physical memory dumping

[Guest]

This is insane - I have reviewed hundreds of similar posts in other MS areas, compaq, dell and more - and all to no avail. I repair computers on the side and now have 5 XP computers with the system crash to blue screen to physical dumping. There is no solid indication on any of them the cause. Several report 0x8,0x7... codes, several list tcpip code errors, several list faults with the 0x74 to 0x76 (BIOS ERROR CODES) and so on. This does not seem to be a specific problem. This seems to be a generic win XP problem. None of these people can afford to reinstall and start over - yet. The administrator console is reporting errors with COM+ services, NETDDE services, SAVRTPEL files, IPSEC, RPC and so on. I have tried to resolve these errors one at a time. I have downloaded updates, tweaked system registries and tested RAM chips, HDs and so on. I cannot be more specific than listing everything per each computer, but I only want to get into that when I am with someone that can show me it is a specific type of problem. What is causing this Physical Memory Dump? I had no coverage in that during the MCSE beyond Swap File Sizes, Handle Files and so on, but for Win 98. I am at a REAL loss. Please, please and --please! Does anyone have a fairly simple answer? Can I tweak and cheat the Memory Paging files to somehow make the computer think it has enough mem without causing damage? And, how? Is this an ongoing problem that MS is working on? I am too unfamiliar with XP to assist these folks (and now myself) any farther. There is no other tech support in the area that has even the remotest level of knowledge in this area (shy 1 and they are hiding from this). I have recommended they keep reporting whatever problems they have back to MS. None of them seem to have too much on their machines that would cause this. Additionally, the Task Manager is loading a tremendous amount of services: SVHOST (3 or 4 times), CRSS, MDM, SNMP, TCPSVCS - I know what these do because of the MCSE courses, but I am not able to track any consistency in these files loading. There are random functions causing the shutdown: Burning to CD-ROM, playing a 3rd party software game, using internet explorer, startup, DVD viewing and so on. If any of that helps at all. THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH. If I need to provide details, please email me and let me know and I will provide you with the compiled list of ongoing problems through Event Viewer and during shutdown sequences.

Open Control Panel - System - Advanced and click on the Settings
button in the Startup and Recovery (bottom) section.

In the Startup and Recovery section click on the checkbox for
"automatically restart" to clear it if that is selected. Also change
the memory dump option to either "none" or "small memory dump (64KB)"
depending on which you prefer. The small memory dump is useful for
submitting error reports to Microsoft.

The contents of the "Blue Screen Of Death" STOP error messages are
essential clues to the cause of a problem. Post the contents of the
STOP messages, including all of the parameters, back here or you can
research them at MVP Jim Eshelman's STOP errors page at
http://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm

Good luck
