Windows BSOD or other issue? Read here first!

Software & Operating Systems Windows

So I have seen a couple of threads with Windows BSOD issues, now I want to help the people who post in it but don’t know where to start.

For starters, copy and paste this line into your explorer bar "%SystemRoot%\Minidump" or "C:\Windows\Minidump".

Zip and upload the contents of the folder to something like DropBox or MediaFire and create a new thread.

In that new thread, a quick description of hardware, anti-virus, what version of Windows, and maybe a short description of how you encounter the BSOD is possible.

Useful tools that may help.

Update: I’ve been seeing people here use BlueScreenView to try and debug these issues. All I have to say is don’t bother, BSV isn’t reliable enough to provide any real answers. If you truly want to debug mini-dumps, learn how to use WinDBG/Sysnative.

Update2: Event Viewer does not provide enough information regarding BSODs. Event Viewer provides a shit ton of information leading up to the BSOD. Only use the Event Viewer to assist in debugging the issue, IT DOES NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO GIVE A CONCRETE ANSWER. (Someone tried to solve a BSOD with event viewer and it pissed me off)

Hey all who could possible assist me,

I've been having some recent BSOD issues and I'm not particularly comfortable with trouble shooting this by myself, so i figured i'd use the internet to my advantage.

This is from a post on r/techsupport I made

Reddit post

" BSOD Mini Dump analysis

My system specs are 3770k p8z77-v Deluxe 8gb Geil 1600 DDR3 Gtx 780ti 120gb hyperx 3k Random hdd 750 watt seasonic gold PSU

This has started to happened recently, I have not really installed any new software that i think would effect anything. No hardware changes or anything of that nature. The problems that i have been having don't seem to be related to any thing that i am doing on my computer, most of the time ill have come back to my computer after a few hours and the blue screen had happened at some point. I'd really appreciate any type of help.

Thank You,
Carter "

So again I'd really appreciate any help

@novasty can you toss this to a new thread please.
@carter9996 i need you to umpload the .dmp files. i use a more advanced program for analysis

The dmp files should be in the first clickable link called

Contents of %SystemRoot%\Minidump\

It should be a 7z in Dropbox

Hello, I wonder whether you could help me?

I have been having intermittent BSOD on windows 10 64bit on my new pc:

i7 6700k
H100i GTX
EVGA Z170 FTW
16gb Corsair lpx ddr4
GTX 980 ti FTW

I have saved the mini dump files and got them analysed

Could somebody more knowledgeable than me take a look and see if, hopefully, there is a solution?

okay, you need to post a new thread,. and follow the instructions. but start with a memtest. ANY errors means you got bad ram

Guessing it might be a problem with my RAM but not sure
