My computer seems to crash randomly and i dont know why. Everyone says its a power issue so i bought a new Power Cube and it still restarts. So im posting my info here for someone to help me out. Please tell me how to fix this nussance.
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 OEM Year; 2009
Processor: AMD Phenom(tm)II X6 1055t Processor 2.80GHz
No DMPS included in upload try this method
We do need the DMP file as it contains the only record of the sequence of events leading up to the crash, what drivers were loaded, and what was responsible.
If you are overclocking STOP
You may be able to get the DMP files without crashing by booting into safe mode (F8) with networking.
To enable us to assist you with your computer's BSOD symptoms, upload the contents of your "\Windows\Minidump" folder.
The procedure:
* Copy the contents of \Windows\Minidump to another (temporary) location somewhere on your machine.
* Zip up the copy.
* Attach the ZIP archive to your post using the "paperclip" (file attachments) button.
*If the files are too large please upload them to a file sharing service like "Rapidshare" and put a link to them in your reply.
To ensure minidumps are enabled:
* Go to Start, in the Search Box type: sysdm.cpl, press Enter.
* Under the Advanced tab, click on the Startup and Recovery Settings... button.
* Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked.
* Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box (the 256kb varies).
* Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump.
* OK your way out.
* Reboot if changes have been made.
I find nothing in my Mini Dump Folder...
No Kernel Memory Dump files being produced upon BSOD?
For dumps to be produced. . .
▪ Page file must be on OS drive
▪ Page file base allocation size must be > than installed physical RAM
▪ Windows Error Reporting (WER) system service should be set to MANUAL
▪ Set page file to system managed, OS drive
Set System Crash/ Recovery Settings to "Kernel Memory Dump" - this will produce. . .
--> a Full Kernel Memory Dump - c:\windows\memory.dmp
--> a Mini Kernel dump c:\windows\minidump
The Full Kernel is overwritten each BSOD; a new mini kernel dump is created w/ different name for each BSOD
Thanks to jcgriff2
Well i have the settings set to (Mini Dump) But the folder has a lock on it and when i open it there is nothing. I guess im not to computer savy and am missing something.
Plus i dont get BSOD, my computer just restarts. Period.
It goes back to my beginning screen which shows my processor crap. But it says on event viewer Kernal 41 so i was assuming it was the same problem -.-
My comp restarts constantly tho. Whatever the problem is, i need to fix it. So 1st things 1st is finding out how to get my minidumps in order.
