I concur with Mark Rode on his assessment. I too have never seen memory dump
a machine.

The following may help guide you in your search for the invalid page fault
or BSOD. What OS are you running?

An unexpected event has occurred in Windows. An "invalid page fault" error
message often indicates that a program improperly attempted to use random
access memory (RAM). For example, this error message can occur if a program
or a Windows component reads or writes to a memory location that is not
allocated to it. When this behavior occurs, the program can potentially
overwrite and corrupt other program code in that area of memory.
. A program has requested data that is not currently in virtual memory, and
Windows attempts to retrieve the data from a storage device and load it into
RAM. An "invalid page fault" error message can occur when Windows cannot
locate the data. This behavior often occurs when the virtual memory area
becomes corrupted.
. The virtual memory system has become unstable because of a shortage of
physical memory (RAM).
. The virtual memory system has become unstable because of a shortage of
free disk space.
. The virtual memory area is corrupted by a program.
. A program is attempting to access data that is being modified by another
program that is running.


To resolve this issue, identify when the error message first occurred. Also,
determine if you recently made changes to the computer, for example, you
installed software or changed the hardware configuration.

Use a clean boot troubleshooting procedure to help you identify the cause of
the error message.
