Memory Dump

[FatalPhatboy]

Hey got a question i was playing wow the other day (yes i play) and out of the blue i got a Mem dump i think. It flashed a blue screen real fast and my pc restarted and would not load windows...so i took the memory out and put it in the other 2 slots on my mb and bingo it loaded so i shut down and put it back in the 2 slots i had them in to begin with and it loaded up. Can anyone tell me way? Thanks Overclockers:beer::beer::beer:

Could be failty memory, bad overclock...

How old is the PSU?

If you go to Control Panel<Administrative Tools<Event Viewer<System do you see any errors? Go through each one, it will tell you what the error was if it was a BSOD.

That PSU might be a problem, it might not be causing the memory problems but the truepower series from antec are subject to capacitors that like to say bye bye, just a thought.

tried running some FULL system benchmarks?

Additionally, a memory dump file shows that pool corruption has occurred.

These symptoms occur if the following conditions are true:
•A flash card is attached to the primary master hard disk.
•The flash card is disabled in the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS).Disregard that, its for server 2003, sec....

All you were doing is playing WoW (don't worry, I do too :beer:)? If it is only a one time thing, don't worry about it. If it happens again, then start looking into what caused it.

By any chance, do you have a Create sound card? :eh?:

[FatalPhatboy]

ive got a soundblaster x-fi sound card ive got the onboard turned off...could it be that wow was useing to much ram?

Check the Application log too, if it was caused by a program the error would be in there.

WOW doesnt currently have any memory leaks that I have seen.
