You may have bigger issues than looking at the dump files. If your PC can't boot there's a hardware error going on. FIrst read through the suggestions here:

 

At the very least you need to boot off a USB flash drive or plug the hdd in another computer to recover the files.

How large is the Sysnative tool app?

 

What if my PC does not have enough space?

What if the BSOD is a driver problem?

Will Sysnatve tell me that?

Won’t visit often..

166.46 KB according to Sysnative.

That is probably causing your BSODs. /s All joking aside, if you are seriously out of space, then that is outside the scope of this thread... Upgrade to a bigger storage device (HDD/SSD) or remove unneeded files with the built in Disk Cleanup Utility.

 

If this question has another implied meaning that you do not want to use the Sysnative app due to concerns, then you can follow method B in my OP which outlines manually copying the dump files by yourself without the use of the app.

That is actually expected, most BSODs are caused by 3rd party drivers (not developed my Microsoft) ie: AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, Relatek, Nvidia, etc.

The app will not tell you whats causing the BSOD. It collects the DUMP file created during a BSOD plus additional system info related to the BSOD and packages it into a .zip You then upload the zip file in your own forum post here, or elsewhere, and someone who knows how to use the Microsoft Debugging Tools for Windows (WinDbg) will load the DUMP file and look data as to pipoint the reason why the BSOD occurred. WinDbg is specialized software that can interpret the information collected during a BSOD.

 

If you are curious as to see what someone like myself would see when we look at these files and spinets of data from the Kernel, drivers, memory, etc, it would like like this:

18697d1431201493-windbg-basics-debugging

 

18697d1431201493-windbg-basics-debugging

 

Images taken from TenForums because I cant locate my post detailing how to use WinDBG here on LTT.

Hi, I have almost never faced BSODs before, but with my new computer I am having these issues almost every 10-15 minutes. I have also tried re-installing windows and windows reset without success. Should I start a thread to get help or something else ? I can attach photos I clicked but my resource monitor is not working.

Forum Specific Instructions for Posting BSODs:

If you are encountering BSODs and are asking for help in the troubleshooting sub forum here in LTT, there are some things we need you to do to help us help you!
First, we need the dump files produced by Windows at the time of the blue screen. The dump files contain information about what possibly caused the BSOD and also contains debugging information.

 

To obtain these file(s) follow either Method below:

 

Method A

  Reveal hidden contents

DISCLAIMER

  Reveal hidden contents

The following "tool" (Sysnative BSOD Dump + System File Collection App) is not my own, nor does it have any association with LTT or the LTT STAFF.

Method A has been adapted by myself (@ionbasa) from the Sysnative forum thread here: http://www.sysnative.com/forums/bsod-crashes-kernel-debugging/68-blue-screen-of-death-bsod-posting-instructions-windows-10-8-1-8-7-vista.html 
  
The Sysnative tool is working property of Sysnative and its authors

 

If you have any objections to using the aforementioned app, there are instructions below on how to alternatively grab the needed files manually.

  1. Download the Sysnative BSOD Dump + System File Collection App here: http://www.sysnative.com/apps/SysnativeBSODCollectionApp.exe
  2. Run the app - Double-click on the downloaded application file. Give the application ample time to collect the necessary files and system information, this may take up to 10-15 minutes, please be patient! Here is a screenshot showing the utility in action:rUBtSUp.png
  3. Once the tool finishes, bring up an elevated administrative CMD prompt: 
    

Windows 7 & Vista - START | type cmd.exe into the start search box | right-click on cmd.exe | select "Run as Administrator"
Windows 10, 8.1, & 8 - Press WIN +X keys | select "Command Prompt (Admin)"

     

  4. Run the following command: 
    

perfmon /report

     

  5. This should bring up the Resource and Performance Monitor, as follows: TSR5fVO.png
  6. Once PERFMON has finished collecting data for 60 seconds, save the output by selecting: File | Save As | Save as: (Report Files) HTML
  7. Zip up the PERFMON output; create a new thread HERE.

NOTE: Unfortunately, the forum currently forbids that .zip files be uploaded to your post. Therefore an alternate method has to be used to share your two zip files. You will have to use an online file service such as: Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. to share your two zip files. In your post, include a link to the two zip files.

 

NOTE: The app auto-zips the SysnativeFileCollectionApp output folder. It is located in your Documents folder. Windows Explorer should open and highlight the zipped folder.
Please do not modify the output files!

 

INFO:The Sysnative BSOD Dump + System File Collection App does not get installed (it is a stand-alone EXE) nor does it make any changes to the registry. It only creates the SysnativeFileCollectionApp output folder + a zipped version - both located in Documents folder. You can delete them at any time, but we suggest that you wait until our work together is completed before doing so.

 

Method B

  Reveal hidden contents

This Method involves manually copying the dump files.

 

  1. Start by opening Explorer
  2. In the address bar at the top, enter the following folder structure: "%SystemRoot%\Minidump\"  (Without quote marks).
    You should see one or more dump files. If there are none, or the folder cannot be found, then a dump file was not created when Windows blue screened.
  3. Select all the dump files and copy them.
  4. Create a new zip folder on the Desktop and paste the dump files in the zipped folder.
    NOTE: You cannot move the files nor can you use the context menu to "send to zip' or 'send to desktop'! The files have to be manually copied over.
  5. Next, bring up an elevated administrative CMD prompt:  
    

Windows 7 & Vista - START | type cmd.exe into the start search box | right-click on cmd.exe | select "Run as Administrator" 
Windows 10, 8.1, & 8 - Press WIN +X keys | select "Command Prompt (Admin)"

      

  6. Run the following command:  

    

perfmon /report

     

  7. This should bring up the Resource and Performance Monitor, as follows: TSR5fVO.png 

  8. Once PERFMON has finished collecting data for 60 seconds, save the output by selecting: File | Save As | Save as: (Report Files) HTML

  9. Zip up the PERFMON output; create a new thread HERE.

NOTE: Unfortunately, the forum currently forbids that .zip files be uploaded to your post. Therefore an alternate method has to be used to share your two zip files. You will have to use an online file service such as: Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc. to share your two zip files. In your post, include a link to the two zip files.

 

Please also include the following information:

  • OS - Windows 8.1, 8, 7, Vista ?
  • x86 (32-bit) or x64 ?
  • What OS was originaly installed on the system?
  • Is the OS an OEM version (came pre-installed on system) or full retail version (YOU purchased it from a retailer)?
  • Age of system (hardware)
  • Age of OS installation - have you re-installed the OS?
  • CPU model
  • Video Card model
  • MotherBoard - (if NOT a laptop)
  • Power Supply - brand & wattage (if laptop, skip this)
  • System Manufacturer
  • Exact model number (if OEM or laptop)
  • Laptop or Desktop?

Windows 10?

Oh wait, this was before Windows 10.

And anyone know what the INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE stop code means?
I solved it with a reinstall of the OS, but is there anything that I can do to avoid that?

1- Check all the power cables to the hardware AND ALL hardware connection's. (lose cables)

Check the GPU, is it well mounted on your mobo?

 

if all connections are Ok then Goto next:

 

2 --- Reset BIOS to DEFAULT mode.

Power Off and remove all Ram modules except 1 of course.

Leave only 1 ram module on your mobo.

Boot windows in SAFE MODE.

Set the power plan to balanced.

Check in DEVICE MANAGER if there is any exclamation.

If so...right click---uninstall device---install the latest drivers----reboot.

(be sure you installed the right drivers for your hardware).

 

If nothing helps... it's a hardware problem.

 

Good luck 🤞

A BSOD is a kernel panic. Essentially, it's when the underlaying hardware suffers a physical computational error and the math doesn't add up as expected, so the OS pukes and crashes.

 

In Windows at least, you will see a minidump logged for each BSOD event. That's assuming the storage subsystem isn't the root cause as it would also prevent the ability to record the minidump file however.

Power related issues that cause the hardware to turn off without any prior computational fault does not constitute a kernel panic (BSOD) related event.

Is it possible to get these dumps from a PC that won't boot properly? Got a BSOD and it hasn't been operational since. Can only get as far as the troubleshooting option. I get past the bios screen but then Windows seems to have a registry issue and I'm not sure where to go from there.

 

*Edit*

Managed to install Ubuntu but can't find the dump files from there.
