Crash dump initialization failed! EventID 46

I have been getting this error message in my Event Viewer log ever since.I have even reinstalled my OS (Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64),and the issue came at the very beginning.

Interestingly,almost everyone here reports this error with BSOD cases,but not on my machine.

I can't figure out whats causing this,if there is a specific program or faulty piece of hardver.

What comes on my mind is the fact that I have dual boot,with Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 as primary system,and Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64 installed afterwards.

The only change I've made on Windows XP is,to "make it blind" for Windows 7 Ultimate,in order to enable recording System Restore points on my Win 7 system,using a .reg file,which is accompanied with this post.

I hope someone has the answer,since I've been roaming the internet for several months,but no good.

Looking forward.

Where is the page file located?

Where is the page file located?

Pagefile.sys is on the same partition where I installed Windows 7 Ultimate SP1,and it weights 1.99 GB.

One thing of note. You are at the absolute minimum RAM for 64bit.

Your page file doesnt have enough room to write 2 gigs of ram to it.

Thx for fast reply.I know im "on the edge",and about to extend RAM to at least 4 GB in a couple of days.

I will surely post here afterwards.

Thx,Mario.

OK,its been a long time since last post in this thread.

Upgraded my hardware.Problem in Event Viewer disappeared-never appeared :)

If anyone remembers...

Thx zigzag3143.

l am new at this & am not looking to post anything. I have exactly same issue & just want to read about this issue & what's going on. Am I in the correct location to do that? If not, please advise as I am new to all this (I'm 67). If I feel need to post anything, I'll study further. Thx - Hank
