Issue with PC crashing and need assistance generating minidump files.
Issue with PC crashing and need assistance generating minidump files.
Hi guys!
I experienced several crashes recently, mainly in certain games (especially Unity).
After a clean Windows reinstall, I still faced issues... I ran a memtest and detected some errors.
I switched my 16GB RAM to 32GB and re-running memtest showed no problems.
I assumed the troubles were resolved, but they keep coming up—another game crashed three times.
I have two minidump files; could you please help analyze them? They go beyond my usual scope.

Gigabyte x570 aorus master wifi paired with AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-core processor and RTX 3080 graphics. 32GB RAM available.
I recommend starting with a RAM test. One of the reports indicates corruption in a memory structure, while another reports failure due to a damaged PTE entry. If the RAM appears faulty, it should be the primary concern—though a defective driver could also be responsible, we'll investigate further if your RAM seems intact.
Download
Memtest86 (free), use the imageUSB.exe tool from the download to create a bootable USB drive with Memtest86 (1GB is sufficient).
Perform this on another PC if possible, since you can't fully rely on your current system at this stage.
Boot the USB drive on your PC; Memtest86 will begin testing immediately.
After completing the four iterations of the 13 different tests offered by the free version, restart Memtest86 and repeat the process with another four cycles. Even a single bit error will indicate a failure.
Keep in mind this test cannot confirm perfect RAM health but will detect most issues.
Let us know your results.
Hi there! Thank you for your message!
I performed memtest and reported no errors after changing my 16GB RAM to 32GB, which ran successfully.
Since the test completed without issues, it seems like a driver problem rather than a PSU fault—unlikely to be a PSU error.
Appreciate your help!
