Re: HELP! Memory Dump! BSOD! Rebooting ALL the time!

I actually read that link before, but I still can't figure out what to do
next. Any more specific details I can follow? Thanks for your help.

My Compaq (XP HOME edition SP2) laptop is suddenly going through this whole physical memory dump complete thing. I turned it off just like normal this afternoon. Then tonight when I turned it on, it got to my desktop, seemed normal for less than 1 min, then went to the blue screen that includes the following technical Information:
STOP: 0x0000008E (0xc0000005, 0x85EE90BD, 0xECF62B4C, 0x00000000)
Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical Memory dump complete
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.
Then it would reboot, do the same thing, over and over again.

So I googled on my husband's computer and learned about the minidump folder thing. Then I went and started my computer in safe mode and found the folder, but I couldn't read the minidump files. So I googled some more and learned about downloading the debugging tools which I did (on my hubby's computer). I transferred the debugging file to my safe mode computer tried to install and it wouldn't let me. SO silly me, I copied the dump files onto my hubby's computer, hoping to read them there. Then I realized that the debugging tools need more than just the dump file to actually read it, and it would require image path, symbols stuff. Well, now I am totally lost. What do I do?

At first, my hubby thought it was probably because he plugged in the webcam thing before my laptop finished starting...some post did say it would cause the BSOD problem, well, we unplugged our webcam and it still wouldn't work.
I read this link http://forums.techguy.org/windows-nt...debugging.html but couldn't really follow... The following link suggested a similar video cam plug issue but I am not good enough to follow what he did to fix...
