<p>I remember watching a webcast from Mark Russinovich showing the sequence of keyboard keys for a user initiated kernel dump. Can somebody refresh my memory on the exact order of the keys.</p>

<p>Please note this is for XP.</p>

This might come in handy for testing and troubleshooting your Startup And Recovery settings, Event logging, and for demonstration purposes.\n\nHere\'s how to create a BSOD:\n\nLaunch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).\nGo to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\i8042prt\\Parameters.\nGo to Edit, select New | DWORD Value and name the new value CrashOnCtrlScroll.\nDouble-click the CrashOnCtrlScroll DWORD Value, type 1 in the Value Data textbox, and click OK.\nClose the Registry Editor and restart Windows XP.\nWhen you want to cause a BSOD, press and hold down the [Ctrl] key on the right side of your keyboard, and then tap the [ScrollLock] key twice. Now you should see the BSOD.\n\nIf your system reboots instead of displaying the BSOD, you\'ll have to disable the Automatically\nRestart setting in the System Properties dialog box. To do so, follow these steps:\n\nPress [Windows]-Break.\nSelect the Advanced tab.\nClick the Settings button in the Startup And Recovery panel.\nClear the Automatically Restart check box in the System Failure panel.\nClick OK twice.\n\nHere\'s how you remove the BSOD configuration:\n\nLaunch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).\nGo to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\i8042prt\\Parameters.\nSelect the CrashOnCtrlScroll value, pull down the Edit menu, and select the Delete command.\nClose the Registry Editor and restart Windows XP.\nNote: Editing the registry is risky, so make sure you have a verified backup before making any changes. \n</pre>\n\n<p>And I may be wrong in assuming you want BSOD, so this is a Microsoft Page showing how to capture kernel dumps:\n<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20151014034039/https://support.microsoft.com/fr-ma/kb/316450" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://web.archive.org/web/20151014034039/https://support.microsoft.com/fr-ma/kb/316450</a></p>\n'}, {'answer_id': 59393, 'author': 'Jack Bolding', 'author_id': 5882, 'author_profile': 'https://Stackoverflow.com/users/5882', 'pm_score': 1, 'selected': False, 'text': '<p>You can setup the <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/241215" rel="nofollow noreferrer">user dump tool</a> from Microsoft with hot keys to dump a process.
