What does this document mean?

(1/3) > >>

Since yesterday my computer has been creating a text document and an MDMP (?) several times throughout the day. It seems to be reporting some kind of error, but I don't understand what it means. Can anyone tell me what this means, if it means I have a  problem, and if I can safely delete these files? I have attached the most recent text document.

J. M. Pescado:
Those files mean nothing and are entirely useless to us. If the crashes occur while the game is already running, your computer is probably overheating.

minonda:
So far my game has not crashed once it gets started. What would be useful to you in understanding why these files are being generated? I tried opening the MDMP and it says I have to find the right program, and of course I have no idea what program I need to open it. Should I attach the MDMP file to see if someone can understand it, or just forget the whole thing? It just seems odd that all of a sudden these files are being created.

CheritaChen:
Did you try googling "mdmp file"?

Yes, the files are safe to delete. Unfortunately, without opening them, if there is no other identifying information, then none of us can tell you which program is creating the files. You probably should figure that out, since their generation means something is crashing, and if you haven't had a problem with TS3 lately, then it's something else on your machine. What else do you have running? What made you think it was related to TS3?

The document I attached in my post was deleted, but as to why I think it's related to TS3 is that it's in the Sims 3 folder in my documents. Also, the document references the game. I was just wondering what it all meant, but from what you say it means something is crashing. Maybe it's counting all the times I have to open the game to get it started. I'll google MDMP and see what that means.
