sometimes my system crashes just after starting but restarts nicely. today i tried to see mini dump file to know the cause of BSOD. but interestingly there is no folder named mini dump in windows folder. what should i do??? should i manually make a folder in windows directory???
Are you getting a BSOD or an automatic restart and assuming you had a BSOD type event? The information on the actual blue screen will give you an error code and a faulting file if there was one. This information is generally more useful than trying to interpret a mini dump. Your mini dump file might be hidden.
^^^ This. If it's set to auto restart on fault, the OP gets no blue screen therefore can't read the screen and see the error number or any faulting file. If a blue screen is displayed what is the error and is there a faulting file listed? Those two data bits are likely a whole lot more meaningful than a mini dump file. To generate a mini dump file, this has always worked for me: ▪ Have the Page file on the same drive as the OS ▪ The Page file's smallest size must be greater than installed physical RAM ▪ Set Windows Error Reporting system to MANUAL ▪ Set page file to system managed, OS drive
