.INTRODUCTIONSometimes, when you use the CTRL+SCROLL LOCK+SCROLL LOCK keyboard shortcut to generate a crash dump file, the operation does not function correctly. This shortcut may be useful in debugging a problem that causes a server to stop responding or crash. You would typically use this shortcut only when standard live debugging is not an option. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 303021 This method does not work for all systems. For example, Hewlett-Packard (HP) BladeSystem servers from the Hewlett-Packard Development Company are managed through a browser-based graphical user interface (GUI). A keyboard is not attached to the HP BladeSystem server. Therefore, you cannot use this keyboard shortcut to generate a crash dump file. In these cases, you must generate a complete crash dump file or a kernel crash dump file by using the Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI) switch that causes an NMI on the system processor. This article describes how to generate a complete crash dump file or a kernel crash dump file by using an NMI switch.

Note Use this method to generate complete memory dump files with caution. Ideally, you should only do this only when you are explicitly requested to by the Microsoft Customer Support Services Engineer. Any kernel or complete memory dump file debugging should be the last resort when all the standard troubleshooting methods have been completely exhausted. MORE INFORMATIONImportant This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 322756 Before you continue, look in the hardware BIOS reference manual or contact your hardware vendor to determine whether the server is equipped with an NMI switch.
