My pc crashes randomly when I start a game,watch YouTube or do nothing.
I've reverted to older Nvidia drivers since I got told new ones could be the issue

fair vessel May 12, 2025, 10:22 AM

#

what nvidia drivers

#

the one i sent?

fresh star May 12, 2025, 10:23 AM

#

Yeah

#

I used ddu and all

#

Didn't even install Nvidia app

#

Is there a way to send you the errors and you can see the issue?

#

I did it once 2 years ago idk how

fair vessel May 12, 2025, 10:24 AM

#

yes

#

Go to C:\Windows\Minidump and check if you have any minidump files. If you do, go back to the Windows folder and copy the Minidump folder itself to the Downloads folder (You can use the desktop if you don't have OneDrive syncing files). Zip the copied folder and attach it to a post. Please follow the instructions to the letter as Windows doesn't like you messing with files in this location.

@fresh star From the dump files it looks like faulty storage.

#

It would be the drive with the page file if you have lots of drives.

#

If you aren't sure which drive has the page file, use this command in Powershell:
Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_PageFileUsage -Property *
We are only interested in the location here, nothing else. So if it says "C:\pagefile.sys", it's on C:.

lime roost <@1192836359946260500> From the dump files it looks like faulty storage.

Oh ik the storage yeah it's cause I switch out hdd

#

Ik that makes pc crash cause I do it

#

But

#

There's a diff issue

lime roost May 12, 2025, 4:34 PM

#

When you say HDD, you mean that as general storage or a hard drive?

#

Most people have SSDs for their OS now, and the page file is usually on the same drive as the OS.

fresh star May 12, 2025, 5:28 PM

lime roost When you say HDD, you mean that as general storage or a hard drive?

I run a ssd for os but hdd for games and I sometimes swap hdd when pc is on so I can play other games yk

#

I'm missing an extra sata cable

lime roost May 12, 2025, 5:29 PM

#

Check which drive the page file is on using that command

#

Because it's more likely the SSD

fresh star May 12, 2025, 6:14 PM

#

How do I check that?
