Glad you explained it :)
Another 'going back to', this time because I'm having some issues with gathering information about the crashes to find some patterns.
What you're trying to do is exactly what the BSOD is meant to do, preventing OS corruption and/or personal data corruption.No. I entirely restored my system to its pre-crash state using Macrium system image backups after each crash. I always saved the crash data (dump files, etc) before restoring my system, though. As I restored my system to its pre-crash state each time, I eliminated any possible operating system damage caused by the crashes themselves.
The BSOD occurs when it sees that something is breaking rules in the kernel, it saves the data in the RAM so others can have a look at it and safely shuts down the system to prevent (further) corruption. In certain crashes there is already corruption, it is only caught when the corruption is being accessed, but userdata corruption and OS corruption is rare to occur.
The crashes do not cause any damage to the system, if they somehow do then there is an entirely different problem with the OS since the crashes are meant to protect your system.
The risk of important data being removed when restoring to a date before the system crashes is quite high, I ask you to not do this anymore while troubleshooting.
