A dump of memory can be useful to someone with advanced tools -- a "post-
mortem debugger" and access to the source code of the crashing software
(Windows itself?).
  The fact that the OS routine that catches the problem is dumping memory
indicates that it's serious, but that's not the part that gives us any clue
about what the problem really is.

  Which Windows version is she running?

It has gotten to the point that she can't even open multiple web pages without it crashing. Any help in what I need to be looking for would be appreciated. Bad power supply, overheating, bad memory/CPU?
