I am running Windows XP Pro. I was working yesterday and
experienced some
weird behavior.

An Error reporting window appeared and said that Microsoft
Windows had
experienced an error. I reported the error and was taken
to the online
crash analysis website. The OCA website said that the
error was caused by a
device driver. I was ok with that. I havent installed
(or removed) any
hardware in weeks.

A few minutes later this whole thing happened again.

I went to have dinner and came back to my computer showing
a dark blue
screen saying that something was wrong. It said something
to the effect of
(if i remember correctly) "beginning physical memory dump.
error in these
files [files]. if this is not the first time this has
happened do this and
that...otherwise restart". So I restarted. On restart, I
saw the
manufacturers logo (normal) then the screen goes black,
the hard drive light
stays on and nothing happens, except for the odd grinding
sound. However, I
have not been able to ascertain whether this sound is
produced by the
internal speaker or the hard drive.

I appreciate any insight or assistance with this problem.
