Intermittent BSODs with no dump file created
My PC has had occasional blue screens for several months. Each time one happens, no dump file is created even though I have configured Windows to do so. The event log contains a volmgr error at the time of the blue screen, with text "Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation." The EventData for this is:\Device\HarddiskVolume8 000000000100000000000000A10004C042000400010000C000000000000000000000000000000000Some investigation shows that HarddiskVolume8 is my C: drive (Samsung 950 PRO NVMe). I actually have the dump file configured to write to a different drive, but this doesn't seem to make a difference. Does this suggest that the C: drive is physically on its way out? The Samsung analysis tool doesn't find any errors with the drive data, but I suppose that I might just have got unlucky and it's going bad before its time. If this is indicative of any other error condition I'd like to hear about it too!
