Have seen this same sort of thing caused by a bad stick of RAM .

That would be far cheaper to fix. How do I track it down?

Yes, a man just asked for directions.
C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP
[In the Windows main directory - probably ] Open it with Notepad. It may take a while to load. If it's not too big, mail a copy to me.

I imagine said computer might suffer this fate by the weekend if it doesn't get straightened out.

When I try to open it, I get "Access Denied".
Yes, I run the PC as an admin.
BTW, the file is 800MB

Apparently it crashed while I was in Austin over the last few days, but the DIL restarted without copying the error message.

Oh, yeah. The audio keeps going out. It resumes working again upon restart.
RE: LesStrat's Computer Saga: Episode 4378 - GoldenVulture - 11-11-2015
Right. Look here C:\Windows\Minidump.
The files in there should be small enough to send.
If you want to view them yourself try using this.

Flaky driver, but may just be a symptom of some other problem [ most likely memory related ].
