Finally got around to turn on driver verifier. Got BSOD before Windows finished loading.For drive performance aim for 20 - 25 % free space.
Windows will automatically delete Memory dump files when free space is < or = 25 GB.
Windows upgrade may fail if free space is < 20 GB.
For a 125 GB drive 25% free space is 31 - 32 GB.
During the troubleshooting process please maintain free space so that it is 30 - 35 GB or more.
There are 3 methods to turn off or recover from using Windows driver verifier.
All methods use the Windows advanced troubleshooting menu.
1) startup options (not startup repair) > click restart > select #6 safe mode with command prompt > type:
verifier /reset
2) command prompt > Administrator X:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe > X:\Sources> type:
verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail
3) system restore
The methods used to turn off Windows driver verifer should be used in the above order. Only advance to the next method if the prior method fails. Using system restore often leads to a loss of the dump file and little progress is made in the troubleshooting.
When you feel comfortable using the tool and have made a brand new restore point you can start using it.
For any BSOD > run the beta log collector > post a zip into the thread.
