[Help] refomatted/reinstalled os - now getting error

[tb582]

Hi guys, I reformatted a friends computer and now it blue screens, perhaps someone can analyze the crash dump file?

The only thing that has changed is I installed a PCI 3 port USB 2.0 card.

Can't see anything from the dump - it's complaining that the paging file is either not on C, or not at least RAM+50MB. Get a complete memory dump with the paging file on C and at least as large as RAM+50MB, and upload it (if you don't remember the FTP, let me know).

Hey thanks for replying, I'm actually not at home so I don't have the ftp info. I increased the paging file size about 20 min ago, I think that might have been the problem. I'm just now waiting to see if it happens again.

It could be - there were messages in the dump about the lack of a paging file, so if you were running out of physical RAM to hold virtual address space, this would be the symptoms.

Yup, it seems that the paging file was the problem, as the error has yet to happen again.
