This has been going on for about a month. After ten minutes idle, I get a random blue screen. 8 passes of memtest yielded no errors. How many of the 42 .dmp files should I send and how should I send them?
Thanks in advance

I tried repeating the process and now it's not outputting a zipped folder at all.
Check the operating system:
Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
1) sfc /scannow
2) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

1) What history if any is there of:
a) hardware problems
b) software problems
c) malware
2) Open administrative command prompt and type: chkdsk /scan
Please post the results of this scan into the thread.
3) make a back up image with Macrium:
Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free
4) back up your files
5) create a restore point
6) find a flash drive that you can format
7) create a bootable windows 10 iso: Download Windows 10
8) Plan to perform an in place upgrade repair. You should be able to save files and applications.

It should create a folder called: "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\TFdebugFiles. It's then supposed to write all the generated log files there then zip that folder to the desktop.
Run it again, but don't press Enter when it's done. Instead, look on your Desktop for a TFdebugFiles folder. See if you can find the files that way and zip them yourself.
I built this computer in December. There have been no major hardware, malware, or outstanding software issues as far as I can tell (well, my ram might not be able to clock at the speed it says it can, but it seems stable running below 2133mhz currently). Also, the first time trying the posting tool again just yielded two empty folders before nothing at all on consecutive tries.
