I am getting memory dump a lot these days. Is it due to lack of space or what?. I have 22.3 gb free space on my c drive so whats the problem. Its pissing me off now.

no one can help

Zip up 5 or 6 of the most recent dumps and attach here. Look in c:\windows\minidump.

hey thanks, they are in dmp file format, what should I do to convert?

The forum accepts the dmp file format as an attachment (100KB limit). You can attach 5 at a time.

ok thanks pete i will uploaded them tommorow.

if you suspect bad ram, run memtest 86+ from a floppy for at least 7 passes.
any errors indicates bad ram.
The vast majority of BSODs are caused by bad drivers or bad ram.
only a minidump will show if you are having driver issues.

In the meantime I suggest running crap cleaner registry repair

Same thing. Have had three dumps when closing down, after things seem to have closed.
Have attached last dump. Could someone please tell me how to read this?

Your dumps are from July '05. The problem is caused by a camera driver - snpstd.sys. Do you still have this driver insatalled? Otherwise see if you have some newer dumps.

saltheart: Your crash is caused by Zonealarm. Update Zonealarm to see if it solves the problem.

snpstd what the hell is that

I think its a Sony USB camera driver, or part thereof.
