What Is A Minidump? Boot-up Message

[Littest]

I am one of those people who enjoy working on my PC, but I'm afraid I
am not all that familiar with the operational details of the inner
workings of it. Thus, if someone could take a moment to respond to
this question, I sure would appreciate it. For the past couple of
days, when I go to boot up my machine, I get an error message: "C:
\WINDOWS \Minidump\Mini101907-01.DMP" -- Is this something serious?
What do I have to do to get rid of it? -- I sure would appreciate any
comments!

What is the Stop Error message?

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure even after you have
solved the problem as it's better disabled. Check for variants of the
Stop Error message.

Hope this helps.
