Create a memory dump file

Any failure to read inaccessable memory results in termination of the minidump generation. Adds full memory data to the minidump. All accessible committed pages owned by the target application will be included. Adds all basic memory information to the minidump. This adds a stream to the minidump that contains all basic memory information, not just information about valid memory.

This allows the debugger to reconstruct the complete virtual memory layout of the process when the minidump is being debugged.

Adds unloaded module information to the minidump. This is available only in Windows Server and later versions of Windows. Adds additional thread information to the minidump. This includes thread times, which can be displayed by using the! Adds secondary memory to the minidump.

Secondary memory is any memory referenced by a pointer on the stack or backing store, plus a small region surrounding this address. This can be useful if you need access to Windows system information regarding the application's processes and threads.

Deletes from the minidump those portions of the stack and store memory that are not useful for recreating the stack trace. Local variables and other data type values are deleted as well. This option does not make the minidump smaller because these memory sections are simply zeroed , but it is useful if you want to protect the privacy of other applications. Deletes the full module paths from the minidump.

Only the module names will be included. On some computers, you cannot use keyboard to generate a crash dump file. A keyboard is not attached to the HP BladeSystem server. In these cases, you must generate a complete crash dump file or a kernel crash dump file by using the Non-Maskable Interrupt NMI switch that causes an NMI on the system processor. Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, back up the registry for restoration in case problems occur.

This registry key is not required for clients running Windows 8 and later, or servers running Windows Server and later. Setting this registry key on later versions of Windows has no effect. In the Value data box, type 1 , and then select OK. You should disable this feature during troubleshooting.

For the exact steps, contact your hardware vendor. Test this method on the server by using the NMI switch to generate a dump file.

You will see a STOP 0x hardware malfunction. Forcing a System Crash from the Keyboard. Forcing a System Crash from the Debugger. Skip to main content. This browser is no longer supported.
