    Hi everyone,

    does anyone know what is the cause of the blue screen of death (BSOD)? coz my computer seem to be getting "physical memory dump" screen quite often... any idea?

    i have a acer aspire 3003WLCi Sempron 3000+, 512MB ram, 80GB hdd, SiSM760GX (64MB shared).

    thx in advance

    Is there anything in the Event Viewer? Perhaps a fresh install of Windows will help.

    Drivers?

    Be sure to delete 512MB memory dump files on your disk.

    i deleted the memory dump files.... the BSOD now shows that something to do with SiSgrv.dll

    oh and i realize something, the vga bios version is 2.27 and windows driver is 3.65... does that mean i have to upgrade my bios? and if so, how to do it?

    another problem i have is, now i have a dual OS, XPPro and XPMCE, the thing is that when i run MCE, the computer overheats and all the lines come up on the screen and the computer freezes... any idea?
