Hey everyone! I'm in desperate need of some help with my new PC that has been crashing with the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) consistently for the past month. I set up all the parts brand new in June, and it seems like everything is working fine according to various hardware checks I've done, plus I even completely reinstalled Windows. I've brought it to local professionals who couldn't find any issues either; they even ran a game on it overnight without crashes. The tricky part is that my PC doesn't create a crash dump unless I manually trigger a crash. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated! Here are my specs:
- Motherboard: X670E Tomahawk wifi
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12 core
- GPU: RTX 5070
- Cooling: Ice Link Titan 360
- PSU: Corsair 1000e
- 32GB RAM
- SSD: Samsung 990 Evo 2TB

Yeah, I feel for you! I had a similar issue before. It’s frustrating when dump files don’t get created at all. Have you checked your system settings to confirm that it’s configured to create those dumps during crashes? Also, check if your RAM is properly seated and try running a memory test. Sometimes, hardware issues can be elusive.
First off, you need to get those dump files to analyze what’s causing the BSOD. If you can boot into Windows normally or use Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any files there. If you find some, copy them to your desktop, zip the folder, and upload it to a file sharing site like mediafire or catbox.moe. Having multiple dump files helps diagnose the issue better, so if you don't see anything, make sure to follow the guide to configure Windows to create Small Memory Dumps instead. That way, you'll have more data to work with!
Dump files aren’t being created, which is the problem! It would be super helpful if they were.
