"Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation." Error and system crash when gaming

All drivers are updated and Windows shows up to date. I thought I fixed the issue by swapping power supplies and everything seemed fine for a week or so but the problem is persistent. I ran dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

> sfc /scannow

> chkdsk /

And there were no errors. Bios is also updated. I still can't get windows to save minidumps or memory dumps when it crashes. I get a critical process died BSOD or just a black screen and I have to manually restart my PC. There's a new V2 log collector file I saved on my new thread.

Off,

As my partner has said, and being myself specialized in this kind of issues, if you've completely reinstalled Windows 10 by doing a Clean Install with Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and the issue still persists, there's not much you'll be able to do software-wise, as it must be a problem that comes from hardware.

Please, check if there's any minidump file (.DMP) in C:\Windows\Minidump. If there is, copy them to the desktop and then upload them to Google Drive, OneDrive or WeTransfer. Share the link with me so I can take a look at them.

I believe that your hard drive may be having issues. First, please run these preliminary steps:

First of all, make sure all Windows Updates are installed, all drivers are updated and BIOS is updated as well, everything with the latest installation possible.

Then, we will do some system files check, and also check the hard drive, just in case. Follow these steps:

1. Press Windows + X and open 'Command Prompt (admin)'. You can as well look for 'cmd' in Search bar, right-click and 'Run as administrator'.
2. In the command prompt, run the following commands:

> dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

> sfc /scannow

> chkdsk /f

Third command may ask you to type Y to reset the computer. Just type Y and then press Enter. I'd recommend you to post some feedback if these commands have fixed anything or not.

Let's see how everything goes. Keep me updated :)

Not exactly sure how I fixed it but after completely reinstalling windows, I let Windows 11 update to 21H2 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22000.613.0. After a restart I updated my Nvidia GPU to 511.79 instead of the newest 512.59 version and reinstalled Warzone to test since I had instant crashes on game start. While that installed I ran driver verifier again for the 3rd time this week and when Warzone finished installing, I loaded into a game. Everything was fine except for some stuttering which I figured was Driver Verifier working in the background. I played waiting for a crash and a minidump file but it never came. No crashes after 7 games. I reset Driver verifier and restarted my PC. Everything is fine now and hasn't crashed once since.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

I understand the issue you have, nothing to worry I am here to help, as per checking the error, the PC might be doing high Disk, CPU, or RAM usage, it can also cause by overheating of the CPU, I know some of these steps are already done, you have just skipped it if you think it will have the same result.

Method 1. Do clean boot:

A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs so that you can determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program.

• In the search box on the taskbar, type msconfig and select System Configuration from the results.
• On the Services tab of System Configuration, select Hide all Microsoft services, and then select Disable all.
• On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select Open Task Manager.
• Under Startup in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then select Disable.
• Close Task Manager.
• On the Startup tab of System Configuration, select OK. When you restart the computer, it's in a clean boot environment.

Method 2. Run memory diagnostic tool: A memory diagnostic tool is a RAM test to check if there are any issues with RAM.

• Press Windows key + R then type in mdsched.exe hit OK then restart the device.

Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

Method 1: My PC crashed just like before when running any games. It runs benchmarks cinebench, OCCT, linepack without any issues. No blue screen usually. Just a complete restart after it crashes.

Method 2: Didn't resolve anything either. No memory errors to report. I've tried swapping memory sticks and running in single channel with either ram stick in. Same resulting crash and restart.

I've reinstalled Windows 11 keeping apps and files. But its still the same. I've ran sfc/ scannow and DSIM restorehealth and neither of those fix anything. No pending windows updates either.
