Driver Verifier BSOD - NO dmp files are being created

Hey guys,

So this is my second distinct BSOD in the last while. I turned on driver verifier to investigate the first BSOD problem because minidump files arent being created even after turning on small memory dumps (kernel dumps dont show up either). So this new BSOD appears immediately when the starting windows screen appears.

Ive attached the ntbtlog.txt file which was created through the enable boot logging option.

Any info would be awesome, Thanks a lot

Thanks for the reply Richard. I will do what you asked and report back but I just wanted to clarify first that if driver verifier is turned off then my computer will start fine. However, when driver verifier is on the BSOD appears before the starting windows screen finishes loading.

Beautiful, I like good news. So should I skip the clean boot step and continue with the security essentials and malwarebytes scans then?

So here is where I am at.

- The BSOD will only appear when I turn on driver verifier and it appears before I can log into my account about 20 seconds after the initial dell bios screen switches over to the "starting windows" loading screen.

(I followed the instructions at Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable to enable driver verifier)

So heres what happened after the clean boot
- I followed the clean boot instructions AND turned on driver verifier
- I encountered the same BSOD BEFORE i was able to log in

I did not do the clean boot with the driver verifier off because I am able to startup without issue with normal startup options when the verifier is off.

My question is if the clean boot will be able to tell us anything if the BSOD occurs before the boot.

I will continue to play around with the clean boot services to see if i can get the bsod to appear with the driver verifier OFF.

Thanks again Richard.

Ok Malwarebytes is scanning and my dump settings are correct. I didnt change any settings so would there be any other reason why a minidump file is not being created?
