And FWIW, memtest is hardly useless. I have used to find faulty modules on probably 20-30 machines. The machines posted fine and in many cases would run fine until a particular address range was accessed by a particular method. Memtest not only detects the problem, but tells you exactly what area of the RAM is bad. All the machines I have replaced RAM on that memtest said was bad, completely fixed the machine. This is (possibly) only the second time I have seen a bad module that memtest didn't show as being bad.

btw those are still the minidumps compman. it creates the minidump still when it is in kernel dump mode. the actual kernel dump is a file called in C:\windows called Memory.DMP (C:\windows\memory.dmp)

it overwrites that file each time it builds the kernel dump, so you'll only have the most recent one. send that to me

Let me know it is 67MB. I don;t know if your email will support it. I don;t know where I can host it either.

Do you have winrar or some other file splitting utility? If so, split it into <10MB chunks and shoot to gmail address or some other large storage mail account. Gmail allows over 2GB of storage, but still imits each mail to 10MB. If you want, mine is thunder dot pc at gmail dot com
