After I changed the mother board etc on my computer I did a repair set up of
XP which seemed to work OK except that at one stage (nothing particular
happening) the screen went blue due to a stop situation and then a message
appeared:

Beginning dump of physical memory

Dumping physical memory to disc

Followed by a count down to about 100 and then the computer rebooted and
everything was OK.

An error message was sent to Microsoft which said something about a paging
error in a non paging area and suggested an updated graphics driver. As the
driver was the latest NVidia driver I am somewhat perplexed as to what
actually happened. Any suggestions please?

Cheers

Click to expand...

Right-click on My Computer and select Manage.
Expand the Event Viewer category (click on the + sign) and browse
through the System and Application categories for error events which
correspond to the date and time of your problem. The memory dump will
be listed as one of the events. Double click on an event record to
see the details of that event.

You are looking for an error record that contains a STOP code,
probably a STOP 0x00000050 PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA from the
information you provided. It may also be referred to as a BUGCHECK
0x00000050 or 0x10000050.

For more detailed information about this error see MVP Jim Eshelman's
web page for STOP errors at http://www.aumha.org/win5/kbestop.htm and
click on the "50: Page Fault...." link in the left side column.

If this was a one time random event then it may be best just to
attribute it to an "electronic gremlin" and leave it at that. However
if it recurs or if there are other continuing problems then further
detailed investigation is definitely in order.

Good luck
