The debugging information can be written to different file formats (also known as memory dump files) when your computer stops unexpectedly because of a **Stop** error (also known as a _blue screen_, system crash, or bug check). You can also configure Windows not to write debugging information to a memory dump file.

A kernel memory dump records only the kernel memory. It speeds up the process of recording information in a log when your computer stops unexpectedly. You must have a pagefile large enough to accommodate your kernel memory. For 32-bit systems, kernel memory is usually between 150 MB and 2 GB.
