You're going to have to provide a lot more info for this one. A dump occurs when a serious error occurs, and is meant to preserve the state of your machine at the moment of failure for Microsoft to review. As a start, though, check the Event Log via Event Viewer in Control Panel/Administrative tools. This will at least provide some clues as to which service or application is causing the fault, narrowing your search quite a bit. Once in a great while it may also give you an error descriptionthat actually means something! Good Luck, and be sure to add anything new you learn this way to your posting.
