Not able to memory dump and create a memory.dmp file in the path: %SystemRoot%\Minidump

This question is a part of my job profile. I work for an MNC chip maker. As a part of our systems testing environment, we boot into the Microsoft windows 8.1 windows OS and run some specific tests from the OS. The platform design (mother board) is an internal
design.
Issue is with the booting sequence since no much information is available when Windows 8.1 tries to boot and when we see the splash screen. Especially when we see a BSOD, there had been no leads.
I tried to enable the small memory dump option in Windows 8.1 OS which tries to write the files into the location %SystemRoot%\Minidump on a system crash while boot. Please note that Windows 8.1 has been stored as a .VHD file in the hard disk (which
is the boot-disk). The issue is, even in an event of a BSOD while booting, I am not able to see any memory dump files that had been logged in that location.
Is this issue would have been caused by the VHD file format since it is a virtualized disk ? Please let me know what all the issues could be, so that I can have some memory logs here to look into. May be analyze the Windows debugger.
Best Regards
Akhil

Hi,
The causes why Windows does not save memory dump file after a crash are listed in the link below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130536
I suggest you check the space, make sure that there's enough room for the memory dump file.
And this blog can also be helpful

  • I'm having problems (1)selecting onscreen text, (2) having problems resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

    I'm having problems (1) selecting onscreen text, (2) resizing menu boxes and selecting menues with the cursor. I'm not able to select menus and move them. I'm not sure how to correct this.

    1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
    thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
    which will correct the problem...

    2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
    minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
    accurate.
    3) This?
    iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
    point
    4) Restore the iPod
    5) Try these...
    iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start

    I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
    posted for each one.

    I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

  • Not able to open pdf and adobe reader on windows xp sp3.

    Hello,
    I am not able to open pdf and adobe reader on my windows xp sp3 computer. I have reinstalled adobe reader 11.0.3 twice, but, no luck. I would appreciate if you could help me in resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:
    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html
    Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

  • Finder not able to view folders and files on EHD after updating to OS X 10.9.4

    I can see still see 'Hitachi' in the 'Devices' Sidebar, but I am not able to view folders and files on this Hitachi XL2000 2TB FAT32 Hard Drive (EHD) that is USB connected to the iMac below.
    Late 2013 Apple iMac (27-inch Display 2560 x 1440), 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB, 512GB Flash Storage, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5, Magic Trackpad, Apple Wireless Keyboard and OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks
    All was fine until I updated from OS X 10.9.3 to 10.9.4 earlier this week, so now when I double-click on 'Hitachi' it just loads and loads with nothing happening and never displays the folder and file contents of the EHD.
    Also, confirmed that Hitachi EHD has been removed from Spotlight indexing per System Preferences > Privacy > + > Hitachi and it was so this does not seem to be an indexing issue.
    I have used OnyX and Apple Disk Utilities unsuccessfully to try and fix this problem.
    Interestingly, Backblaze online backup still sees the EHD and connecting this EHD to a Win 8.1 PC also sees the EHD.
    Further, I ran the commands below in 'Terminal' to make sure the drive was visible and got the following results which shows that the EHD is not hidden.
    iMac:Applications john$ chflags nohidden /Volumes/Hitachi/
    iMac:Applications john$ GetFileInfo /Volumes/Hitachi/
    directory: "/Volumes/HITACHI"
    attributes: avbstclinmedz
    modified: 07/10/2014 23:26:44
    Finally, I installed XtraFinder and am still not able to see the contents of the EHD, but when I installed OmniDiskSweeper I can navigate the EHD folder tree with no problems and can see the contents of the EHD, but when I try and open up a file it opens Finder which loads and loads and nothing happens.

    Apple Support was quite helpful, but in the end I will wait to do a clean install of OS X Yosemite which is due in the Fall and not try and fix OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks.
    It turns out that I run backups on my '/Users/john/Library' and the size of this folder before the 10.9.4 update was 1.07 GB and after the update it is 806.9 MB which is baffling, but in the end all of these problems should be resolved with a clean install of OS X Yosemite.
    One lesson learned for the future is that I will wait on installing an update until it has been in the wild for awhile as a quick OS X Mavericks Finder Problem search and similar searches show there could be an issue.

    I had this same problem with what's app.  There is a new update for the app on the app store which is compatible with ios8.  Update the app, or delete it and re-add it.  I found a lot of apps weren't compliant with ios8, but after updating everything worked fine.

    We need to get you moved. This forum is for mini-tower Macs built between 1998 and 2005 and doesn;t get as much traffic ("eyeballs on the problem") as the forums for newer Macs.
    Please do "About this Mac" from you Apple menu and tell us what that says for "processor" and Mac OS version. Looks like this:
    or this for later Mac OS versions:
    With that we can figure out which of the two iMac forums you need and get the Hosts to move your post.

    Sorry, there is nothing you can do.
    FYI: Damage like that is not covered by warranty, & all Apple will offer you is an out of warranty replacement...cost, in the US, for an iPhone 4, is US $149.

  • Gnome panel 3.2 - I am not able to see clock and date well

    Hello all,
    I am using Gnome in fallback -mode. I upgraded my gnome-panel to version 3.2 and after upgrading I am not able to see date and time information well. This information have shown a dark grey color, which is very difficult to see because background is black. If I put my mouse cursor on the time panel I am able to see infromation because background changes from black to white (timebox get activated). Is there any way to change font/foreground colour from grey to white? It is very irritating put mouse cursor on the date everytime when I want to see time.  I tried to downgrade panel back to 3.0 version, but after that I wasn't able to see panel at the all.
