i did change the display settings

it used to be big and now i made it smaller? would that have to do with it?

Answer 1

It is 100% not your monitor.  The physical memory dumping message just means that your memory is being saved to the hard drive so it can be analyzed later to figure out what caused the crash.  With the limited information available,  it could indeed be because of the display settings.  Increasing the resolution could put a strain (pushing it over the edge) on your graphics accelerator/ GPU and could also increase the amount of memory used, which would not have been used when using a lower resolution.

I would update the video drivers first, if that does not fix the problem have a tech look at it
