    Log Collector Fails


    Hello!
    When I run the log collector and press a key when it says to, a command prompt appears but almost instantly disappears as a bunch of lines quickly flash by. After, there is a folder on my desktop called TF debug files but it is full of empty text files. A text file called 'temp' also appears, it has the statement "'reg' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file." repeated 6 times. There is also a script called _zipit created.
    I have tried redownloading the collector and running as an administrator.

    Thanks!

    Please right click on the file that you downloaded and make sure the details tab looks like this. If it doesn't you may have a corrupted download.

    Hi Jeffsun13,

    We currently are working on an updated version of the log collector, right now it is still in beta, but we'd like you to try it to see if it resolves the problem.

    For now it's not in a nice .exe format, but it is still pretty straightforward to run. Right-click the .zip, select "extract all" then in the new extracted folder double-click "log-collector" to run it.

    I attached the zip, but the log collector still gave an error after every line, in the form:

    The term 'driverquery.exe' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

    This statement showed for 'powercfg.exe', 'cscript.exe', 'inconfig.exe', 'route.exe', and 'wevtutil.exe'

    That's very strange. Is your account an administrator, or are you elevating with a separate administrator account?

    Please check if the following files exist:

    "C:\Windows\System32\driverquery.exe"
    "C:\Windows\System32\powercfg.exe"
    "C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe"
    "C:\Windows\System32\ipconfig.exe"
    "C:\Windows\System32\ROUTE.EXE"
    "C:\Windows\System32\wevtutil.exe"

    Also please run the following from PowerShell:
    Code:
    echo ($env:path).Replace(';',"`n") > "$home\Desktop\variable-path.txt"
    Code:
    &"$env:SystemRoot\System32\ipconfig.exe" > "$home\Desktop\ipconfig.txt"

    This will place "variable-path.txt" and "ipconfig.txt" on your Desktop, upload both files here or report any errors you run into.

    My account is an administrator, but none of those files exist.

    Jeff,

    It looks like your path environment variable has been overwritten, either manually or when you installed the mathematics packages algs4 and matlab. It's missing the following entries, which would explain why it could not find the executables.

    Code:
    C:\WINDOWS\system32
    C:\WINDOWS
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
    I've updated the script to include fully-qualified paths to each executable called, which should resolve this. Thanks for your help with troubleshooting and patience.

    Also, I assume you are wanting to run this log collector because you are running into a problem with your PC crashing. What issues have you been experiencing with your computer?

    I've been experiencing random BSODs for a while, and I've tried many fixes, including several clean reinstalls of Windows and sending the laptop back into Dell, but nothing has worked. All scans of memory and the SSD have returned no errors or corrupted files. I followed one person's advice and did a clean reset but without installing the driver for Intel Rapid Storage Technology and I no longer got BSODs but it still completely froze my computer until I restarted, just without the blue screens. I ran WhoCrashed, and it said the modules ntoskrnl.exe and ntdll.sys were at fault.

    Notes: No trends for when the BSODs occur, often just when computer is completely idle and doing nothing. I've also had issues with the computer shutting down every time it goes to sleep, crashing while asleep, and not being able to charge, but all of these went away randomly or I fixed them. When BSODs occur, programs stop responding for about 20 seconds, before it shows the BSOD, and the computer tries to restart but fails and gets stuck at the logo screen.

    Thank you so much for your time!

    As a start, there is a new release for your XPS' firmware. Dell marked it as "Urgent" and list "System stability enhancements" in the change log. Even if this does not resolve the issue, I am certain Dell support will request you do this before they will assist you further.

    Looking at the crash dump, have you noticed that most blue screens are showing "Critical Process Died" or are they across the board in their error messages? Unfortunately the minidump did not contain much information, and it would help if we could get the full dump. However the full memory dump C:\Windows\MEMORY.dmp is the size of your ram, 8GB, so it may be annoying to upload and download it, even after compressing it.

    You may want to switch your dump type to "Active" which will only store the memory in use, which will generally be a much smaller amount. Here is a guide on changing crash dump settings: Configure Windows 10 to Create Minidump on BSOD BSOD Tutorials

    I also saw that your event log reported some bluetooth issues, have you been noticing problems with that? Here are some examples:

    Oh and here's a fairly good guide on fixing your path environment variables..
