Windows 10: What causes these dumps?

Hi,I have had an increased amount of blue screens in the past few days. Also an unusual "color fading" where the top of the blue screen slowly blacks out towards the bottom. These are the Dump Files. Anyone knows what the issue could be? Thanks in advance.

Latest update from Windows has caused blue screen of death?!

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

• What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• What is the version of Windows 10 installed on the computer?
  
• Did you reinstall the update and the application after resetting the computer to factory settings?
  

We need crash dumps in order to know what is causing this issue and suggest the appropriate steps to follow.



We have sent you a private message, please reply to the message along with the crash dumps. Dump files can be found in C:\Windows/Minidump/*.dmp.



Meanwhile, I suggest to try with the steps mentioned in the article:
Troubleshoot blue screen errors and see if it works.




We look forward for your reply.

What causes a Physical Memory Dump?

The cause is listed on the blue screen, when booting press F8 and select the option that says "don't reset on BSOD's", not sure what it's called.

Hi Groggubus,

Welcome to the 10forums

Please remove / disable items from the startup in taskmanager
These programs could interfere with the boot process giving you trouble and increase the boot time.

Daemon tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known cause for BSOD's.
Please remove Daemon Tools and run the SPTD pass through remover.

1. Uninstall Daemon Tools
2. Download the SPTD standalone installer and follow these steps:
   • Double click the executable to open it
   • Click on the button shown below

If the button is grayed out, like in the image, there is no more SPTD installation on your system, and you can close the window

Please follow this suggestion for the BSOD

1. Please open BitDefender and go to the modules,
2. Go to the firewall settings,
3. Uncheck 'Block port scans in the network',
4. Reboot your system <-- IMPORTANT
