Continuous Windows 10 crashes during boot...
Review the crash details from the BSOD screen. If it remains stuck on the BSOD display, skip this part. When the system restarts normally after a short time, follow the instructions on the guide and uncheck the automatic restart option. To restart manually, press the power button. Modify the registry by adding a value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl with the name "DisplayParameters" set to 1 (use hex or decimal). Save changes and reboot. Afterward, the BSOD should show additional information in the top-left corner. Image requested?
I'm not 100% sure what You mean by arguments, could You explain in more detail? This is what the BSOD looks like (See Image) which displays no argument(s) Afaik, just the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR error code / stop code. I should note that when these BSODs / Crashes happen, here is how it happens: I could be doing anything; whether it's playing a video-game, watching YouTube, literally anything, then the PC will freeze for 2-3 seconds, 3 of My 4 monitors go black, the BSOD appears on My primary monitor for about a split second (Sometimes 1-2 seconds if lucky, lol), and then the PC will restart and act normal until it decides to randomly BSOD / Crash again. On that guide that You linked, The tenforums page, I have tried selecting Automatic/Complete/Active over the past few weeks, between now and October pretty much, and for some reason it still won't generate a Minidump in `C:\Windows\Minidump` which is pretty weird, 'eh.. anyway, as mentioned originally, the most recent one is from 25/01/2022 and there's another one from 08/08/2021. I've also just done the DisplayParameters RegEdit thingy, I'm going to restart My PC now and try to replicate the BSOD if possible after having posted this comment
These are the key settings for creating a dump file. Arguments 1 through 4 define what the registry update introduces. This change is typical when storage issues arise. The extra details will verify or refute this. It might relate to the M.2 connection, but a failing SSD is far more likely. Windows doesn't know whether the problem lies with the port or the drive. When a BSOD occurs, it saves data to the page file, but if the drive stops working, it can't complete the write.
Hey there! So my PC just crashed for the first time since we last chatted (scroll up), like a weird error popping up. I took a screenshot of the Display Parameters to figure out what might be causing it. I've attached that image here. Once you check it, could you tell me what’s wrong and how to fix it? Thanks a bunch! P.S. This happened while loading a level in HITMAN 3 — it was strange because I hadn’t had any crashes before.
It points the finger at NVMe, yet remember it struggles to distinguish between an SSD and the slot or motherboard. A defective SSD is significantly more frequent.
Your NVMe SSD might still show a "Good 92%" status in software like CrystalDiskInfo, but that doesn't always mean it's healthy. Even with good readings, hardware issues can exist. Check other signs and consider professional testing if problems persist.
The information provided only shows how many writes remain. Many factors can cause a drive to fail beyond just NAND wear. It also helps explain why no minidump file is generated. The component meant to hold this data is likely the source of the issue.
Others mentioned that the percentage reflects how much warranty coverage remains for the write operations. Most details at the beginning are rarely helpful since the manufacturer decides when a failure occurs before the status updates. Today’s SSDs have eliminated many indicators that would show problems. SMART data is essentially irrelevant on these drives.
