(SOLVED)BSOD out of the blue (pun intended)

<< < (3/5) > >>

Tacotardis42:
And it found no errors? OK, whocrashed it is. And that reported no crashes found, and I checked for myself, the minidump is gone. Ah well.

Boggin:
Sometimes it may not create a mini dump file but check to see if they are enabled on your machine.

When I ran Disk Cleanup as an admin, it listed 11.4MB in dump files but neither of those programs found any on mine either for some reason.

I run CCleaner at the end of each session but have the memory dump file box unchecked so they are not deleted.

Regardless of whether there are any updates or not, I think it would be prudent reinstall all of the 3rd party drivers if this happens again.

Tacotardis42:
It created a minidump, but I must have deleted with a junk cleaner. Ah well. Should I label this as solved? Kind of impossible to check it now unless I wanna undelete it :p

Boggin:
Yes, you could do if you aren't getting any more problems, but at least you now know what to do should it occur again.

What sort of junk cleaner are you using and does it have the option to uncheck dump files ?

Are you able to undelete it ?

Tacotardis42:
Well I use iolo system mechanic, and it's pretty good but a bit too user friendly i.e it doesn't take as much user feedback for what it deletes, so no I can't uncheck them unless I exclude a folder manually. I really like it though. And I may be able to undelete it, I know of several programs that can do it, but I don't know if I actually have them currently installed. I'll let you know if I successfully undelete it.
