PC reboots before dumping minidump after BSOD
Hi everyone!
I've been having some random BSODs lately, they seem to happen regardless of activity (when idle, browsing internet, games, etc.). I'm trying to diagnose the problem but windows isn't creating minidump files.
When a BSOD happens, the usual sad face screen with "Windows is collecting error info" flashes for a moment. The % complete never rises from 0, and the PC shuts down. It doesn't reboot by itself - HDs stop spinning, the mouse turns off, etc. Only the case "power on" light keeps blinking. Pressing the reset button does nothing. When i press the power button, the pc turns on normally.
I don't know if the BSOD and the shutting down before minidumps problems are one or two different issues. Having no memory dumps makes it hard for me to diagnose. Any ideas?
- Not overclocking
- Minidumps are enabled, proper path, paging file enabled, microsoft error reporting service enabled
- Ran SFC, all ok
- Ran chkdsk, all ok
- Ran windows memory diagnostic tool 2 times, 2 passes each, all OK. Ran memtest+86 once, all ok.
- BIOS up to date
- Windows defender says i'm clean
Attached is the data collection thing. There are 3 minidumps that may be related to the cause of my problems, but none from the past 2 weeks (and plenty of BSODs in that period!).
