Physical memory dump

[ripdog]

After installing a new ethernet card on my Dell 4100 I have been getting this scary blue screen that says "dumping physical memory to disk". It has happened three times and I haven't copied down the exact error message that goes with it yet. I have seen the ethernet card model number in the message, so I suspect that there is something up with that. This error occurs when I try to enable the network connection. I'll try to get the entire error message when it happens again. The computer reboots, checks the disk, and starts up again and is fine for a few days. I googled it and found only one bit of possibly useful info:

In Windows 2K, this issue could also be associated with a driver that is being loaded when Windows restarts. A possible solution to this problem would be to do a google search for and then download a program called "Startup Control Panel" which will allow you to go in and edit the startup folder in Windows 2K.

Once the program is in place, simply uncheck all items that do not need to start up when you reboot your computer. This procedure will not only increase your boot up time but it will likely eliminate the bad driver that is loading and causing your Blue Screen Memory Dump Error. Even if this remedy is not the cause of your error, the "Startup Control Panel" is a great utility to have in Windows 2K.

I think he meant to say decrease boot up time [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img], but I don't think it will solve my problem because I need that driver to access my DSL connection. What to do, what to do? I have also been getting an error 623 mesage (Cannot load dialogue: The system could not find a phone book entry for this connection) and the dial up modem can't seem to find a dial tone. Don't know if they're seperate problems or not.

Anybody have experience with this?
