Hi everyone...
My time has come and my beloved computer is getting 0x00000050 errors
after a power failure.
It is very consistent, and a repair to the system has not solved the
problem (but a clean install has, which makes me believe it's a
software issue and not hardware related).

The most annoying thing however is that a minidump is not written to
the minidump directory. Since I can't get into windows I cannot be
sure if the option is set or not. I was able to edit the registery
using the "load hive" option from my fresh installation and setting
(what i think are) the relevant keys, but to no avail. I am not sure
if I did it correctly however, so if someone knows how it should be
done let me know.

Also, removing the memory/other hardware did nothing at all.
Please, if anyone can help on this I would really apreciate it, since
installing a new system would take days.

Some more digging on the subject:
It seems that the pagefile must reside on the c: drive in order for dump files to be written:

however, when I load my old registery file (again using load hive->c:\windows\system32\config\system and system.sav files) the paging file location seems to be correct -
under the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PagingFiles as explained here:
http://www.petri.co....ptimization.htm

so, it seems something is still blocking the system from writing the dump files, but what?
has anyone changed registry settings from outside the system? am i working on the right filesat all?

Any help would be greatly apreciated...
