    When it says physical memory dumped, is it on a blue screen with white writing? If so there should be a stop code. It will be "STOP:" followed by some numbers and letters. Post up the stop code please.

    It could be either the registry is corrupt or you could have a bad sector on the drive.

    Formatting and re-installing windows should solve the problem but I would use that as a last resort. Try this before attempting a re-install and see how you get on.
