Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • You use a SCSI miniport driver as the device driver for either the memory dump file or the hibernation file on the computer.

  • You install one of the following updates:

    • Hotfix 2320550

    • Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (SP1)

In this scenario, one of the following symptoms occurs:

  • When a fatal error causes a Stop condition, the operating system does not generate a memory dump file of the system memory.

  • When you try to hibernate the computer, the computer restarts instead of hibernates.
