RE: Windows error

Whenever I play game or open a website (it may be a certain amount of time
before it happens though), I would get a flash of the blue screen and my
computer would shut down. When it boots up again, I get a error message from
Windows and it's always 2 files that is causing the trouble. I tried deleting
it many times but it always pops up. One of them is from a folder in
C:\WINDOWS\Minidump and the other is called sysdata. I'm using Windows XP
Home Edition. I just re formated my computer. But the problem persisted.

Note: in some cases user said we just deleted the log and perform a Dusk
Cleanup, all is fine after Reboot.

Try system Restore to when things were working okay, if not read this link:
