You could impose the creation of another minidump with
ms windows driver verifier, if you prefer to investigate the cause of your BSODs.
Please read
CAREFULLY the following instructions:
- Create a restore point
- Create a system image.
You can follow this tutorial, if you shouldn't know how to do: Using Macrium Free to Backup or Image your drives
- Backup your important files (the files you don't want to lose)
- Read the guide about Driver Verifier - BSOD related - Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7 & Vista (click).
- Read some other tutorials/guides and WARNINGS on internet.
- Unzip on your desktop the file I attached Verifier.zip and then:
- Open an elevated command prompt (right-click on windows start button, click command prompt (admin)
- Type (copy/paste) in it:
Code:
bcdedit /export c:\DEFAULT-BCDedit-SystemStoreContent
powershell -executionpolicy unrestricted "%userprofile%\desktop\EnableVerifier.ps1"
- Press enter
- The previous commands will modify your bcdedit settings, will set the necessary driver verifier settings, will reboot your PC in three minutes (but you can reboot it before).
It will (more precisely):

- export/save your current bcdedit system store content in c:\DEFAULT-BCDedit-SystemStoreContent
- show the current bcdedit content in "BCDoriginal.txt" (in the folder Created-by-verifier-script on your desktop)
- change the
bcdedit {bootmgr} displaybootmenu setting from
No to
Yes
- change the
bcdedit {bootmgr} timeout setting to
30 seconds
- change the
bcdedit bootmenupolicy setting from
standard to
legacy
- show the modified bcdedit content in "BCDmodified.txt" (in the folder Created-by-verifier-script on your desktop)
-
find non-microsoft drivers and set the necessary driver verifier settings
-
restart your PC after three minutes (you can abort this with "
shutdown -a" in an elevated command prompt)
- the boot menu should appear at every restart and it should allow you to select windows advanced boot options (SAFE MODE included).
I've added the parameter
/bootmode ResetOnUnusualShutdown.
This should reset driver verifier settings, if they should cause a BSOD.
You will see something like:
- After the reboot, open a command prompt and check if verifier settings are enabled with this command
Press enter.
If they are enabled, let verifier run from 24 to 72 hours.
If they are not enabled, inform me.
If you'll get a very fast BSOD after you logged into windows, or after some dozens of minutes, the option ResetOnUnusualShutdown (rous) should reset driver verifier settings (and should allow you to boot your machine in a normal state).
But if this won't happen, you'll need to go to safe mode to reset verifier settings.
Once safe mode is available, from an elevated command prompt you'll type:
Press enter.
Sometimes it is necessary to use a system restore point (or a system image).
- If you get a verifier BSOD in next 24-72 hours, post here the new verifier dump; from an elevated command prompt, launch this command:
Code:
md "%userprofile%\desktop\minidump" && copy c:\windows\minidump "%userprofile%\desktop\minidump"
If you won't get BSODs at all, we'll wait the next BSOD in next days/weeks.
When we have finished and hopefully solved the BSOD, to restore the previous bcdedit settings you'll type (copy/paste) in an elevated command prompt:
Code:
bcdedit /import "c:\DEFAULT-BCDedit-SystemStoreContent"
Press enter.
