I hope someone can help. I have 2 computers of friends that are doing the same thing, a memory dump on boot up. I will stick to one for now.
The computer has 2 hard drives. The old 4gb and a newer 60gb. Installed the new HD well over a year ago and all was fine till recently. It belongs to an elderly couple so they are not much help.
Sometimes, I can make it to the desktop and then the dump, other times, not that far in the boot process. As I watch the task bar at the bottom, I see things starting to load and when I see the Kodak Easy-share icon appear, it goes into the dump. Here is what I got from the event log.
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xffffff98, 0x00000001, 0x8044f4fc, 0x00000000). Microsoft Windows 2000 [v15.2195]. A dump was saved in: C:\WINNT\MEMORY.DMP.
I checked the dmp file and it is HUGE. I reboot in safe mode and try to uninstall Kodak Easy-share and I get a windows error message not allowing me to uninstall that or any other program.
I did disconnect the new 60gb HD and go back to the old 4gb HD with the same Win2000 operating system and it boots and runs great. Ran it like that for several hours so I don't think it is defective ram.
Any help would be appreciated.
