So i bought a computer 4 weeks ago and i started playing gta 4 but i have a problem which is,i get bsod-ed,sometimes it says
Memory Manage
and sometimes it says
irql_not_less_or_equal
or sometimes i get a bluescreen in 1 sec and it quickly restart lol so i cant see the message...
if u want the long 000000 thing i can give it to u,i took a picture in my cell phone..but its charging right now,
Also i've read a certain thread about BSOD,i checked C:\windows\minidump\
there is nothing inside-.-,also i wanna know how do i check my message of bluescreen after getting it?
Also,i used NVIDIA system monitor to check if it is over heat of GPU and CPU,it seems not,
While not playing gta 4, 4 cpu are around 45C
and GPU remains 40C all the time
while playing it goes up to around 55C and 60 sometimes..
Also my configs are

ATM im downloading SP 2 to see if it solves my problem,anyway i would really be thankful to whoever helps me,because i rly wanna fix this problem..thanks

OK something i wanna say also
Bluescreen only happens while playing GTA 4(happened once while im not but only once..)
Also i found a *.dmp file on C:\Windows but its 205MB
and its called memory.DMP is it the one?

the dump file is that large because it is set to entire memory in system control panel. you should go into the system control panel>advanced settings>start up and recovery>change to kernal dump

ken

Ok so i've setted it,also i have a question..
Vista:
Go to Start and type in "sysdm.cpl" (without the quotes) and press Enter
Click on the Advanced tab
Click on the Startup and Recovery Settings button
Ensure that "Automatically restart" is unchecked
Under the Write Debugging Information header select "Small memory dump (64 kB)" in the dropdown box
Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as "%systemroot%\Minidump" (without the quotes)
Click OK twice to exit the dialogs, then reboot for the changes to take effect.

what does that means?it wont restart again?or what?thanks.

and here is the file

im not sure if it is right,the name is memory.dmp
and its in c:\Window
Also,thanks for the help from you two

Duh...i replied and somehow it disappeared...anyway ill type it again
i've setted the thing you asked me to,but i wanna ask,what happen if i uncheck the "auto restart" button?
Also here is the memory.dmp file,im not sure if its the right file as its in c:\window

Im not sure if its the right one as its in C;\Windows

Anyway what happen after i uncheck the "auto restart" button?
Also i know i recieved the message "your post will not be visible until an admin ...."

Edit: sorry for the double post but how do i delete a post?thanks!

It means your pc won't restart when it has a heart attack. What are your system specs? You can use the diag suite in my sig to identify what components you have. Also, what resolution are you gaming at? GTA IV needs a lot of cpu and ram.

Minidumps are technically a summary of a full dump. In other words, the ability to correctly generate an intact full dump is a prerequisite for a minidump.

In situations where you're seeing a memory.dmp being created but not a corresponding minidump, the cause is almost always corruption or truncation of the full dump.

Make sure you're not rebooting the machine prematurely during the BSOD - let it finish when it says it's "dumping physical memory to disk".

Oh,so that is why i dont get any files at minidump.
I tried to wait,it turns from 0 5 15 20 and it stopped...how long does it usally shut off itself??
Also thanks for the help guys!
Btw i play on rly low graphics on gta4, its around 384mb/494mb for my GPU...
And my configs are on first post...

That CPU isn't built for gaming - clocks are a bit low and the gpu will be close to exhausted after a round of GTA IV. Jack up the memory too. You have enough cooling in the case?
