no dump file!!!

[pc]

I'm going ape shit. XP pro SP2 all latest patches.

My asus a8n-sli deluxe system with an opteron 185 isn't giving me
dumps or minidumps, even though I have them configured in SYSTEM
PROPERTIES/ADVANCED/SETTINGS. I've got it set for a complete dump and
event view logging. Nothing. Nada.

I've had the BSOD about 5 times since I rebuilt the system earlier
this month, and the last three or four didn't give me anything except
the blue screen information.

All my paging is on the root, set for 4GB fixed with 2GB ram, so
there's no reason the dump shouldn't happen, unless the hardware has
gone so teats up that it can't even dump.

This really sucks, as I've found the dump files to be really helpful
with WinDbg to isolate offending drivers.

My last crash was 0x000000F4 (0X00000003, 0x89B45240, 0x89B453B4,
0x805D11F8) I've looked up about everything I can find relating to
that error. It points to hardware, that's about it.

I'm about to try swapping out half my ram, or perhaps running MEM386,
or whatever it's called these days.

Suggestions? (Yeah, I'm already working on an UBUNTU system...)

Now if it was a hardware problem, then it would show it if
you're running another OS. You might try a Live-CD. I've had
a dying CPU and sometimes it worked the whole time, and then
at other days no matter which GNU/Linux-OS I'd boot, (triple
boot) the same problem came (complete system-freeze) nothing
would respond.


Yes I too am using Ubuntu after years of various other distributions.
