You do not always encounter a corrupted memory dump file. This situation is very rare. The reason is simply because this condition makes your PC virtually unusable, and that is why it is called the blue screen of death error.
Another reason why the memory dump file is corrupted is not very common, such as when you have a virtual machine operating in a cluster environment on a Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2008 R2 platform, or because the VM heartbeat indicator tracking option is enabled.
Here’s how to fix a corrupted memory dump file:
How to fix a corrupted memory dump file:
1. Use specialized repair software
To fix corrupted memory dump files, the best way is to use specialized BSOD repair software. Manually fixing BSOD errors can be difficult, but there are specialized tools that can help.
Restoro with an online database features the latest functionally rich file systems for Windows 10 PCs, allowing you to easily replace any element that could cause BSoD errors.
The software can also help you by creating a restore point before you start repairing, allowing you to easily restore to a previous version of your system if something goes wrong.
Here’s how you can fix registry errors using Restoro:
- Downloading and installing Restoro.
- Run application.
- Wait for the software to identify stability issues and possible corrupted files.
- Press Start Repair.
- Restart the PC for all changes to take effect.
As soon as the repair is complete, your PC should be up and running with no problems. You won’t have to worry about BSoD errors or slow response times anymore.
2. Change settings via GUI
- First open Failover Cluster Manager and click on Roles.
- Search for virtual machine resources and click Resources.
- In the Resources tab, right-click the virtual machine.
- Click Properties and select Settings.
- Uncheck the box Enable automatic recovery for application health monitoring in Heartbeat Setting.
- Similarly, uncheck the Enable heartbeat monitoring for the virtual machine check box, then click OK for the setting to take effect.
This will help prevent corrupt memory dump files from being created on Windows. However, this is not the best long-term solution.

3. Change settings via Windows PowerShell
- Start Windows PowerShell with admin rights.
- Enter the Windows PowerShell command:
Get-ClusterResource- Next, enter the following command to check if the Enable heartbeat monitoring for the virtual machine and Enable automatic recovery for application health monitoring options are enabled:
Get-ClusterResource <VirtualMachineName> | Get-ClusterParameter CheckHeartbeat- Enter the following Windows PowerShell command to set the CheckHeartbeat value to 0:
Get-ClusterResource <VirtualMachineName> | Set-ClusterParameter CheckHeartbeat 0- However, in case you want to disable the Enable automatic recovery for application health monitoring option, run the following Windows PowerShell command:
(Get-ClusterResource <Object>).EmbeddedFailureAction = 1- Exit Windows PowerShell and restart the PC.
By following the steps mentioned above, you will be able to get rid of any corrupted memory dump files that might be affecting the system.
Good luck!
