Artanyis Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Ok, I can guess that it has been discussed before, but I cant find it. So, I know there is a way to force a BSOD while windows is running. I have a reg key that I added that is supposed to work, but it didnt for me. If you want to give it a try here: Location of System Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesi8042prtParameters Value(s) to Modify or Add: CrashOnCtrlScroll Correct Data Type: REG_DWORD Hex Value: 1 to enable, 0 to disable hold down right Ctrl nad hit scroll lock twice if you can get this to work please tell me, if you know of another way, again please tell me.

stingwray Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Yay, if windows crashing on its own wasn't enough, you can now make it crash at will. What have I done without this for all this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Wasn't this something the Microsoft devs put in so that they could test how the system responded in certain circumstances? Might just be talking out of my ass here, but back when 2000 was public beta (aka just on the shelves) I thought they said that this existed in some interview.

Artanyis Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Basicly I am a compuer tech, one of the most common things I do is clean off spyware, viruses, adware .... anyware, I've come accross acouple that I can compleatly remove... except for the fact that they stay active in the memory, a BSOD can fix this becuase it will cause a full memory dump, if I just clean everything and tryshutting down it creates a new root file that this virus/downloader can respawn itself from. So, if I can figure out how to force a BSOD it will get rid of the last trace. By the way, the example I just used was solved by a format and reinstall. And no, system recovery was disabled.

tonysathre Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Cooper, you are right. It was for developers so they could get a memory dump and analyze it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparda Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I think it happens at the kernel level, so I dought it. Unless you can build a keyboard and then program it to send 2 X r. ctrl + scrolllock to the computer at a certian time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
