To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.

The procedure:

* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.



To ensure minidumps are enabled:

Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
OK your way out.
Reboot if changes have been made.

Memory management caused by dump_wmimmc.sys (Gameguard)

I would remove it and run memtest


Download a copy of Memtest86 and burn the ISO to a CD using Iso Recorder or another ISO burning program. Memtest86.com - Memory Diagnostic

Boot from the CD, and leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

Just remember, any time Memtest reports errors, it can be either bad RAM or a bad motherboard slot.

Test the sticks individually, and if you find a good one, test it in all slots.

how to remove this?

leave it running for at least 5 or 6 passes.

is it possible this error comes from a certain application? like if i open application A, after 20 mins there will be a BSOD?

Find gameguard in add/remove and remove it.

Passes=runs
when you boot from the dvd it will show on the screen. Let it run for several hours.

What application?

 

[hell911]

as you said, this BSOD maybe is connected to gameguard, im playing ragnarok online, and it have gameguard for anti 3pp users. maybe this game is causing the BSOD.

I am not a gamer so cant tell you. It is gameguard, not the game that keeps causing the crashes.

 

[hell911]

yes i know its not the game, but the gameguard with this game, cant play this game W/O gameguard, im stucked!

 

[hell911]

[zigzag3143]

i get this file mention in the BSOD screen >> dump_wmimmc.sys

Still Gameguard

 

[hell911]

this one.........


and, now we know it is the gameguard causing the BSOD, do i need to run memtest, coz i think it will be a waste since memory here is not the problem.
