    Random BSOD and jerky mouse movements


    I am getting a BSOD about weekly and at random times. Mouse movements are often jerky and sometime precede a crash.

    Report attached.

    There are no dumps in your logs to analyse.

    1. Open Advanced System Settings
    2. Click on Settings in Startup & Recovery
    3. Make sure both boxes indicated below are checked
    4. In the dropdown box ensure you're set to record Small Memory Dumps

    I have a memory dump checked but not the restart--I thought you shouldn't do that do you can analyze the error message?

    Anyway I can't find a dump file despite the fact that the system crashed today. I looked in windows and minidump and nothing was there. Is there another place?

    Follow these steps:

    1. Configure Windows to create minidumps:
    Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD

    2. Set the paging file on C: to be the same size as the physically installed RAM:
    Virtual Memory Paging File - Change

    3. Set the Windows Error Reporting service to MANUAL:
    Services - Start or Disable



    4. Test to see that dump files are created:
    - Open Windows Task Manager
    - Navigate to the Processes tab
    - Right-click on explorer.exe, and click Create Dump File



    - Note the location of the saved file



    - Check that location and confirm that explorer.dmp exists

    Okay--now I have a dump file because the system just crashed. I don't see a valid file extension for attaching a dmp file

    Here is the most recent report but I still don't see a dump file in there even though the system is set to capture one
