Your Windows XP computer displays a memory dump error. Which of the following would contribute to the physical memory dump error?
  1. When the computer detects a condition from which it cannot recover.
  2. When a device driver problem occurs.
  3. When a user logs off incorrectly.
  4. When there is a problem with the system RAM.
Explanation
Answer - A - The computer displays a memory dump error when it detects a condition that it cannot recover from.

Key Takeaway: A fatal error in a program automatically triggers a memory dump error. When the computer performs a “physical memory dump,” it takes all the stored parts of the working memory and puts them onto your hard drive and restarts the computer. The next time Windows loads, the files are wiped and all working memory data is lost.
