Recently, I left my laptop (Inspiron 5100, a nortorious model for overheating) turned on doiong absolutely nothing (it was running windows on the desktop) for a long period of time. When I came back it presented me with this scree: [image]www.freewebs.com/mlanet/115_1507.JPG[/image] basically it said "dumped ram for some random reason" after that on startup it checked its hard disk for problems but didn't find any. Now I have hypothesized that this may have been caused by heat, but it wasn't really doing anything and I had it on a book (to let its fan have easy air intake) and I have blown any dust off of it. So Im not sure what really happened. Can any of you guys take a guess at it? Ive got more pics if you want em. ------------------ |

Yeah, might have been the heat. I believe you can take that error code and check it against a list of them, to see what the cause is. ------------------ |

Probably the heat and Windows. My mom's toshiba runs XP Pro and crashes whenever the battery kicks in (such as during power outages or accidentally being unplugged). ------------------ |

Strange, well it probably was the heat; kinda sad how a few hours of Desktop rendering could do that =D ------------------ |
