  • What's the hard disk model? Minidump files are usually stored in C:\Windows\Minidump. If you don't get any, that could mean the file system and/or the disk aren't healthy. Open a command prompt as administrator and run this command: chkdsk /r. You'll be asked to perform a full disk check at next boot. Restart Windows, and report back any errors that may be detected. Check the event logs too. Also, disable the automatic restart option, and post here the blue screen technical details.

  • The default is supposed to be in a folder called %systemroot%\Minidump\ (normally C:\Windows\Minidump). The folder only gets created when a BSOD occurs. This folder may be a system folder so ensure that your explorer settings are set to allow you to view system and hidden folders.
