Memory Problem

I've had my computer for a year and everything has gone pretty well. There is a problem though, it usually happens while I'm using the program Vegas Video 5.0. I have 1GB of RAM (2 512MB sticks), and I believe that is plenty to be able to render a video and talk on Ventrilo (a voice comm. program) at the same time, but my computer believes otherwise. Whenever I try to do this my computer will get a blue screen talking about a "memory dump error" or something like that, then I have to restart my computer and everything is back to normal. This doesn't only happen with these 2 programs, it sometimes happens when I try to open 3+ programs at the same time (ex: talking on AIM, having mIRC open, talking on vent, and then opening up a video file at the same time). I'm pretty sure that my RAM could be corrupt or something, and I was wondering what you guys thought or how you think I could fix it? Thnx
 
Your need to right down the file it is complaining about, and the codes after it. If you look that up on Google, it will tell you what the problem is. Also, you can check your event logs as well to see what application, service, or driver caused the crash.
 
Alright thanks, next time it happens I will write down what it says. But how do I check my even logs? Thnx for the quick response :)
 
Assuming you have 2000 or XP, you would go into the Management Console, and look at the three logs listed under Event Viewer.
 
....run Memtest86+ overnight with all tests enabled, and my hunch is that you can tell us what the problem was.... :cool:

Good Luck - B.B.S.
