Physical memory dump
I have an Inspiron 5000e, 20 G Hard drive, 324 MB RAM, Windows XP pro.
I just recently did a clean installation of XP.
I also run Microsoft Live Onecare.
What would cause a blue screen to suddenly appear with "beginning physical memory" at the end?
Everything seems to check out OK...no virus, etc.
Thanks!
- Rolf, close, but no cigar. I did download from the Inspiron section of the Dell Drivers website...I did not try to install the older version for Win 2000. The new version gave me error messages when I tried to adjuct the color settings. So, I guess I am stuck with a generic driver.

Hmmmmmmm....Have you tried to download all the other drivers??? Especially the chipset drivers???- Can I use the original video driver that came with the computer? It has no provision for WinXP...only 2000, and warns that the system might have problems if it is installed. I used the driver from the Dell website, and it is a newer version of the ATI driver.

The chipsetdriver is a driver that makes your units in the motherboard work well together, not quite correct, it is the chipset itself that does this, but the drivers makes it work right.
Download the network drivers too!rolfmagnus

Often it is hardware drivers....se if you have all the latest drivers for your computer on the Dell download center...often it is the videocard-driver that fails.rolfmagnus

I think this is the problem!
In downloading drivers from Dell, select that you want drivers for Win XP, this is important.
My answer is that you should not(!!!) use the drivers that came orginal with your PC, which are designed for win 2000.
Download new ones for XP!
;)
Good luck!
