Hi,
Info on dumprep:
This is loaded at startup if you had a crash and want to send a report to
Microsoft. It should be gone the next time you boot. It uses the "Runonce"
line in the registry.

As for the rest of your post, did you mean 'serious errors'? If so:
Use one of these three options.
Right Click the My Computer Icon/Properties/Advanced/
Performance/Settings/Advanced/Change.
1. Set Page File to 0, ok your way out and reboot. Then follow the same
procedure and reset the Page File to System Managed File.
2. No Page File. Reboot. Then delete C:\Pagefile.Sys then revert the page
file setting.
3. Set the swap file size to zero, reboot. Re-set to System Managed,
reboot. Reset the Custom setting, reboot.
