    No minidump folder created after BSOD


    On my pc, I received a BSOD and it automatically created a minidump folder (C:\windows\minidump) and I was able to resolve the issue reading the dump files. My co-worker got a BSOD but no minidump folder was created, therefore there are no dump files for me to look at to help resolve the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue without having the dump files? This is my first-ever post, any help would be greatly apprecaited.

    Thanks!

    Without having the dump files it's pretty difficult to diagnose the STOP. It could be worth checking this tutorial though in the event of future crashes. Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

    Make sure the creation of dump files is enabled. This is in the advanced system properties, "startup and recovery" section. There most also be a sufficiently large pagefile on the system drive. A system managed pagefile is generally more than enough.

I don't know where to even begin with this, but my laptop is almost unusable now. It started about a month ago with a few freezes each few days, mostly when watching videos online. It went on like that for about 3 weeks, but this last week has been awful. It's freezing and/or blue screening over...
I will be playing a game on my new PC and it will randomly freeze every now and then. When I restart it there is no error being registered and no minidump file created. What do I do?
Hi, I am haunted by BSOD for some months now (approx 1-2 per week). They mostly occur during some RAM intensive things (videos, skype, image processing, antivirus check). I am pretty sure it is memory and/or driver related. I unsucessfully tried various things to fix it yet: - Changed Ram,...
