Windows has recovered from a serious error...

[Pillager]

C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini051803-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\PILLAGER~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml

This was the message I've just received after my computer automatically restarted with no warning.

The first file contains PAGE all over the shop. Is this some sort of page dump thingy? Or something?

That has happened on one of my computers as well. It uses Windows XP Pro, and sometimes restarts itself for some unknown reason.

try this:

and if that doesn't do it, delete the Minidump files and reset the Pagefile.sys. file

I had same problem on mine.I have winxp home.
I get cause as device driver so now I am going to nvidia website to d/l latest driver.I'm praying that it will fix my problem.
when you get error message when it reboots,do you send report to microsoft.
does it say it was caused by a device driver or anything else other than the 2 files you lsted?

XPPro(at least, it's what I use at home) has a real problem with the Nvida driver. My not-crashing-anymore computer started crashing a lot because of the nvida driver. Glad they got it fixed.

This report is designed to be looked at someone who knows what's going on with the OS and determine what the problem is. It might be the same report that gets sent to Microsoft when they request you send them a report on why it crashed.

And yes, it is a page dump thingy.
