pagefile.sys is on my C drive (OS drive). And attached here is the screenshot after running the link that you gave. So any clues can be gathered from that?
But though it mentions that the dump files are gonna be stored on that Minidump folder, when I go and visit that directory (C:\Windows) I don't see any such folder nor any *.dmp files even if I enable "see hidden files and folders".
This means that the minidump folder is gonna be created only if a bsod occurs and at the same time if a dump file is written successfully. Since the bsods has happened, but I don't see the folder, that leads me to believe that the dump files are not written.
Is my inference correct?
@Mvdb,
The BSODs are getting menacing. I just now got a kernel_data_inpage_error. I couldn't even catch a glimpse of the bsod as the settings is set to restart the system upon the system failure. And I still don't see the dump folder or any *.dmp file. Do you reckon I give it for a service to check the RAM and hard disks for any ailments and probably get them replaced?
Try some testing yourself first:
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker - Windows 7 Forums
and memory testing:
RAM - Test with Memtest86+
I have done the former. But am yet to do the latter ie.memtest+. I will do it and let you know as soon as possible.
I did the memtest for 2 passes. And there are no errors. So what next? And I have had no success with dumps so far.
Oh that's news to me. I will do that tonight then. Will do it for 7 passes. Will report back tomorrow.
