Small memory Dump and restart

[Peter]

I have been getting small memory dumps and then a reboot of Windows XP
and it only happens when I am playing a WMV file in Windows Media Player. I
have 1Gb of RAM and an adequate video card and an AMD Athlon XP2800 CPU, and
I don't run a lot of stuff that is any more graphics intensive than the WMP,
ever. My pagefile is set in a 'system managed' mode and I have no idea what
is causing this.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Peter

This won't fix your problem, but it'll keep your machine from rebooting.

Unless the rebooting is caused by a hardware problem.

It may also help reading a BSOD. Blue Screen Of Death.

Choosing recovery actions if Windows stops unexpectedly

Right click My Computer | Properties | Advanced tab |
Click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery |
Under System Failure | UNCheck: Automatically restart |
Click OK | Click Apply | Click OK

Automatically restart
[[Specifies whether Windows will automatically reboot whenever the system
stops unexpectedly.
