Windows 7 forum: Windows 7 computer, what do you mean you're "dumping memory"?

How to make a program to shut windoze down ,,,my wife did it in 3 seconds( she turned it on)

Even a redneck like me !!!!!

I found out, using the free app. of 'Speccy', that my motherboard of my Dual Core machine, offers very little FSB data communication between both the Processor Die and Socket towards the DIMM slots with very good RAM cards.

The motherboard causes a serious bottleneck in between both of these very good components. Turns out the socket of the processor die(plaque) has an allowance of only 200Mhz, the video/graphics card has only 400Mhz and, the same 400Mhz for the RAM cards. Therefore, putting this crappy motherboard at 800 MT/s.

So, whatever the information stored within the RAM cards is not considered absolutely important, the processors will not process it and, becomes dumped data/information/memory. Whenever you use 'Clean Disk', you will see the option of deleting this remnancy of dumped information.

Do your 'Clean Disk' every day and, you will see this error in dumped memory. Check it and delete it with the rest of the junk found onto your HDD.

Hope that clears of lot of fears due to that memory leak nonsense.

Have had problems of similar nature cured them by typing UAC in search bar and adjusting the user control window which was at high down one level since then PC is fine. Watch if you use the One Care Scanner it tends to dump files which PC relies for connecting to Internet and may also affect Virus software I just done a system restore and everything was fine after that.

I currently run two computers, my new six core rig on W7 Ultimate 64 bit, and a quad core still on XP Pro SP3. Last night, on accessing the feed from the XP rig, I too had the BSOD. I tried rebooting without success, the BIOS showing a Hard disk error every time. I unplugged and replugged the SATA connecter on the drive, and at the MB, and the drive power connecter. It then booted without any problems.
It may be that your problem stems from bad / mucky contacts; I would try that first as it is the easiest fix. If you are using a laptop, remove and reinsert the drive, remembering to take out and put back the retaining screw.

In my experience, the error of blue screen and dumping memory some times is a matter of lack of updates on your computer and also a matter of some of your drivers being out of date. Let me ask you something Juddy, by any chance have you run an program on your internet that it suggest you of keepnig your laptop up-dated by running an computer chek-up or suggesting that you should run an virus check-up? If it so, then there's your problem. These programs that runs an virus free check-ups on the internet it ussually what it does at the beggining they look like everything ran smoothly and that they found an few viruses on your computer and they have suggested you to have them clean-up from your computer. These programs what they do is that they take anything in their path and take them out their way, and they even take drivers and updates previously installed away from your computer. If you have the chance to make an back-up of your files do so and safe everyone of your files. Then if you have your windows 7 cd's run an new installation of your operating system and make sure you have your drivers cd. If you dont then just have windows 7 to run an new installation of your operating system and then you'll be free of that blue screen and that memory dump error. In my own opinion that's what I do when my clients come with the same issues. So there's nothing to worry about buying new memories or buying new motherboards like some of my collages have suggested you to do. Don't worry that's nothing that you cannot fix yourself. Come on Juddy go for it and you will become an expert. Just remember do not turn of your laptop or your pc while you are doing these proccedures, let windows 7 do all the work for you. AND PLEASE DO NOT RUN THOSE FREE CLEAN-UP PROGRAMS ON THE INTERNET, IF YOU RAN OUT OF YOUR ANTIVIRUS AND DON'T HAVE MONEY TO GET AN NEW ONE JUST DOWNLOAD THE WINDOWS DEFENDER FROM WINDOWS ESSENCIALS YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. As a matter of fact the others antivirus companies are mad at microsoft, because the antivirus from microsoft is better than theirs.

hi Judy , I got the same as you ,only it was with backing tracks ,got or "dumpt windows 7 and all is ok .
so I am happy and they can do what the like with
windows 7 . be happy .

I "upgraded" an older laptop to Windows 7 and started getting blue screens that I never had before. I tried updating the graphics driver, which is usually the culprit, but still had the problem. The only way I was able to solve the problem was to revert back to Windows XP, which came with the machine. I believe the problem was that I was trying to run some video intensive programs and the video card that came built into this machine didn't have a lot of built in memory and the machine itself only has 2GB of RAM. It appears to me that Windows 7 is such a resource hog that a machine that is a little over 3 years old just can't handle it. If you have a desktop computer it is easy enough to upgrade the video card and this usually solves the blue screen problem, but if you have a laptop you are usually out of luck. The bottom line seems to me that one shouldn't bother trying to "upgrade" to Windows 7 if you have a laptop older than 2 years old or you will create more problems than you solve. This is all part of the hardware and software industry's approach to make your technology obsolete as often as possible to get you to buy new.

I had a very similar problem for a couple of months that i only managed to fix last week.

I tried everything from re-installing the operating system and drivers to bios and tested every piece of hardware, even replaced the graphics card and power supply but to no avail.

Finally found the problem but i have no idea why it occured still or how.

Looked in the bios one day and found that the memory timings were out compared to what the modules said they should run at.
Pulled one of them and got the label off and entered the correct timings manually instead of letting the system decide and touch wood I've had no problems since.

Hope that fixes the problem for you as well.

I went to Windows 7 on a brand new 1TB Barracuda in my XPS 420 about three weeks ago. I wasn't ready to install everything yet, but I needed iolo System Mechanic and PowerPoint 2007 viewer to view a .pps. That's it, aside from really dependable Windows updates (choke, gag, laugh). Then the BSoD's started. I could be on for 15 seconds or 15 minutes, so nothing was overheated, except my anger. I upgraded my ATI drivers and utilities, but crashes continued. I did a chkdsk c: /f /r, but crashes continued. I did some System Mechanic fixes, but crashes continued. Finally, I told System Mechanic to dig deep and the BSoD's may be gone.

Nevertheless, I've decided that this Dell with HDMI audio (I hope) and video ports will sit next to my BSoD (Big Screen of Delight) in my living room and an iMac 27" i5 is going into my study.

It's Apple from now on and, as an IT VP, I'll convert my company to Apple within the next two generations of workstations.

run a root kit revealer and MBAM, you are most likley infected

Hi Judy. Google "Windows 7 Update Advisor" and download and run this software. It comes from Microsoft and will scan your PC, checking your hardware and software to make sure it is compatible with Windows 7. I very rarely have the same issue but as Lee suggested, it can be caused by many issues. My most recent was with Server 2003 Enterprise, it ran fine until I loaded a piece of software that caused the system to fall over, giving me the BSOD, what you are describing. I think that in my case it was an incompatibility issue of drivers. Anyway, try the Advisor first, it should show any issues. My gut feeling is that it might be an idea to swap your RAM modules around to see if that helps, it could be, as suggested, faulty RAM and moving the modules around may help the addressing issue a bit. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

In my experience when this happens. It is Driver related, or at worst Hard drive failing. You should note the (error stop code)then search Windows7 errors.
Enter your error code, for a fix.
Best of luck Judy.

I had bsod "memory dump". Win7-64bit, no virus protection. It occurred whenever I used a password to log-on. I was able to stay up with non-password user account. Got virus protection, scanned, found eight severe viruses, cleaned and problem solved.

I like my antivirus John Jent ...Linux LMDE. I have yet to pick up a virus although there may be one out there somewhere. If I do get one all I have to do is format the root partition (NOT THE WHOLE DRIVE )and re-install mint LOL no damage to the rest of my files ...
