Question

Anyone can advice what's the problem, I can't see the dumpfile for the dedicated dump after using notmyfault to crash the server .

I already make the folder path
system physical memory is 8GB

Answer 1

BlueScreenView is a small and portable tool developed by NirSoft that is capable of quickly showing you which file caused the blue screen. All you need to do is download the program, run it and it will automatically analyze the minidump files that are created during the blue screen. The top pane shows the dump files while the lower pane shows the offending files that caused the crash. If the blue screen is caused by a third party program, the driver file should be listed in the lower pane.

Answer 2

@sakuraime If "notmyfault" was used properly then the dump should be there at the location "G:\dumpfile\memorydump.dmp" and also remember you need to turn off "Automatic System Recovery" (generic name and it could be different in your machine) in BIOS as it interrupts the dump creation process.

Hi @sakuraime ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A.

1 . Try disable HP ASR or IBM Automatic Server Restart service.
What brand is the computer? HP/IBM ASR feature reboot the machine when it is saving a dump file. As a result, there is no dump when ASR is enabled.

2 . According to your registry screenshot, make sure disk G is a fixed disk and has 8GB free space, or you can change the dump file path on any local volume which must be a fixed disk device and have at least 8 GB free space.
After changing the registry value, reboot for the change to take effect.

3 . Check system event log to see if there is event id 1001. Watch the BSOD blue screen progress has reached 100%.

4 . Make sure you choose Crash your system in NotMyFault.

Best regards,
Molly
