Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it, [back up the registry for restoration](https://support.microsoft.com/help/322756) in case problems occur. - -A complete memory dump file records all the contents of system memory when the computer stops unexpectedly. A complete memory dump file may contain data from processes that were running when the memory dump file was collected. - -If the computer is no longer frozen and now is running in a good state, use the following steps to enable memory dump so that you can collect memory dump when the freeze issue occurs again. If the virtual machine is still running in a frozen state, use the following steps to enable and collect memory dump. - -> [!Note] -> If you have a restart feature that is enabled on the computer, such as the Automatic System Restart (ASR) feature in Compaq computers, disable it. This setting is usually found in the BIOS. With this feature enabled, if the BIOS doesn't detect a heartbeat from the operating system, it will restart the computer. The restart can interrupt the dump process. - - -1. Make sure that the computer is set up to get a complete memory dump file. To do this, follow these steps: - - 1. Go to **System Properties** \> **Advanced** \> **Settings** in **Performance** \> **Advanced**, and then check or change the virtual memory by clicking **Change**. - - 2. Go back to **System Properties** \> **Advanced** \> **Settings** in **Startup and Recovery**. - - 3. In the **Write Debugging Information** section, select **Complete Memory Dump**. - - > [!Note] - > For Windows versions that are earlier than Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012, the Complete Memory Dump type isn't available in the GUI. You have to change it in Registry Editor. To do this, change the value of the following **CrashDumpEnabled** registry entry to **1** (REG_DWORD):**HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl\CrashDumpEnabled** - - 4. Select **Overwrite any existing file**. - - 5. Make sure that there's a paging file (pagefile.sys) on the system drive and that it’s at least 100 megabytes (MB) over the installed RAM (Initial and Maximum Size). - - Additionally, you can use the workaround for [space limitations on the system drive in Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008](#space-limitations-on-the-system-drive-on-windows-vista-and-windows-server-2008). - - 6. Make sure that there's more freed-up space on the hard disk drives than there is physical RAM. - -2. Enable the CrashOnCtrlScroll registry value to allow the system to generate a dump file by using the keyboard. To do this, follow these steps: - - 1. Go to Registry Editor, and then locate the following registry keys: - * `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters` - * `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kbdhid\Parameters` - - 2.
