Crash dump not created

Hi,
Recently I encountered a BSOD but there is no crash dump created after
reboot. I have enabled either “Complete dump” or “Kernel dump”, both methods
produced no crash dump. There is no way to debug my driver unless I use
Serial debugging to Windbg. Is there any possible reason why crashed dump is
not created? Thanks for any suggestion!

Regards,
SL

Sorry, forget about my question. I search NTFSD and find out the lengthy
discussion on this topic.

Pagefile on your SystemRoot drive must be as large as your RAM

Plus a little more than memory size unless you have 4GB on a 32-bit OS and
then it doesn’t need more than somewhere around 2.5GB.

To be exact, the minimum size of the pagefile on the boot partition must be
equal to the amount of memory plus 1M. Then you also have to have enough
free disk space on the location where you specified the dump file to be
created. This means you need enough free disk space that’s at least equal to
the amount of memory but I wouldn’t cut it that close and make sure there
was quite a bit more free disk space.

Now, I’ve seen x64 and systems with 4G of RAM limit the dump to a kernel
dump.
