Good People,
Am in a learning and testing phase and need to be able to easily and quickly force a crash. More specifically I need a minidump file from my computer.
All of these people getting unwanted crashes and I want to crash.
Thanks, Karl
um...first thing I can think of would be end task on critical system stuff, maybe lsass or an scvhost, but I dont want you to brick your computer.... lol living on the edge huh?
Beat me to another post john lol I like your suggestion better than mine
Will be trying the end critical task approach here in a second and why?
1. No scroll lock key on my keyboard and recommendation required
- Editing registry--did that and checked carefully twice
- holding down right ctrl key and tapping on Scroll Lock twice.
tried using the on-screen keyboard and still no go.
OK chaps,
I need help big time.
First, as i posted before the Ctrl plus twice scroll lock doesn't work for me.
I tried ending process for isass- no success.
I tried ending process for only the lord knows how many svchost processes - no success.
My actions would sometimes result in the system rebooting but not blue screen and no minidump file.
Would one of you, without a scroll lock key on your keyboard, try to force a BSOD?
Here's all of these good people with umpteen blue screens and I can't even get one!
Guess I would have other options if I was using a desktop but I'm using my toshiba satellite laptop.
Thanks,
Karl
Been there, Done that.
Notice that the procedure requires a scroll lock key.
I tried using osk (the on screen keyboard). I tried using Pause/Break.
And yes, I edited the registry and must have checked what I added about 5 times and I've edited the registry numerous times, ever since Win 95 days.
Update: At least when I rt-click on a process in Task Manager, one of the options iis "Create dump file" which I'm using for now. The dump file is placed in %Temp%
