    BSOD - video driver problem?


    This computer is less than a month old; I had it built by CyberPowerPC.

    I downloaded the Windows Live Essential pack that included Windows Movie Maker. I was editing some things in movie maker, tabbed out to Firefox and my screen cut off to the BSOD. Restarted and everything worked fine for the rest of the day.

    I started my computer this morning and I believe I was browsing the web and the BSOD happened again.

    Everything was fine today, but I was playing The Sims 3 for a 10 minutes or so, then the BSOD popped up.

    Hello pandasaurus and welcome to seven forums.

    I don't see any dump files in the folder. Make sure the system is configured to create dumps.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    How to get to Startup and Recovery:
    OPTION ONE
    Through Startup and Recovery

    1. Open the Start Menu.
    A) Right click on the Computer button on the dark right side and click on Properties.

    B) Go to step 3.
    OR

    2. Open the Control Panel (All Items view) and click on the System icon.

    3. In the left blue pane, click on the Advanced system settings link. (See screenshot below)
    4. Close the System window. (See screenshot above)

    5. Under the Advanced tab, click on the Settings button under Startup and Recovery.

    I apologize, they are the files from the BSOD Dump & System File Collection app that I got from the BSOD Posting guidelines. What do I do after I've configured my system to create dumps?

    Can you upload the .dmp files from C:\Windows\Minidump?

    Copy all of the dump files from that folder to your desktop.
    Select all of the dump files from the desktop and create a .zip file or a .rar file.
    Then upload it here (use the paperclip) icon.

    I don't have a Minidump folder, even after configuring it.

    I had gone BSOD-free the entire day until now. I had multiple tabs in Firefox open and my computer randomly restarted. I started Windows normally, and got the BSOD. Restart manually and starting Windows normally and it was fine after that.

    I still do not see a Minidump folder in C:\Windows\, but I myself searched for a .dmp file and found what is attached to this post.
