I get this error when I run Win2k SP3/SP4. All of a sudden I get the blue screen of death and it says something like 'Begining dumping of physical memory' or similar. The screen appears just for a second so I cannot read everything. I usually happens a few times a week and the computer just reboots.
This only happens on Win2k. I run Win98/ME/XP on the same computer and and never had this problem.

System specs:
IBM ThinkPad A21m
750MHz
320mb RAM

Does anyone knows what it might be caused by? What the problem is?

;(

TIA

First, go to System Properties (windows+pause)
Find Startup and Recovery
In there, in the system failure section, disable Automatically restart
You will now have the time to see the BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death)
Check if a driver is mentionned

I had enough of Win2k as it started giving me more errors. Changed to WinXP Pro and work like a charm
