even i had the same problem . but my problem was due to a faulty motherboard . in your case the RAM could be the culprit . try scrubing you r ram module . or try using another ram module .

no

The memory dump error usuallu occurs when some new software or driver is installed that is causing the problem!
In ur case the problem started after the install of the nvidia nforce driver..so uninstall it!

As for dvd writer its not cozing problem!

Microsoft says this

Take your pick.

Why do you want to delete page file? Do you have intentions of not using the comp again? Just joking
