sound card, Please when you get the(If you you need them) update the dtivers as soon as possibel i.e right away.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this already, but make sure that you do not have 2 anti-virus programs installed, such as McAfee and AVG. If you do, uninstall one of them then restart. Make sure that you have the most updatedbios for your system also. To find out what bios you have, goto help and type in bios. Please backup before installing a new bios. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I had a very similar problem for a couple of months that i only managed to fix last week.

I tried everything from re-installing the operating system and drivers to bios and tested every piece of hardware, even replaced the graphics card and power supply but to no avail.

Finally found the problem but i have no idea why it occured still or how.

Looked in the bios one day and found that the memory timings were out compared to what the modules said they should run at.
Pulled one of them and got the label off and entered the correct timings manually instead of letting the system decide and touch wood I've had no problems since.

Hope that fixes the problem for you as well.

Dont tell me about 7 I DONT WANT THEM
CRAP!!!
XP FOREVER
AND IF I CAN'T, THAT'S THE END FOR MY PC!!!

I went to Windows 7 on a brand new 1TB Barracuda in my XPS 420 about three weeks ago. I wasn't ready to install everything yet, but I needed iolo System Mechanic and PowerPoint 2007 viewer to view a .pps. That's it, aside from really dependable Windows updates (choke, gag, laugh). Then the BSoD's started. I could be on for 15 seconds or 15 minutes, so nothing was overheated, except my anger. I upgraded my ATI drivers and utilities, but crashes continued. I did a chkdsk c: /f /r, but crashes continued. I did some System Mechanic fixes, but crashes continued. Finally, I told System Mechanic to dig deep and the BSoD's may be gone.

Nevertheless, I've decided that this Dell with HDMI audio (I hope) and video ports will sit next to my BSoD (Big Screen of Delight) in my living room and an iMac 27" i5 is going into my study.

It's Apple from now on and, as an IT VP, I'll convert my company to Apple within the next two generations of workstations.

I used ati overclocking utility and I bridged on my system hanging and being stable, I got a memory dump a few times after a week of having my card overclocked to basically to its max, I set the clock back a couple hz and now I am stable again, you can also tell by the temperature of your graphics card, when I turned back on my pc the card was 65 degrees fahrenheit thats after my computer restarted after the memory dump (blue screen) So the graphics card obviously overheated and the reason for the memory dump. HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEBODY!!!

run a root kit revealer and MBAM, you are most likley infected

I had the same issue 6months back,couldnt fix it then,i tried re installing windows7 but again i got blue screen in between the installation process,tried again and got the same result, i was totally helpless,
my hardware expert checked my system and told me that it could be a hard-disk problem he sent my hard disk to warranty and i got it replaced with a new one,i took all my previous data into new one,i could access all other hard disk drives other than c drive(os drive) from another system when kept in sharing,
after that i used to get a message frequently an my screen "some hard disk problem has been discovered on ur system" gave me three options 1)fix it now,2)ask me later and 3)never show this message again
when i chose first option it asked me an external drive to dump all my data into it,so used to chose 2nd option,it started asking me repeatedly and i got fed up i chose option3 on one day,
now it is perfectly ok,

There are two utilities I use to start the investigation process. They both are free:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/app_crash_view.html

There are a ton of other tools there, but those two will at least help you populate quite a bit of information outside of windows logs.

In my experience when this happens. It is Driver related, or at worst Hard drive failing. You should note the (error stop code)then search Windows7 errors.
Enter your error code, for a fix.
Best of luck Judy.

Windows 7 is just as bad as Vista, but the bugs are different.

I had bsod "memory dump". Win7-64bit, no virus protection. It occurred whenever I used a password to log-on. I was able to stay up with non-password user account. Got virus protection, scanned, found eight severe viruses, cleaned and problem solved.
