There is this blue screen that comes up every so often. It shows a bunch of files and on the bottom it reads that a physical memory dump is going to run. I checked under system prop.-startup/shutdown and here's what it said. Recovery-there was a check in front of Send and adminsitrative alert and also a check mark in front of Write debugging information to %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP. What does all that mean and is there any way for that Blue Screen not to come up??

This means that your OS is crashing and it is normally a good practice to reload the OS to fix the issue. Unless of course you made a change that seems to cooralate to the BSOD in which case you may try and undure this process/change. Items such as driver changes, SCSI terminiation changes, software and hardware installes, etc.

Another consideration. If you have an Iomega zip drive NT was never properly supported and will cause same problem. On one system may be OK on another may be unpredictable. Finally got them to admit it when noted that the DLL on which system was bombing was theirs.

Another consideration is to change the RAM in the PC as this is a common cause - if not the most common cause of repitive blue screens on a PC that boots up OK.

I upgraded the RAM already in the PC. The server doesnt have a zip drive and there are no SCSI drives in the server. The only recent thing we did to it was add a firewall software.
