When system crash, i get a bsod like this:

Windows_XP_BSOD..png

After it crash, windows saves the log in C as prefix crash.dmp Where can i get to that log file?

the log file will be %systemroot%\Minidump which is normally C:\windows\Minidump ;)

if the files don't exist then setup your system to record them ;-
  1. Go to Start and type in sysdm.cpl and press Enter
  2. Click on the Advanced tab
  3. Click on the Startup and Recovery Settings button
  4. Ensure that Automatically restart is unchecked
  5. Under the Write Debugging Information header select Small memory dump (256 kB) in the dropdown box
  6. Ensure that the Small Dump Directory is listed as %systemroot%\Minidump << where your .dmp files can be found later
Click OK twice to exit the dialogs, then reboot for the changes to take effect.

Hi -

The bugcheck from the screenshot -

- 0x50 (0xfd3094c2,0x1,0xfbfe7617,0x0) = invalid memory referenced; the object in memory address 0xfbfe7617 attempted to write to the memory address 0xfd3094c2

Either someone is playing a joke on you or you on us. Whichever it is, it is a waste of time and valuable resources.

The screenshot from your alleged Windows 7 system BSOD shows:
- bugcheck = 0x00000050 (0xFD3094C2,0x00000001,0xFBFE7617,0x00000000)
- fault info - SPCMDCON.SYS - Address FBFE7617 base at FBFE5000, DateStamp 3d6dd67c


It is identical to the screenshot found at this CMD_TRICKS_101 site --> BSOD(Blue Screen Of Death)

Whoever is responsible is not too smart to think that at some point this would not be discovered as the timestamp on the XP recovery console related driver = 3d6dd67c - which translates to Thu Aug 29 04:08:28 2002

Not only is the driver name and timestamp identical to the Tricks_101 screenshot - so are the memory addresses.


Your screenshot is on the left; the screenshot from CMD_Tricks_101 on the right

The batch script from CMD_Tricks_101 that creates that exact BSOD screen -
Code:
[font=lucida console]
[color=red][b][SIZE=3]step 5[/SIZE][/b][/color]  BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death)
to create the BSOD, make a batch file, then type what's between the stars

Hello,

I must agree with John !!

Did you get BSOD unknowingly ?? Or your forcing the PC to crash to analysis the Dump file ?? Because if you run the batch file you'll get exactly the same bugcheck. The driver name, time stamp etc will show up what ever we write in the batch file. We are here to help people who are in real trouble !!
