force a system crash


You need to do control then scroll lock twice, but before you do that you need to setup the keyboard.

Defining Alternate Keyboard Shortcuts to Force a System Crash from the Keyboard

You can configure values under the following registry subkeys for different keyboard shortcut sequences to generate the memory dump file:
  • For PS/2 keyboards:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\crashdump
  • For USB keyboards:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kbdhid\crashdump
The location of that file is in registry
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl\Dumpfile

Use Dumpchk.exe to check a memory dump file
