About every day now, I'll be on the computer and I get the blue screen of death and it says "beginning dump of physical memory" then I have to unplud the computer to shut it down. It also says some other stuff about the address and other computer stuff. The writting isn't centered on the screen like it usually is witht the blue screen of death, but is written in smaller font in the top left. When I restart it stalls as soon as the monitor turns on (I have a laptop). Or it stalls when the IBM Thinkpad screen comes on. Then I have to let it sit for a couple hours and try restarting it. I think this might be a RAM problem.

Hi Bede,

I, along with a couple of other collegues have had this happen and both times it was because something melted or overheated in the computer. I'd get it looked at before you lose major components. It sounds more harware than software. Which windows version are you running?

Windows 2000. I was thinking hardware too. Perhaps this has to do with the pipe that leaked into my keyboard 6 mos ago. I thought I fixed the problem. Perhaps a physical RAM problem??
