No dmp file created when crashing ???

[teddybearirl]

I have been having random freezes for a year + now ( random freeze where only could reset ) and friend asked me to set advanced start up and recovery settings to create a small memory dump file which I could then email him or send via some messenger program.
My problem is ... it doesn't create any file in minidump folder at all , nothing after each crash.
Can anyone help me ???
Thanks in advance.

Hello...

   Information

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.

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.

Hello there.
That is my point ... There are 3 old minidump files in that folder ... But no new one is being created every crash ( which can happen 3 times within 24 hours or take up to 6 days at a time ) despite options being set properly in start up and recovery settings options ....

Do you have CCleaner installed on your computer?

 

[teddybearirl]

No.

 

[DeanP]

Can you check in C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System32 folder??? (Sometimes, they may be named as MEMORY.DMP)

 

[teddybearirl]

Don't have any mini dump files in those folders ...
There is a memory.dmp file but it's a 367 megas file lol !!!! One year and half of issues haha

 

[teddybearirl]

There are 3 older mini dump files in minidump ( from 2009 and 2010 though ) so I know it should create them.

 

[teddybearirl]

Btw I'm getting hard lock up aka freezes where I can only reset or turn off the computer so no real BSOD's if it help any.

 

[teddybearirl]

Any help ??? !!!! Be appreciated !!!

Please read this info...

   Information

If just a freeze and reboot look in event viewer (type eventvwr in search) go to the windows log>application tab
Check for critical errors (they have red in the left column) that say app crash, app hang, or anything relating to the problem.
When you find them please note the event ID and source code and tell us what they are.

 

[teddybearirl]

It is always event 41 , kernel-power.
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first.This error could be caused if the system stopped responding , crashed , or lost power unexpectedly ....
I mean no joke I did reset power it since it just freezes and no answer from mouse / keyboard.

Could you copy all codes and information from Event viewer to here?

 

[teddybearirl]

I have had this comp for one year and half and the best it has run for is 9 days without any freeze but average is more about 2 days lol.
I have 7918 events in custom views > administrative events ( aka errors / warnings ) and it went down from almost 10 k errors lol.
I have fixed most the issues I had though and it's down to that event 41 , event 14 dns client events ( name resolution for the name blahblahblah.com timed out after none of the configured DNS server responded ) and event 30013 SharedAccess_NAT ( The DHCPallocator has disabled itself on ip address blahblahblah , since the IP address is outside the blahblahblah scope from which addresses are being allocated to DHCP clients )
The 2 last ones are supposed to be some connectivity issue with my router ???? But shouldn't hard lock me or could it ???
Also my issues can't be coming from overheating seeing my cpu ( duo core E8500 ) never goes above 60 celsius nor do any of my other components. ( gpu to 56 ish celsius for memory as highest , mcp at 59 celsius , spp around 53 celsius and so on )

 

[teddybearirl]

O yeah sometimes I have the event 1101 , eventlog ( audit has been dropped by the transport. 0 ) but it's not before / after every crash so doubtful it would be the cause ???

You are funny .... My problem is EXACTLY IT DOESN'T CREATE ANY NEW DMP FILE ........ after each crash ... which is average once every 2 days .... Only dmp files I have are old ones .... the newest made was from the 27th september 2009 .... Not very helpful now is it ???
So my question is why isn't it creating new dmp files ??? Any clue ???
( and yes the options in advanced start up and recovery stuff is set right ... I'm not ret..ded ... )

 

[teddybearirl]

Here is the newest made ( almost 1 year and half ago lol )
