game freezing

sometimes when im playing some computer games, my computer freezes in the middle of playing it.

do i need to update my ram

and some times a blue screen pops up and says its dumping physical memory

Probably your graphics card and or drivers.


To get detailed errors:


Go to start | search (type in) .dmp
Note the location of your .dmp files.
Remember this location and the path that leads to it.

Then:

1) Download and install the
Debugging Tools from Microsoft

All you need do is download and install this. Make no attempt to start or run it.

2) Download and install this
debugwiz

This is a DOS based batch file that will command the above Microsoft Tools.

3) Open the Wiz & Browse to, or paste in the path to, your .dmp file.

4) After the Wiz creates a Text document attach it back to this thread.
