BSODs (No Minidumps, Driver Verifier freezes OS on boot)

[an otter]

So I've been getting BSODs lately. I would get the occasional one, but lately I've been able to have them happen without fail when trying to both host and play on a Minecraft server.

I did 2 passes with Windows' 'Diagnose your computer's memory problems' tool and it found no error, so I assume it's a driver issue. I've received so far a 'BUGCODE_USB_DRIVER' BSOD, and a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL' BSOD. Neither crash produced a minidump, and the last few crashes I don't even get a BSOD, it just crashes and reboots.

I've attempted to run Windows' Driver Verifier, but doing so freezes the OS upon startup, so I can't even do that.

Given that I can get a crash with 100% reliability with hosting a Minecraft server and then attempting to play on it, I assume it's somehow Java/peripheral/video card related, but I can't be sure. I don't get BSODs reliably with most, if any other non-Java games.

I've since uninstalled and re-installed Java and I'd be willing to pay someone to help me fix this issue at this point.

Hello an otter.

Disable Driver verifier.

Follow it: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/174459-dump-files-configure-windows-create-bsod.html
Go to Option Two, Point 2. Download the .reg file and merge it in registry by double clicking it.

Search the .dmp files manually in the default path: C:\Windows\Minidump or %SystemRoot%\Minidump. Post it following the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) Posting Instructions.

Seeing the crash dumps, if we suggest you to enable Driver Verifier, go for it then only.
