I have no idea why my BSOD isn't dumping, Ill try and redo the collector again.
Where would I set "Small Memory Dumps"? I will have to check.
Yeah GTA5 was one of the worst for the crashes I remember, I think that was a lot to do with trying to run the laptop with Optimus on and not ENSURING it uses GPU instead of Integrated.
I will try the protection step after work and see what I can do,
Thanks again for putting in all this effort to help me.
Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD Create small memory dumps, then look in C:/windows and see if you have a folder named Minidump. if not, create one.
I did what you said, but what is you want me to create Complete or Small Memory Dumps?
I don't have the option for Complete dumps and its currently set to Kernel Memory Dumps.
I have attached the contents of my minidump folder, If you want me to change my settings and force another dump, I can, just let me know.
There are also screenshots of the property tabs so you can see what settings I have in my system.
Here is a the new dump, the BSOD is happening quicker and quicker, so I have a feeling I'm at a loss
I have also attached the new DM LOG Collector results just incase they help.
Thanks again for all your help.
Try reinstalling your graphics drivers. Use this tutorial as a guide, but only install the display driver and Phys X drivers, nothing else.
NVIDIA Drivers - Avoid Problems
Download a GPU and CPU monitoring program and keep a close check on your temps of both. If you need some suggestions, I can give you a couple.
Working on it now,
But I have already done a fresh install of windows and these drivers, do you really think this will help?
Did the information actually come through on my dumps this time?
Yes, partially. We have been having problems with the debugging codes from Microsoft but these were the indications.
I have HWMonitor and MSI Afterburner, will they suffice?
Im just trying the custom clean install now.
