i just recent had my pc randomly reboot and when looking for dmp file i noticed it was created..what would cause dmp files from not being generated after a crash
Check your settings...
1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel (Start>Control Panel in Vista).
2. Double-click System.
3. Click (Advanced system settings link in Vista, then --->)the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
4. Make sure, there is a checkmark in Write an event to the system log.
5. In the Write debugging information list, click Small memory dump (64k) (128K in Windows 7).
You must have some other issues then, which won't create any BSOD.
It may happen, for instance, if the reboot is caused by overheating, or failing power supply, just to mention a couple of possibilities.
Download System Information for Windows (SIW free version)
No installation required.
After it scans your computer, navigate to Hardware>Sensors and post all info from there.
