I received a message that 'physical dump complete'. I have no idea what this
means. I am unable to use my USB drive due to this problem. I read to
update my driver card or something like that, but I have no clue on how to do
that. I am not exactly computer savvy, so I have no idea how to fix this
problem.

I suspect that there may have been more information than what you have
quoted on the error message screen. If so then the balance of that
content would be useful.

It sounds as though your computer has encountered a "system failure"
class error condition as producing a memory dump is part of the
default actions that are taken in these situations. The contents of
the memory dump may be of some value to a systems programmer for
detailed analysis of exactly what cause the error.

What happens if you restart the computer? Does the same error happen
again?

If so, does it happen during the startup process or only after you
have been using the computer for a time?

The more detailed information and descriptions you can provide us with
regarding this error the better the chances are that a solution will
be found.

Good luck

It only occurs when I have been using the computer. The length of time
varies. However, when I put my USB drive into the port the message appears.
My one friend told me that it could possibly be from downloading something
recently because of the message (he got it before but was unable to help me).
Thank you very much for your help!
