Good.
Damn. Went 2 weeks without a BSOD until tonight.
1) make a brand new restore point
2) update the Macrium backup image
3) start windows driver verifier
4) for any BSOD post a new zip into the thread.
5) plan to run windows driver verifier for 48 hours.
6) after the last BSOD plan to run windows driver verifier for an additional 36 hours of typical computer use.
Use the driver and test settings in this link:

Use the information in this link to turn off Windows driver verifier:

What's Macrium backup image? I don't use backup software...no need since all the important files are stored an a separate HDD.
As long as you make a new restore point and have files backed up then you can use Windows driver verifer.
A backup image protects everything, personal files and operating system files. I find it more comforting to be able to do an image restore and be back up and running exactly as the computer was at the time the image was created in 20 to 30 minutes rather then have to go through a install and updates, which can take several hours then install all my programs and data. A backup also gives me the drivers I was using at the time the backup was created which can often be critical.
I don't understand why anyone would not want to create image backups on a regular basis.
Just got a BSOD tonight. Not sure if it was related to my previous BSODs, which went away after updating my GPU drivers.
1) Run the beta version of the log collector using extract > open > post a zip into the thread:
log collector v2-beta08.zip
2) Open file explorer > this PC > C: > in the right upper corner search for: C:\windows\memory.dmp > zip > post a link into the thread.
zbook, you left out a step :) . After you zip the memory.dmp, upload it to a file sharing site like OneDrive, then post a link to the file on that site so it can be downloaded.
I figured this forum would not allow a 248MB attachment.
