XP x32 SP3

We have some machines that are getting BSOD's from time to time.

But they are never creating a minidump.

I checked the location of the dump and it is set correctly.

Their is plenty of room for a minidump.

But it never seems to create one. Matter of fact, I have seen one of the
machines BS and when I look in the event viewer, I don't see any information
that the computer had an issue when it BS.


Thanks

You can perhaps figure out and correct the problem with your settings
by forcing a BSOD at will.

What is the size of the pagefile on your C drive?

The paging file is about 2 gb

Free HD space is about 35 gb

That is not your problem (but it might have been).

Did you try the link that lets you force a BSOD? It works every time.

That will help you solve your problem chop-chop. Or, you could do
more guessing.
