I have a friend that tried to print off some documents off the web and his pc dropped into a physical memory dump window looking like the pc had crashed. It said that it was successful at the bottom of the screen. Is this a sign of bad things to come or is this normal to happen. I am familair with normal Chkdumps that are pretty hard to recover from. Is this the same? After rebooting the pc worked fine.

When you get a physical memory dump just reboot twice. Once to clear the error once to clear the memory. Don't worry too much. This is a common error and rebooting twice is the fix microsoft suggests.

Depends on the stop error message at the top of the page. It may be a one off.
Check this and write it down next time it happens (if it happens). The answers to most of the stop messages can be found at microsoft\technet.
hope this helps
