Windows 7 does not save minidumps of my BSOD's (added logs)

Hi. I would love to know why my laptop even though I have it set up as to save small 256k minidumps files. I only have old ones from 2013/2014. I used whocrashed but also encounter the same problem there.

I read another thread of someone who had the same problem and I saved a log of my admin events in a zip file.

I use windows 7. chrome. There are s many errors looking at it. I just changed from avira antivirus to avast free .So far no bsod's. Wondering if perhaps it is time to get a new laptop.
Thanks in advance

I believe you must have a pagefile on , minimum size of 200 MB to get dump files.

Hi CrazyD,
Can see some errors.
and from your last unfinshed BSOD thread.

Uninstall from programs
Microsoft Security Essentials, if its not showing run this

now please download and
SAVE THESE TO YOUR DESTOP.

a new MSE
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/confirmation.aspx?id=5201
Uninstall Avast
Avast Uninstall Utility | Download aswClear for Avast Removal
and Avira
Avira AntiVir Removal Tool - Download


REBOOT into safe mode
run the Avast/Avira uninstallers
(MSE/Avast/Avira are having problems)

REBOOT

Now re-install MSE
please use MSE whilst this thread is running.
From the earlier thread run
sfc /scannow
and
chkdsk


Your Bios is out of date and i suspect your IRST's as well
please update from here

There are a lot more errors on your system this is the begining

* Did the sf scan. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

i. I am already encountering problems. When I click on the link about MSE not properly gone from my pc because it is indeed not showing in the programs uninstall I do get info about fixit but there is no download. I searched and then it brought me to How to manually uninstall Microsoft Security Essentials and then I click on the fixit link it brings me to the link you gave.

There were no problems when scanning but I did encounter a bsod and it is about avira or avast. Off to install the avast tool and avira and then reboot in safe mode to run.

Then I am not sure if I am pc knowledgeable enough to update the bios. That being said everything I know about computers did i learn by reading and doing.
Thanks. off to reboot

I am still there but not sure what to do. I did not manage to correctly removing mse. I did uninstall and then download the latest you pointed to.
Right now I only have malwarebytes and the the newly reinstalled MSE and I am running a new sFC SCAN but it had no problems when i did it last week.

The avira removal tool was just a pdf file so I searched on google and found it and removed avira. The other link was working which was the avast removal.

Tonight I will let the pc do a chkdsk scan.

Then next step then is the updating of the bios?
