    Hey, I own a Sony Vaio VGN NS190D and recently I've been receiving a "dumping physical memory error". Since I've always been able to restart and start working again, I've never paid it any mind. Just today though, I had a BSOD and no matter how many times I try, it wont go past that. I've tried the start-up repair and starting in safe mode but it still blue screens. Any idea what happened?

    This is what appears btw:

    wimFsf.sys

    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

    STOP: 0x00000050 (0xFFFFFA6003F23E22, 0x0000000000000000, 0xFFFFFA60016985EE, 0x0000000000000000)

    It might be defective RAM
