This happened twice in the past hour, I quit Kazaa Lite for one reason or another, and my computer pretty much shuts off, giving me a BSOD.

If I see it again, I'll post the numbers, but I remember it saying something like "Beginning Physical Memory Dump"... and then "Physical Memory Dump Complete". Why does this keep happening?

Usually the memory dump occurs when there is a hardware problem or a o/s problem. Check to insure your cpu fan is working as well as the power supply fan. Look for the stop error (Like 0xc000021a or similar) that is displayed when the error occurs.

Usually reason for what you describe, especially backed up by it happening with install, is device driver problems. This could be the wrong driver being selected or hardware not behaving as the driver expects.


Getting the error message will help determine a solution. Post when able, in the meantime, I'll be moving this to Hardware...........................
