There were no memory dumps.
The setting was to form mini dumps.
For the the next BSOD there should be a memory dump.
The memory dumps are overwritten.
So if there are sequential BSOD the first one will disappear unless it is saved as soon as it occurs.
The more the dumps the more opportunity to find the cause of the crashes.
This was the last dump in the logs:
It displayed that it was saved as a mini dump instead of a memory dump.Code:Event[5581]: Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-WER-SystemErrorReporting Date: 2018-12-10T02:06:29.262 Event ID: 1001 Task: N/A Level: Error Opcode: N/A Keyword: Classic User: N/A User Name: N/A Computer: DESKTOP-J31S98V Description: The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000003b (0x00000000c0000005, 0xfffff80450d6fde2, 0xffff820528025540, 0x0000000000000000). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\121018-36734-01.dmp. Report Id: d778b14a-be73-4e54-9acd-ecb1b112bc18.
So there was no creation of the memory.dmp due to the setting.
With the new setting on automatic there should be mini and memory dumps
Memory dumps are cleaned by Ccleaner and other software.
The computer did not have the software.
Sometimes there are BSOD crashes and the logs display failure to create the dump files.
When this happens there is no mini dump either.
The logs did not display this problem.
A clean install is always the best option.
A fresh operating system with fresh drivers.
The BSOD should disappear unless there are problems with hardware (sometimes new drivers are problematic and require rollback for a stable computer environment)
For some computers the manufacturers stop supporting drivers and it may become challenging to find drivers.
Most often it is best to install the best tested drivers (computer or motherboard manufacturer) and have Windows update the drivers. For any drivers not displayed the next best source for drivers are the component manufacturer websites: Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Killer Networks, Realtek, etc.
The websites that scan for drivers can install unknown files.
For this computer HP has supported drivers up to Windows 8.1.
Drivers for Windows 10 are on a trial and error basis.
In general for a clean install Windows will install Microsoft and non-Microsoft drivers.
For better performance the drivers from the HP website are then downloaded (Windows 7 or 8.1)
Then Windows updates are performed to update these drivers.
The HP support assistant is then ran to check for any drivers.
And to make sure that all drivers are installed device manager is viewed.
