    I have a similar situation as the OP, but I am not sure about the exact error numbers so I'll just retell.


    So I was using my computer normally as I have been since I got it (some time ago), and out of no where it completely freezes up, nothing works. So I press the power switch, and after some time (pretty long, thought it was weird and worth mentioning) it turns off and I restart.

    Everything seems fine, so I go back to what I was doing. Then, it happens again (within I'd say 30 minutes of the first one). I'm getting kind of annoyed now, so I restart it again and scan my computer for some bug. Nothing was found on my computer, so I'm thinking it must be a problem with power supply or overheating.

    After a couple more freezes (longer intervals, though), I check my fans and they're all working, and I really didn't want to go through the hassle of checking my power supply, so I just turned my computer off for the night and tried it about an hour ago.

    Today, about 10 minutes after turning it on, it freezes for a few seconds then slams me with the blue screen error that the OP mentioned. I do play computer games, but I don't just get it when I'm playing them; it happens when I'm on the internet (for example). I haven't reproduced the error YET, so I don't know what to think of it. Right now I'm booted with a past set up so maybe it was a bad installation.


    Edit: Whenever my computer is about to go down, it makes clicking noises for a while before it does (the actual computer, not a noise on the internet or something), which actually makes me think it's definitely not some program.

    How do i pause the error?

    Okay, i have the Blue Screen of Death infrequently but i have had it ever since i got my new computer (like 5 months ago). I probably get the error once every 1 or 2 weeks. My question at the moment is how do i make the error pause on screen so i can write down the specifics, as you only have about 30 seconds to find a note pad, or in my case jump over a table and fall over a chair in a desperate effort to get a camera, before the computer restarts. I saw someone explain how to do it a couple months ago but i have long since forgotten where i saw that...so, any ideas?

    Reason to dumping of physical memory

    Hey guy's I am a computer nerd.I think I can give u a reason to this:- it's because while playing a game or doing something the RAM merges up the files and losses out some system files so the blue screen appears and say's 'dumping physical memory'. This is a kind of serious problem to some computers because in some cases the system gets crashed when the blue screen is on. And if you are using windows vista and higher version u will have to insert the os CD and click repair. This could set the problem up.

    my question to every person above is why did everyone post their question under one topic? If you all have individual problems it would make it easier to make a new topic about your issue then perhaps you will get the answer you are looking for.

    i tried my very best to fix any software problems about this..

    and i found out the root of this particular problem..

    your hard disk may be not inserted well in your hard disk drive =)

    Blue Screen, Memory Dump

    I hear all about these games, the Call Of Duty..........I have this part 2, which it sometimes affects to have blue screens... When I used adobe photoshop CS3.., The Sim City 4, and others, Memory Dump Shows Up, due to Physical Memory.... As well as browsing and loading long and hard in facebook...cityville.... It is really shocking when it shows up.... The problem is its Physical View or Resolution Advanced effect or something, when it loads longer or slower, it might cause Blue Screen or memory dump....For me to prevent this, I check the performance in the Task Manager preventing goes high after loading my Anti-Virus which is Kaspersky Anti Virus 2011, second latest today, preventing the graph going higher by draging the scroll in any browser slowly, showing drag movements in any games slowly in care like in call of duty2 or flight simulator X, and others........................ang also prevent programs which is slower loading, means logging.....I hate this physical memory dump or something.....

    Try to erase something which is not important in your directories
    C:\Windows\Minidump\
    C:\Users\9720JAS\AppData\Local\Temp\
    or %SystemRoot%\TEMP
    Use Run for windows vista or Windows 7
    I should have apple software to prevent viruses, but which I do not prefer yet

    No problem with this, If you would check mine.....12/30/2010

    I am NOT very computer literate. I am at a loss as to what to do to fix my problem with the blue screen memory dump message. Can anyone break it down in step by step EASY to understand steps to take? Thanks for any help.
  16. amin202 Newcomer, in training

    I don't know why,But i think this error is related with windows update some how!!
    I'll install service pack2 64x for win 7 .If it fix the problem,you'll be award! :D
    And if nothing happens,I'll reinstall my windows and never-ever update it... :(

    I have to add some notes too!
    I have a 32bit windows 7 too and i haven't been updated it yet.so i got that, these dumping stuffs doesn't happen in 32bit wins and non-updated systems!

    Beleave me,there is nothing wrong with your hardwares!
    It's all in softwares and specially in your windows update center...

    blue screen error

    Yeah.... i have the same error... Idk where does it come from but i have recently taken a "speed test" for my internet connection and from then since my pc kinda started slowing down?? Anyway, i do get the blue screen when i open my computer (I have got Windows 7 Ultimate) and after it loads up the blue screen appears. Luckly, my Win 7 has a special Startup Repair feature that helps me restore the computer at an earlier state and it takes only 5 mins or so, then it comes back to normal until next startup... I have tried uninstalling my CS:S and all other Valve games right now and i'll report back with the results...
  19. WebMasta Newcomer, in training

    I GOT THE KEY (Win 7 ONLY!!)

    I heard that Valve games like CS or other stuff make it appear so i uninstalled my CS... The blue screen has vanished... Until i have plugged in my camera and THEN opened the PC and it worked correctly.
    The next day i opened my PC again but the blue screen reappeared and the "Startup Repair" came in. It tried fixing the system but it didn't work... it has shown me an error bout something like if i have recently plugged in a camera or music player i have to unplug it and restart Windows... I did... It didn't work....
    But you see, when the error comes up, there is some writing in blue on the bottom left of the casette that says something about fixing problems manually with command prompt or something... Click it and a language selection case will appear, then a User logon screen... Log in with ur user or password (if you don't have a password then leave the space empty) and a screen with selections will appear... Choose the System Backup one (or sumthin like backup-ing) and choose the most recent date, click Restore or Rebuild or whatever and leave it restoring, reboot ur PC and... Voila! Ur PC is back to normal in no-time!
    P.S.-do NOT, i repeat, do NOT plug ANY USB device in the USB slot BEFORE opening the PC.
    P.S.S.-I have managed to do all this stuff with no professional help ( i am a 14 yr old earging to become a programmer at Rockstar Games ^_^)

    I GOT THE KEY (Win 7 ONLY!!!) Step by Step

    PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS IF U WANNA FIX THE BLUE SCREEN
    1.Open your PC
    2.Leave the bluescreen to reboot ur computer
    3.go to Startup Repair and leave it going until it finishes (i know if you only do that the blue screens gonna reappear)
    4.When it finishes there is some blue writing in the bottom left corner that says "Fix problems manually" or something like that...Click it
    5.A language selection case will pop up... select your language
    6.A User Login case will pop up... Select your username and enter your password (if you dont have one leave the field blank)
    7.Select the System Restore and select the most recent date, click Restore or Start or whatever
    8.Leave it restoring and when it's done,reboot ur PC.
    9.Voila!! (the restore might work on viruses too)
    P.S.-NEVER PLUG IN YOUR USB DRIVES IN THE PC BEFORE YOU START IT... It may cause the blue screen to appear...
    P.S.S.-If the blue writing doesn't show up then plug some USB in the PC and the error that will show up in Startup Repair may show you the blue writing...
