Dumping Physical Memory: Need Help ASAP

ConnerB14

Alright, so recently I upgraded my 4 year old PC (2011) with a new GTX 750 TI Graphics card, A new Power Supply, a CPU Cooler, and had my PC overclocked. All of the dust is cleaned out, and thermal paste is on the overclocked part. It was a good upgrade, Im running GTA 5 PC on 60FPS on normal graphic settings. But, every now and then i'll get the dumping physical memory screen. I know its not the PC overheating, since im running at 50 Degrees celsius on GTA 5. Any idea what the problem could be? Considering the Ram Sticks, Motherboard, and processor are all 4 years+ old should i just get a replacement for some parts?

 

Its also worth adding that i even got the blue screen while watching youtube videos.

 

Thanks for the help.

@ConnerB14 Probably the overclock on the CPU.  Slow it down or disable it temporarily (and deal with lower framerate) to test.

Yeah, Im probably just going to get a new processor overall and see if that works. If not, any other idea of what it might be? Maybe bad memory? (ram sticks)

What are the full specs? Also follow your topic so we don't have to quote you.

It doesn't sound like any of the traditional fixes are getting it.

to recap: you have an adequate power supply, you aren't having any severe overheating issues, and you've dusted the components.

 

You could try to reset your page file. Sometimes a corruption there can lead to the physical memory dumps. Creating a new one removes the old and you are set with a blank slate.

 

If that doesn't work then I would try changing your RAM configuration all together with new sticks. If you have a buddy, grab his for a while and test it out.

 

If that fails then it could be an issue with your hard disk.

 

It sounds dumb, but have you tried an antiviral scan? That can sometimes be the cause.
