Hi there my pc would just randomly restart mostly when idle and i would get a memory dump error. How can I fix this ?
 
Solution
can you follow these steps to create a minidump in c/windows/minidump - http://www.thewindowsclub.com/automatic-memory-dump-settings-windows-8
make a copy of that file and save it to documents
upload the copy from documents to a file sharing site and share it here, someone who can read them will help you fix the errors.

can you also download and run who crashed - it will give us a glimpse of the errors you getting and might help us solve them

Copy/paste summary in here and I see what I can do :)

Most recent error was caused by avast so check you have latest version. Also check that you have the latest drivers for motherboard as often virus programs are blamed for lan driver errors. The error blaming ntfs.sys could be caused by sata drivers

If you upload the dump files someone who can read them might get you more direct answers.

12 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. Only 5 are included in this report. 2 third party drivers have been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:

Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.

Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

can you go to c:\Windows\minidump and copy the files there to your documents folder
Upload the copies from my documents to a file sharing web site and share a link here

I will get someone to look at them.

whocrashed is blaming AVG but I would suspect its actually a LAN driver, as 2 Anti virus programs in a row won't cause this error without some pushing.
