Physical memory dump

I have a dell m4300 precision with an intermittent physical memory dump problem. It always happens when online and using IE. It was happening with Vista Ultimate then I bought a New SATA drive and installed a fresh copy of 7 Home premium. Still dumping. It will go for a few days sometimes with no problem at all, then sometimes twice a day. I captured the following error code:

0x00000050
0xc50d3e1c
0x00000001
0x82aaa488
0x00000002

With a fresh drive and new OS I imagine its a hardware issue... Any thoughts?

Thanks
Vince

Sorry, This is in the wrong zone. Should not be in Windows 2000. Dont know how to edit the zone!

I note that dell manufactured these as 'Vista capeable' and they had Vista Business edition installed when sold, and this doesn't necessarily translate to Win 7 esp with Dell.
That being said have you tried
sfc /scannow from an elevated cmd prompt:
Start, type cmd in search box, right-click 'CMD' in list and 'run as admin'
in command prompt window type sfc /SCANNOW
when that completes repost if files are intact or corrupt.

RE: 0x00000050
some posts around state this is caused by registry corruption - not too sure about that yet.
RE: 0x00000002
some suggestion this is a printer/device driver issue
have you updated your sata drivers to the latest available from manufacturers website?
As for other error codes - there is nothing posted that I can see on searches.

That was my first assumption as well and I have some new RAM chips on order, should be here in a couple days. I'll update when they get installed

Thanks

Can you, do you have time to run the memory tests or are you wait till the new RAM gets there?

nobus

can you post a couple of the latest dumps here?

The machine is in my home office, I will post as soon as I get home this evening.

Bugcheck 0x50 = invalid memory referenced

RAM definite possibility. Dumps would be helpful.

You mentioned BSODs occur while using IE. Do you have Ethernet or wifi & are both drivers updated?

Just installed new RAM and it seems to be working fine. That was the ticket so far!
