I was wondering what it means when the screen goes blue and
Xp says it's dumping physical memory..
 
Usually this occurs where there is a system hang, for
whatever reason [this is more commonly referred to as a
BSOD-Blue Screen of Death]. Depending on the Error
message given can depend on what the cause is. The
dumping of physical memory is the RAM being loaded into a
dump file on the hard drive, basically it's collecting
data about the events/files etc that were in use leading
up to the system hang.
