OK, so when attaching that file, at that point you should have a Choose file dialogue window open. On the left of that window, you will see My Recent Documents, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer and My Network Places? If not, what do you see?

Alright so I know that I go on My Computer then Windows Then where?

madmonkey

The first part of the instructions ask you to check your event log, which will give you the following:

Event ID: 1001
Source: Save Dump
Description:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck.The bugcheck was ?
...A dump was saved in:....... < where? Normally the next folder is minidump, but this will also give you the exact name of the file too.

Alexsad

I have no files under the source Save Dump.

And the temp thing never opens, my pop-ups are not blocked.

I also keep getting a message when my PC starts up.

madmonkey

err, ok.

When you went to attach the file in an earlier thread, could you see any files at all in the "c:\windows\minidump" folder?

Also, another option is to open up another explorer window, and actually type the following address into the address bar: http://www.almico.com/speedfan434.exe

I think you are actually going to need to re-install Windows after all at some point, after your hardware issues have been resolved. I'm not sure if your responses so far have been as result of not being able to follow my instructions (as it did take till post #24 before you told me that you could not find anything under source "Save Dump"), or if your Windows problems are really that extreeme, it's hard to tell without actually being there at your side.

I have the Fanspeed thing (searched Fanspeed mirror on google

)

Did I upload the right "Minidump" thing?

madmonkey

lol, yes Alex thank's for that. That was the correct one, but unfortunately.... the data it contains is corrupt. But, despite not being able to analyse the log, it does prove one thing, and that your data is being corrupted. This means that the problem is either a failing HDD or bad memory. I am leaning towards bad memory (I was hoping to narrow it down between the two from the log).

Do you have a floppy drive with a spare floppy disk, or a CD-Writer with Nero installed?

I actually have both installed. I tried playing COD4 on my PC again so as usual I put CA Anti-Virus on snooze and turned it on, after a bit my PC crashed. I took some pictures.
