No mini dump being created at BSODs, couldn't record basic blue screen info.
OnT40p, XPpro Sp3 I can find no dump file being created after 3 recent BSODs. Previously (last year) such dumps were placed into C:\windows\minidump. Under 'startup and recovery options' I have it set to 64K dump, write event to log, dump dir %systemroot%\minidump. Virtual mem is was to 2MB on C: and the remainder (system managed size) on D. There's 1.5G physical ram. Should be plenty of virtual mem for a 64k dump file. (I just reset virtual mem on C: to 4/4 MB, expecting that will do nothing). The checkbox 'automatically restart' is cleared, but last time it restarted itself nonetheless, so I could not record the blue screen info. I need only the basic info such as the "irq not less...." errors and the stop error number, not a detailed dump of the system state. I want to determine what type of problem it is and have that ready for a service call, in part to be sure the correct repair is applied. Any thoughts? Supposedly a 2MB page file an C: is enough for mini dump to work, but maybe there's an undocumented issue? thanks!
