I was doing something with task manager today and I saw that it's only reading 780 some mb of physical memory when it should be reading a gig. Is there anything I can do short of taking them out individually and putting them in different slots to test them? I have a 512mb and two 256's.
View 6 RepliesDell Optiplex GX240 with Windows XP. While i was asleep my computer crashed with a blue screen. I wasn't able to copy down the error message, but on the bottom it read beginning dump of physical memory I restarted the computer and after the Dell load page it turns into a black screen reading strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for setup utility. F1 will only return to same message, and F2 leads me to setup utility. The only device that seems to be working is my A: drive. It says that my cd drive is not installed.

View 9 Replies View Relatedwell, I managed to screw up my winxp reinstall in a big way. I'm very upset over it since its my sis-in-laws computer. Before, she could not access the internet, but at least she could boot up WinXP and play games, access her email and all of her programs on the desktop...now...nothing but the following popup error message:
Error: One of the files containing the system registry data had to be recovered by use of a log or alternate copy. The recovery was successful
then the popup disappears and sends me to a blue screen (long) message starting with this:
A problem has been detected and windows bios has been shut down to prevent damage
Everytime I perfom a Spyware Scan on my daughters computer it reboots automaticly, with a short blue screen flashing up. And when I run a microsoft update scan the computer reboots in the same manner during that scan. Everytime the HD is getting scaned it reboots in the middle of it, with a short flash of a blue screen that talks about physical memory dump. Can somebody help me there. By the way I reformated the HD already and reloadet everything new on that HD, because it had the same problem before. Could it be the BIOS or a setting.

My computer was working a minute ago. I decided to restore it. I put the disk in, except it belonged to my other Sony computer. The computer message was that it was the wrong disk. So I took it out. I rebooted the computer and got the blue screen of death it says Dumping physical memory to disk and started at 0 and got to 60. I figured it'd explode at 100 LOL so I better shut it down. I rebooted several times but that always comes up. I rebooted and hit F8 I think it is which gave me the option to reboot the hard drive, a floppy, or the DVD drive. I did one at a time, rebooting in between each choice. I still have that screen. Did I totally ruin my computer? Oh sigh.I can get to nothing but that screen. No control panel.I then figured I couldn't make it much worse, so I put in the Windows XP disk to just install Windows XP again, but the computer wouldn't even pick it up. The disk was spinning, but the screen remained the same.

I am a computer science/engineer major and I know somewhat a lot about computers, but this is my first time seeing this blue screen. My computer will start up to the compaq screen then goes to windows xp and then it flashes a blue screen for a split second. I was able to freeze it, but do not know how i did it, but it said something about a cretain system32 file is corrupt. there is a corrupt hive. complete physical memory dump complete. contact tech support or system administrator. right now, I am out of town and i have been reading about it and they say something about using a recovery console. I do not have my XP disk with me. I was wondering could I use anyone's XP disk and how do i fix this problem with no disk or using a XP disk?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe Windows Sysinternals group at Microsoft has released Disk2vhd that is a free physical to virtual converter. Disk2vhd allows you to create VHD (virtual hard dive) files from physical drives on your computer while your system is online. The VHD files generated can be used in Microsoft Virtual PC or on Hyper-V server and you will have an instant clone of your machine running virtually. This is perfect for duplicating a production server for a development virtual machine that you can use on a different computer.
View 9 Replies View RelatedCD-RW and DVD-Rom stopped reading data on my CD's. They see the CD's but don't read the data, the CD's appear not to contain anything. I've posted the particular problem twice on this forum, but got no answer. For users experiencing the same or similar problems, I've now determined the cause... I've got a SAHARA USB 2.0 flash drive that came with a UFD-utility that enables one to configure the drive into a private and public area, enabling you to safeguard critical files. This utility causes this problem. Unfortunately I could thus far not find a solution, apart from uninstalling the utility and making do without this function. The flash drive works fine otherwise, not causing any problems. Only the UFD-utility does. I will see if I can find an update that resolves this problem and I will let SAHARA know about it.

View 4 Replies View Relatedall of a sudden..it begins a "physical dump". The first time it did it. It said it was due to hardware. I went through my hardware list and it all appeared to be fine. Suddenly...it did it again. This time the message was just a bunch of numbers (I didn't write them down. but I'm sure it will happen again and I'll get it.) Long story short. I went to several friends and everything they tell me to do seems to be making things worse.
My computer won't start in safe mode, or normal mode..right now it will only start when I choose "The last configuration that worked".

I've run so many programs that I don't know what I've tried and what I haven't.
