JDU, it does not appear the 100MB partition is used by the system. Are you installed in UEFI mode or Legacy? If you don't know, look in your boot options in Bios and tell me if you SSD is listed as boot device or if it says Windows Boot Manager. In any case that was not the system restore partition, it would house the boot files. In a legacy installed, it would be named System Reserved, in a UEFI Install it would be called EFI System Partition.

Please post a screenshot of disk management https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/2...creenshot.html

Also, please right click on the start flag, select Command Prompt (Admin) and copy/paste this in the window and let it run sfc /scannow
We want the results to say Windows found no integrity violations. If it says it found corrupt files but could not repair them, reboot and run it again. You may have to run it 3 times to get the desired results.

Also, make sure system protection is turned on for your C drive and make sure to allocate enough space for it. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4...dows-10-a.html

JDF, Create and verify a good system Image of your SSD with Macrium. Create a restore point as well. Then Enable Driver Verifier https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5...dows-10-a.html
Please don't force a BSOD in your case, at least not yet. See how it runs first.

   Warning

Be sure to create a System Restore point before proceeding further https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4...dows-10-a.html

DRIVER VERIFIER

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours or the occurrence of the next crash, whichever is earlier.

   Information

What is Driver Verifier:
It puts stress on the drivers, and tries to make the faulty driver crash the computer. It is designed this way, to attempt to trap the offending driver.

What you will notice:
It will tend to make the computer rather slow and sluggish because the drivers are being stressed.

   Warning

Before enabling DV, make sure you have created a system restore point before enabling Driver Verifier. make a System Restore Point manually before enabling DV.

   Tip

• If you fail to get on the Desktop because of DV, Boot into Advanced Boot Options > Safe mode. Disable DV there. Now boot normally again, and try following the instruction of enabling DV again.
• If you cannot boot in Safe mode, do a System Restore to a point you made earlier.

Let us know the results, with the subsequent crash dumps, if any.

If you have a power failure, it will be no different than usual. Your computer will shut down. All it is doing is putting additional stress on all non Microsoft drivers, everything else is pretty much the same. It is a reasonable assumption it is not a system file. That is what the DISM and sfc scans we did are supposed to check for. The sfc means System File Checker and is supposed to verify all protected system files and repair/replace any corrupted/missing files. It showed nothing wrong. It is not always correct, but usually is. So, we can reasonably assume it is a third party driver causing your problem.

Verifier will run until you turn it off. I recommend you run it for 24 hours but no more than 48 hours. Everything will still work just fine and you can do anything you want to do with your computer. You just may notice it being a little sluggish.

We created the image and restore point because rarely we have a driver so bad the computer will not boot under any circumstances. In that case we can use the restore point or the Macrium image to restore the system. That is an extremely rare circumstance, but better safe than sorry. I hope that answers your questions. But, again verifier will run until you turn it off, it will not automatically disable itself.

Max file size depends on file type. It is 2 MB for most files and 8 MB for zip files.

No, that is not normal.
