Bluescreen and crash.

Hi,

Can someone please help me analyze the attached Mini Dump Files?
My computer is often pops up these blue screens and restarts quickly.

Thanks!

These crashes are all over the place and I'm quite confident that your machine is suffering from underlying hardware issues.

As a suggestion, make sure that nothing is over-clocked or under-cooled, update your BIOS, and run some memory diagnostics.

There is no point going into in-depth software troubleshooting while the hardware is questionable.

I see.

Nothing is OC'ed and since I had these crashes I bought a Zalman cooler for my P4 (Jeez... a good one)

I also replaced the memory to a new one (2GB). Where can I find a good memory test program?

Thank you.

Even if the problem is not heat-related, a good cooler is never a waste

Windows has a built-in utility memory diagnostics utility - MDSCHED. There are many 3rd-party ones, including the very popular MEMTEST. You should probably give both a go. Bad or mismatched RAM is the most likely cause.

No problem at all. I know it can be very frustrating to be faced with this sort of issue. Unfortunately, minidumps are not a good way to pinpoint the exact nature of any underlying hardware defect. They only suggest that there is a problem, but not which component is the cause.

Good luck with it!

Hi again,

Just finished the windows memory test. Guess what... IT IS THE MEMORY.
I am going back to the store where I bought these memories and going to mess their place. So thank you very much and goodbye.
