that doesnt really mean much if it happens just once. my dell is a year old and ive seen the blue screen twice just randomly at startup. just restart and it should be perfectly fine. if it consistantly comes up then u need to contact dell, and they'll replace the computer

LesyLuv12,

    Right Click on My Computer, click the Advanced tab, where it says Startup and Recovery: click settings. At the bottom underneath Write debugging information it should say Small Memory Dump (64kb) in the dropdown box. If so click the box and choose (none). Afterwards click OK and OK again. Restart your Dell and everything should be fine.    -Niche25 OUT.

I suddenly started getting this message on my 9100. This was accompanied by various program errors and lockups. The message indicates a memory error. It may be a sporadic issue and of little concern. But it turns out that on my system a memory module had failed. (I was able to test system memory by downloading memtest86 from the web.) Dell is replacing the simm under warranty.

 

Interesting -- after about 1.5 years I started having the same exact problem -- primarilly at boot time -- I thought it was a memory module and replaced both of them.  Still occured -- Recently I updated my NIC drivers to the US version (I have the 1300 MPCI Wireless adapter).  Anyway the past three boot ups have been fine --  I was wondering if it might have had to do with heat build-up or some sort of a failure (My power supply had failed and was replaced under warrenty, the replacement sometimes emits an electrical buzz (in short bursts) making me think I was getting unclean power)

Anyway, maybe it was the NIC drivers? Dunno -- Does anyone from Dell have an answer to this (a known issue with ~1 year old Dell 9100s?)

Thanks
