RAM Problem I guess.

Well, I am posting on behalf of my friend.....

Well since recently, whenever he reinstalls his his OS, (Windows XP or 7) after a few minutes, hours or days his display turns upside down....

If he restarts his PC, then he get a message saying:

"Windows has recovered from a serious error"
and the files which were recovered are:
"mini051711-01.dmp"
and
"sysdata.xml"

And then some time later his OS stops working and he has to reinstall again....
(He's stuck in a infinity loop :O

)

I looked over the internet and it seems to be a RAM problem, just want to confirm with the tech guys in here....

Need to format Windows every few minutes or hours.......

Grab any linux live distro. (puppy- 125mb) . Boot from it. you will be able to access the minidumps.
Also if the system runs properly in linux, then we will know that its a windows/driver problem. If it doesn't work , then we will know that its a hardware problem.
