Here's my latest .dmp file from the livekernal, I have the latest bios too

    Did you install the BIOS update?

    Follow the instructions for BSOD reporting by running the SF Utility with the Grab All button.

    The dump just reported the same 0x117 TDR error on the video driver. You can try to update the Nvidia drivers but you should also check the OEM site for other updates. The BIOS update is marked CRITICAL.

    Where's the up loads? Are you letting it run to the end? Did you run it as administrator?

    The utility can take up to several minutes to collect all the data.

    Verify the location of your dump files between the advanced specs and your disk.

    I'm running it as admin I followed the BSOD guide, my ram is 6.00GB so should I make it 6125 for initial and max, I tried that with complete memory dump, but it doesn't create then I tried System manged size and it doesn't work, then I tried using small memory dump, and it still doesn't work. Should I use small memory dump or complete and what should my custom size be if its 6GB

    Are you booting from the C: drive? (I have to ask.)

    You need to reboot after making any changes to the variables for them to take affect. Post a snip of the window after you reboot.

    A "complete" memory dump shouldn't even be an option if you have 6GB of memory. You should see; None, Kernel and Small. Select the Small dump option and verify the location as "%SYSTEMROOT%\Minidump", Then verify that the folder Minidump exists in C:Windows. The full folder path will be C:Windows\Minidump. You may not be able to see it if the option Hide System Files is selected. If the location is specified as in bold above and the folder doesn't exist then I will need to see your Environment Variables. (I can show you how to display them all if necessary.)

    6125MB should have been plenty for a page file under normal circumstances. You can verify the size by looking in the root directory. (Again, if hidden system files is turned off.)

    I believe that I am booting from C: Drive, what you mean post a snip of the window after you reboot, you mean my desktop?

    I selected small dump but it doesn't create any dump file, but oddly I believe it creates dump when I use kernal not too sure.

    I was reading and this is what I found on some other forums

    No dump files in the zip because no BSODs. You are experiencing "Live Kernel Events" - 0x117. They are one step below a BSOD and their dumps are different and in a different location. Not sure how useful they will be, but I'll see what clues they yield. Also, it would be hard for me to pass on having extra kernel dumps for the weekend

    Is this why I don't have .dmp file for crashig cuz it not techically a BSOD, I don't actually get a blue screen my computer just shuts off when I try to play game and I don't know how to fix it, I tried to a clean window 7 installion before with updated graphic driver from nvidia, I also tried downloading the default driver but still crashes

    Yeah, these are special dumps from Windows kernel watchdog. With these, you should have gotten a message at the bottom of the screen. Upload those and the files from the BSOD utility. If you've already tried updating and/or rolling back the video driver as well as a clean install, It could be you're having heat problems. That's why I need to see all the utility files, not just the dumps.
