The other day I made the Recovery Discs and going to try a different recovery that's more in depth.  I notice something though. The other times I got BSOD, the bottom would say "dumping physical memory". This time is said "preparing for crash dumping". Since then, my Spam box in my e-mail has been getting tons of spam mail. I don't know if the spam mail is related to that, but I found it kinda odd for it to happen the same time the screen showed up.

Wipe everything, reinstall your OS and if it happens again, then its a hardware issue.   Although you may have gotten the virus from something in your spam mail, it has absolutely no connection with whats happening now. it's been shipped to sony soldierofjustice3 Posted at 7:24 am on Nov. 24, 2008 Its probably OS related since you have not yet done a hard reformat.

Wii Tard Posted at 7:29 am on Nov. 14, 2008 It did havea virus on it.  I had AVG and Spybot on here and i was still getting the screen.  But I'm just wondering why this time it said "preparing for crash dumping" Teenie1 Posted at 7:12 am on Nov. 14, 2008 Reformat.
