It means your OS has a major problem. Could be software, could be hardware...that remains to be seen. In either case it's not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One should not be getting memory dumps during the course of normal operations. This is a significant error and he needs to find out why it's happening. If you are getting these errors all the time then you also want to be looking into the root cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
