Lost Space On Physical Memory / System Asking For Login Options?
Aug 18, 2009
I have a memory problem, I have 248 MB of physical memory and only 88MB free. That is better than it was last night -- last night I had only 33MB free. My virtual memory is 606 MB with 244MB free.I cannot access certain things all of a sudden -- for instance, when I click in the system tools to do a disk defrag it never comes up. When I click on the Set Program Access and Defaults it never comes up. In control panel when I click on any of the icons in Administrative Tools -- none of them open.when the computer boots up it has the screen where it is asking for a password

Several times a day my computer jumps to a blue screen and says it is dumping the physical memory and counts from 1 to 100 and reboots. Just aggravates me to death. I am a senior citizen and not too swift on the computer operation, but I try.

I have a friend, seriously - it's a friend not me, that had to do the windows genuine updgrade. She paid the $150 and instead of just plugging in the new product key she inserted the CD they mailed her and started a new install of windows. It seems it had trouble locating files and now she gets a option to select which operating system at start.The setup won't continue (it can't locate files on CD - maybe bad disk) and when she selects the original XP pro setup it won't let her past the login screen.

Dell 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.

well, 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

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.

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.

Over the past 48 hours my computer has begun to give me the following error:A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.I have not installed any new programs in about two weeks.I have tried to fix this myself by running spyware scans (spybot and adaware) as well as AVG virus scans.All turned up nothing.I also run "clean-up" regularly to get rid of my temp internet files, etc and ran that as well.I also checked my hard disk for errors and had them automatically fixed.If there is any other information you need, please let me know and I will do my best to provide it asap.

I have win xp and my hard drive is literally vanishing while I watch. For example: I deleted nearly 7 gigs worth of stuff from it and checked properties on it, and during the course of a half hour it dropped from 7 gigs to approximately 8megs all by itself. I have not downloaded anything, but I have noticed for some time my space has been vanishing on me. I have msn internet service and it has been creating duplicate emails at an alarming rate. I m not sure if this is the culprit or not but when I deleted it i suddenly had 6 gigs back.

When I start up Windows XP I get a message from Zone Alarm which reads:Suspicious Behavior Windows Genuine Advantage is trying to read and modify physical memory ( programme WgaTray.exe)Zone Alarm gives me the option to allow or deny - thus far I have opted for deny. Please could anyone tell me what Windows Genuine Advantage is; I suspect any advantage would be to Microsoft rather than to me.

I am working on a Dell Inspiron 8200 Laptop.The first problem was a blue screen that said:Quote: STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure}The registry cannot load the hive (file):systemrootsystem32configsoftware or its log or alternate It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete.Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance I fixed that by going into the recovery console and replacing:C:windowssystem32configsoftware C:windowssystem32configsam.bak
C:windowssystem32configsystem.bakC:windowssystem32configdefault.bakC:windowssystem32configsecurity.bakwith the one in the C:windows epair directory

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.

Everything will freeze, completeley and then it will go to a blue screen that says something like
HARD DRIVER ERROR:BEGINNING DUMP OF PHYSICAL MEMORY
which scares the living **** out of me, so I turn off the power manually from the power strip connected to my computer and switch it on again, sometimes, It'll start up and after it shows the Hardware and Window XPs loads, It goes to another blue screen that says HARD ERROR, instead of having me log in.

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?

Every time I turn my computer on, it goes to the blue welcome screen, but does not show any log in options. Usually my name comes up and I can click on it to log on, but only the blue screen with the windows logo appears. It's not frozen because the mouse still responds, but I can't click on anything and the keys don't appear to have any effect.

A co-worker turned on _all_ of the accessibility options on my PC as a gag and turned off the computer. Upon being presented with a logon screen, any keypresses made result in an audible 'bong' noise, the title bar of the 'press ctl+alt+del to login' window flashes and the keystroke appears to have done nothing. At this point, I cannot press ctl+alt+del to be able to log in.

Really strange problem. Windows XP reports that I'm low on disk space. And if I open My Computer, right-click on the hard disk and go to Properties, it shows ~26GB of Used Space and ~4GB of Free Space. However, I do not understand what is taking up so much space. It is a new PC with very little data.Furthermore, if I 'Select All' on the contents of C:, and right-click for the properties of all files and folders, the Size on Disk only equals 11.6 GB, which seems more reasonable. (FYI, I have already set 'show hidden files and directories' in Folder Options)

When I turn on the computer it goes to the Windows XP screen, there it prompts you to log in as Administrator or Guest. I can log in as a guest, but I can't change nothing or do anything else there. I want to log in as the administrator. How can I get the Administrator's password, or change it to a new one?
