I just installed windows xp and I am experiencing the blue screen of death. My machine freezes and then I get a blue screen of death saying something about Physical Memory Run. Is XP unstable or it something else?
2.16 MBP with 1gb of memory. Formatted the Windows partition FAT32.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, mike

BSDs are caused by a number of things. Hardware and software issues are both suspects-what does the dump say at the begining, before the "Dump of physical memory" part? It should give you some sort of error code.
Of course if you JUST installed Windows, it might be more efficient to reinstall, maybe even from scratch. As in using the Disk Utility to delete the Windows partition and rerunning Boot Camp. I'd do this-it doesn't take that long to install Windows.

ghporter,
I did a wipe and reinstall of the windows xp partition. The physical memory dump screen happens so fast that the screen blinked for a sec. Should I do another install. I did a long FAT32 install versus the quick version. Will formatting it NTSF prevent this?
I noticed that the blue screen of death occurs when I use firefox or multiple apps. It would freeze, keyboard lockup, and then the blue screen of death. I don't know how to troubleshoot this issue. Any other suggestions?

Sounds like a memory issue. Have you changed any of your RAM-upgraded it-recently? Is it a BRAND NEW computer? I'd see what OS X does when you load the memory with a bunch of programs too-if it does the same sort of thing (kernel panics) then it would point to a hardware, probably RAM, problem.

Was using firefox when the machine went crazy and gave me the blue screen of death again. This is a new machine with apple manufacturer RAM installed.
