I know a lot of people have constant reboot problems...

And I just joined them. My system was perfectly fine until a couple weeks ago and since then it has been rebooting by itself... I checked the event viewer, and saw that it's one of those famous physical memory dumps. For example here is the one that happened 5 mins ago:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 (0x00000009, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000009). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini101203-01.dmp.

I am not really familiar with memory dumps and everything but what good is the file in C:\Windows\Minidump\ ?

I tried running memtest86 but I am a little confused. I created a bootable cd, since I dont have a floppy drive (never need it). Well it boots from the cd and after that it really gets confusing, what am i supposed to do when I get to <DR-DOS> <A:\> ??? no exes to run so what should i do? i tried going over memtest86 homepage but that didnt help.

So any ideas? Any suggestions? Any help running memtest?

Thanks,

Xiety

Type the letter of the CDRom drive (A:\ is not an option, more likely D, E, F, R, etc..),
then type memtest86
