Are you getting just freezes or are you getting blue screens? It only creates dump files on a BSOD.
Are you getting just freezes or are you getting blue screens? It only creates dump files on a BSOD.
That's why no dump files. Do you do system images?
Also, is there any app that you run that will always cause a freeze?
No I dont do system images. And the freezes occur on any app. It can be idle for hours and be fine, however once I run a application (be it google chrome, or a game) then it can eventually freeze.
However what I do notice is that if I play a game, AND be watching youtube videos at the same time (the video is on my second monitor) then I will get a crash far more frequently.
I also tried disconnecting my second monitor but that doesn't help.
Would you think that maybe watching a You Tube/Movie while playing a game may over tax your GPU? A couple of things to try. If you are using Adobe Flash, disable Hardware acceleration or Try uninstalling Chrome and using some other browser just to see.
Usually freezing is running out of resources/a bad driver or ram problems. You may also try

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.
