I booted up my newish rig (its been working fine for a month or so) earlier and was given a blue screen while it was loading Windows, which told me that it was performing a physical memory dump. Firstly, what does this mean? Is it a problem? It was up for a few seconds, then shut itself down. It had posted fine. I have turned it off and back on a few times since and it has not happened again, so is it anything to worry about? Is there anything I can do if it does happen again?

Well I cant be sure as there are a few errors on there , but I assume that it was this one. It is at the right time and seems to be the right thing!
The previous system shutdown at 20:13:31 on 02/09/2007 was unexpected.

---------------If it is not that one then I assume it is this one. The others all have explanations which I know were not this problem.

Fair enough, Ive upgraded all the drivers and havent had any problems. The GPU is only a stop-gap until I go DX10 at christmas or early next year anyway, and only cost £70 so if its that Im not too bothered. Thanks for the help!
