hey. just want to know what the sysdump is and how to avoid it and why it exists. thanks.

a simple way of describing a sys dump is just the game chucking a spac. sysdump is just a generic term that nova uses to describe any problem with
the game that causes it to crash.
most sys dumps are caused by things like the video card getting information it doesn't like and so refusing to do what it's supposed to, so the game
crashes if that makes sense. (it's not limited to video though)
there isn't really any way to prevent sys dumps, as my system which is pretty clean and runs well still gets them every now and then, but the easiest
way to at least limit the amount of sys dumps that u get is to keep ur puter neat and tidy.. have it defraged and scanned regularly, get rid of junk
running that u don't need. and basically just have it with only what u need. running extra stuff just means u r putting more pressure on ur system
which makes it harder on everything, and can causes the sys dumps..
hope this long winded reply helps u and others out 
thanks!
