yeah, I was seriously concerned when it happened, but really relieved when it didn't happen again, as that could've suggested an even bigger issue being the cause if it had happened again.
When I get home this evening I'll try to get it into some bootable working mode to look for the DMP file.
I am having a simmiliar issue except I only notice the blue screen crashes happening while I'm playing a video game. It happened a lot when I played Rift and now that I'm playing Star Wars the Old Republic, it happens as well. It is very frustrating to say the least.
ok, backed up all my data, got the computer itself fixed (monitors weren't responding) and ran the HP recovery/restore program off the recovery partition. Unfortunately, the minidump file seemed to still be empty until the bitter end.
However, after reinstalling Windows, I put the PC to hibernate and moved it back upstairs. There was a BSOD when attempting to resume from hibernation. All that had changed was I had unplugged one of my USB external HDDs. A DMP file did seem to be created, so if somebody could analyse it to see if there is any critical issue before I get into putting all my files back on the HDD or if it is just due to me removing the USB HDD.
This one was Related to afd.sys Ancillary Function Driver from Microsoft Corporation. This driver caused a memory exception.
I believe that afd was triggered by USBPORT.sys but with only one dmp to examine we will have to wait and see.
It will be easier to fix by simply upgrading to SP-1
Please run the update readiness tool and then update to SP-1
Ensure you install the correct 64 or 32 bit option for your system)
Download the System Update Readiness Tool (64bit)
Download the System Update Readiness Tool (32bit)
ok, bad news
Four BSODs (seems to be stuck at the same damage level as before. well, perhaps not quite as severe, but seems to ertainly be a "can't start windows normally without a crash" problem). Attached zip contains 4 DMPs. Three of them start with 9... as I removed the BIOS battery after the second BSOD of today as the BIOS was frozen again :/ (so the time is reset)
Most recent one was Related to AgileVpn.sys RAS Agile Vpn Miniport Call Manager from Microsoft Corporation..ok, bad news

The other three from September and therefor not useable.
Usable as in unreadable? As if it's just because of the date but is readable, they are from today, but I removed the bios battery so the time and date was reset ad the bios had been freezing and haven't yet changed it back to the real time.
I've been running memtest for the last 5 1/2 hours, and it's done 4 passes and come up with 0 errors. I also ran the PC Doctor tool when Windows was in one of its "deciding to work" phases and the GPU got a pass with both tests, and all components got passes with the other tests.
