Right, my laptop is really playing up. Every day It will **** up, maybe by not opening a programme or just going completely crazy.

For example about 20 minutes ago , it wouldn't open MSN and was just slow. Then all of a sudden this came up.

Now its happened before. But this time when i restarted windows , firefox has been messed up. Bookmarks/History/COokies all deleted.

Im really worrying about this now as i am selling this soon as I'm building a new rig, any help is much appreciated.
 
Its nothing to "worry" per se about, just run memtest+ And if you can post the minidump someone can check whats actually casuing you to lock up. Solve it pretty easy soon enough i'd think. Don't lose any sleep or start writing your will just yet...
 
You can burn a boot cd off the site if i remember correctly? Boot from the cd leave it going... Tbh if you just post the minidump file it would help a lot more anyway
 
you don't run memtest in windows. you download the iso then use something like imgburn to burn it to a cd. then you reboot your pc and boot from your optical drive with the memtest cd in. then let it run for a few passes.

you mentioned you've just bought 2gb ram. is this in addition to some ram that you had previously? if so you might need to increase the vdimm voltage a little in the bios. post in the memory section if you need help with that. remember to post as much detail as you can with your specs etc... :)
 
I'm not gonna lie i've had a few beers and just cba talking you through this, do some research mate, its really not that difficult. Where the hell is the minidump anyway? Why do i care, and why would you stupidity wind me up?
