Windows driver verifier is a tool that stress tests drivers.Code:Crash dump found at C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP Creation date: 10/21/2018 09:23:33 Size on disk: 521 MB
Unstable drivers will cause BSOD crashes.
The bsod crashes should produce dump files.
Debugging the files can display information about problematic software and hardware drivers and malfunctioning hardware.
In order to recover from the crashes the Windows driver verifier tool needs to be turned off.
And in order to turn off the tool after a crash the Windows advanced troubleshooting menu is used.
The methods to turn off or recover from using the tool are in this link:

The tool will be used for 48 hours.
While it is used the computer may become sluggish and boots can become slow.
After the last bsod during the 48 hour period and additional 36 hours will be used for testing.
The tool has customized settings.
All non-Microsoft drivers will be tested at the same time.
The customized tests will start out with three tests and may rise to 19 different tests depending upon the frequency of the bsod.
After each bsod run the beta log collector and post a new zip into the thread.
If problematic drivers are found they will be uninstalled or uninstalled and reinstalled.
Drivers can be installed after all misbehaving drivers are found or immediately after they are uninstalled.
The end result should be the same.
Before using the tool the computer files must be protected.
Backup all important files to another drive or to the cloud.
