Please check {windows partition}\windows\minidump and check if there are any recent dump files saved.
Please make sure your pc is configured for small dump files How to configure minidump | Windows 7 tutorial

Diagnostics Test

 System File Check

Please try following:

• Open an admin command prompt
• Copy/paste "sfc/scannow" (without quotes) and press enter
• When it finished reboot your system
• Open again an admin command prompt
• Enter sfc/scannow again

If sfc/scannow does NOT say "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation", please upload the cbs.log file located at {windows partition}\Windows\Logs\CBS\, if the file is too large try a 3rd party uploader like dropbox, onedrive, google drive, mediafire etc.
System File Check(SFC a.k.a. Windows Resource Protection) needs to have your system rebooted in order for sfc to try to fix the problems that it finds.

Ok, I followed this precisely and both times it said "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violation".

What is in the minidump folder?

Where would that be?

Ok, sorry, found 2 recent ones with dmp extensions. It won't allow me to upload them here.

This is like pulling teeth. ( never used zip before in Win 7 ) I right click the file and say Send To - Zipped Folder, and it says it cant do it!

Yes, now I am, and it won't work.
