my computer did that. I ignored it, but after about 5-7 times of it popping up randomly... one day it just stayed blue and my HD crashed... sad
My advice is to go to My CPU and see how much GB your cpu can hold and how much you have. If it's doing that you're probably near the max...

The error? There are about 500,000,000,000+ blue screens... And about 75% of them have the word memory in them...
Get some more ram. That's the best start without losing any (important) files... If that doesn't work, contact me... I'll provide "more direct" support.
Dumping memory is usually associated with the abstructure of RAM. NOT about the hard drive... I'm REALLY sick of people answering questions they have absolutely NO knowledge in...
Also, the blue screen is not a bad thing... It protects your computer from being damaged from hardware malfunctions, corrupt, and missing file errors, and more... So, when Apple says that it doesn't have one, ask yourself, "Then what tha' heck do they do to protect my computer" because they do nothing at all... Mac is the ONLY major O.S. with no protection from missing/corrupt files and invalid file structures... I know, this is off topic, but it is relavent to the above answer...

Check your computer memory for any errors. Checking memory has always been difficult. Most computer repair shops simply swap out suspect memory with one they know is good. Microsoft has come up with a software program that will check your computer’s memory. Download it; you can install it on a CD or floppy. It is free at: http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
You can also test your memory free by downloading and installing DocMemory. The program will capture all possible memory failures in your PC.

When replacing memory, be sure to check your computer’s manual on the specifications for memory. The type and speed of the memory depends on the motherboard. If you can’t find the information in your computer’s manual, check one of the companies that sells memory online—they have memory listings for almost any computer. Three sited to try are:
Crucial Technology http://www.crucial.com
Kingston Technology http://www.kingston.com
PNY Technologies http://www.pny.com/configurator/

either your hard drive is maxed or you have no ram. start deleting things from your hard drive. if that doesn't work- go to a store and guy more ram and install it.
