Hi, I have an Inspiron with Vista home premium, I have had this pc for one week exactly and since saturday I have been receiving blue screen errors with the message 'dumping physical memory to disk'. I have been unable to record the stop code as the blue screens are random and my computer restarts before i get the chance to record it completely.

I have checked that my software is up to date using a windows website, can't remember the name but it was suggested to me. The only thing out of date is my java, which is version 5, but I have been informed by my university that this version of java works with vista, and without the program that requires java v. I've also checked the websites for all of my hardware and apparently it is all compatible.

Dell support have got me running diagnostics on the computer, on ram and hard drive. Should I just give up and get a refund? This is the second dell computer i've received within a month that doesn't work correctly. If so, how would I disable it, and who is the manufacturer I should be checking with?

I did a search for 'ati3d2ag. None of them seemed obviously related to drivers or disable-able in any way, but I don't know what I should be looking for. So it is. Golly, I'm sorry. I completely forgot to mention. It's an Inspiron laptop, and it's running Windows XP. It's possible - it first happened while my sister was using the computer, quite a while ago.

If so, should I try to undo whatever changes were made? Message Edited by purrplexed on AM. Browse Community. Windows General. Turn on suggestions.
