Visit the link to obtain the file. Ensure you skip any distractions on the site. The utility appears useful for identifying causes of the blue screen when it stems from a driver problem. If the issue isn’t related to a driver, the blank screen might point to a hardware fault.
I’ll download it for you. It didn’t show up blank, but it didn’t trigger a blue screen either—it displayed a message like “your device/pc ran into a problem needs restart.”
I thought posting the minidump files into a specific location in my files would help. You were right about the blue screen, thank you for sharing the details. Are you sure I should just copy the Minidump folder to OneDrive’s downloads? That way I won’t have to delete it on Windows and can simply attach it. After copying, I’ll zip the folder and share it here—would that work? I also attached the file for your reference.
These results point toward memory or CPU problems. Whenever you notice different minidumps each run, it usually indicates an issue with the CPU or memory. If the problem is memory-related, the same error message will consistently appear at specific memory locations within the same module.
It seems the data comes from dump files. Memory isn't always RAM, but it's typically the main concern. Windows moves low-priority RAM info into the page file and retrieves it when needed, making storage appear like memory. The controller is built into the CPU, and if it fails, it can mimic memory behavior. When about half of the dumps point to storage or its drivers, that suggests storage isn't the issue here. If there are any overclocking or undervolting problems, remove them—turn off EXPO for RAM and ensure Precision Boost Overdrive is disabled in BIOS. To check RAM, run the machine normally with one stick at a time. If only one stick causes crashes, that stick is faulty. If it crashes with either stick, the CPU is likely the problem. Memory testers often miss defective RAM, especially DDR4 and newer types, so I'm not confident in their results.
Thanks, the fix worked perfectly. I recall checking the BIOS and realizing I had undervolted my CPU, which I completely missed. Luckily, it was just a small adjustment. After making the change, I tested it and it ran smoothly for about 5 to 7 hours without any unexpected restarts. Appreciate the help!
Hello, everything is working fine now. Appreciate your support and the guidance on downloading it. It turned out to be just a voltage adjustment problem—I ran my PC for several hours without any unexpected restarts. Thank you!
