       Missing crash dump files in Windows 7.

       I've faced with some situation when my Windows 7 crushed and to
       investigate about it, I've to find memory.dmp file.
       But the problem is sometimes it doesn't appears. In order to
       fix it follow these instructions:-
       Click Start > Right-click on Computer > Properties > Advanced
       System Settings > Startup and Recovery Settings. Take
       a look that "Write debugging information" is not set to None.
       And Dump file location is
       default "%SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP".
       If all things are fine than most probably your free hard drive
       space is less than25GB. And so Windows will not keep a crash
       dump file during crashes. But again, you can you can change this
       settings. In order to do these follow these instructions:-
       Start > Run > Type regedit > Okay
       Navigate to:-
       HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro
       l\CrashControl
       Create a new DWORD value called AlwaysKeepMemoryDump and set its
       value to 1.
       Your crash dump file will always be preserved in future
       crashes.
