Hi,
This a reporting tool or a memory dump for a program calling the RAM or
memory failed, resulting in the Savedump.exe to be created which I think is
corrupted as not been written to a log and saved in the directory or logged
in the Event Viewer!.
Make sure this machine is Virus free by scanning, also is there is any new
Software/Hardware newly installed?.
Open a run command and type in:
sfc /scannow click [OK]

3... You may have a bad RAM try to test your RAM by running Memory test by
downloading this tool and unzip it and make a floppy or CD/DVD and run it on
Reboot.

You may need to reposition/reset the RAM sticks in their slots.
Have a look in the Event Viewer for error messages(X) that can shed some
light and post it back in your next post by performing the following and also
the System File Checker (SFC) sfc /scannow:
Open a Notepad, customize or minimize to the taskbar as you will need it
later for this step to copy the error message on it.
Open a run command and type in:
eventvwr.msc click [OK] you will get the Event viewer control Panel.
click on each of these:
Application
System
Security
Look in the right Pane/window for error message with red (X) or Yellow
exclamation mark /!\ , double click each one to get more info about the
causer.
On the Event error properties message you will see:
Up Arrow
Down arrow
Two pages
Click on the two pages to copy the error message then bring up the Notepad
you opened earlier and right click on the first line and select Paste from
the list, this will paste the error message on a Notepad.
Please don't duplicate the error message one of each kind will be sufficient.

Thank you for this information but i noticed that my memory is not bad, and
the other problem is, that I'm able to change the ram because it's a notebook
where I'm working. The System File Checker said nothing too. Are there any
other ways to solve this problem?
 
Martin,
You can open the Dump file and try to read it to see what the contents
inside, it may give us a clue on what the dump contain.
Also the event Viewer is your best assistant in knowing who is in trouble
and causing trouble?.
HTH.

Thank you for the answer. I've the little problem, that in the event viewer
does not say anything about the error. The funny thing is, that two hours
ago, I started my Notebook again, and there was nothing to read about the
error, I think that the scan which you told me is the reason why the message
is away. Thank you.
