The Physical Memory Dump error is a very annoying error which can cause you to lose your work and unsaved games. It’s famed for appearing at the worst possible times and just stopping everything you are doing to bring up the “blue screen of death”. Fortunately, it’s actually quite easy to fix and is generally a software issue inside Windows.

The Physical Memory Dump error is where your system cannot process the commands you give it, leading it to stop working and “dump” its memory into a file on your hard drive. This process is caused when your system reaches a ‘dead end’ and cannot function properly any more, forcing Windows to start over again by restarting your system. This error is caused by two distinct problems which be easily fixed.

The main cause of this error is to do with the hardware of your system. If you have recently installed some new hardware or components to your PC, then you should seriously consider reverting back to your old equipment, as the error you are seeing is probably a hardware compatibility issue. If Windows cannot operate with two conflicting pieces of hardware, it has to stop working and just proceeds to go to the Physical Memory Dump screen. To fix this, try removing any new hardware you’ve just added.

The secondary cause of this issue is to do with the software of your system. Because Windows and its software are highly complicated, the slightest issue can cause your system to not be able to read the software, leading it to show the Physical Memory Dump error. A common cause of this issue is to have a single program which doesn’t work too well, and on our test PC, it was always Adobe Photoshop that caused the problem. If you find that it’s caused by a particular program, try reinstalling that program to see if that is the issue.

The third cause of the Physical Memory dump error is a part of Windows called the ‘registry’. This is a database which stores all the settings and information for Windows… and is actually prone to becoming corrupt and damaged. This means that whenever you use your computer, if the damaged registry files are trying to be accessed but they are unreadable, Windows ends up just running slowly and with lots of errors. If it gets to the point where it can’t read a number of these files, it will have no choice but to just stop working and bring up the physical memory dump error. To fix this problem it’s highly recommended you download a registry cleaner and let it fix all the problems that might be inside the registry of your PC. These tools are automated and are incredibly easy to use.
