Machine(Windows 7) crashes and restarts without any warning or message prompt. This has occured after the installation of Visual studio 2010. Having multiple instance of Visual studio 2010 IDE open causes this crash.

Do you get a BSOD or what is crashing?"A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Click “Start”, type “%SystemRoot%\Minidump" (without quotation marks) in “Search” bar and press “Enter”. 2. Go to your Desktop, right-click on it and create a new folder named "Dump". 3. Copy all the memory dump files (looks like [Mini092008-01.dmp]) in Minidump to this folder. 4. Right-click on the Dump folder, click "Send To", and click "Compressed (zipped) Folder". 5.
