Sudden and unexpected BSOD on Win10


Hello all,

I have a self-built CP with above average specs running Win10.
Every once in a while I'll get a BSOD when I'm not necessarily doing
anything in particular.
I thought I'd try using a few of the debugging tools to figure out
the problem, but sadly they don't seem to work on Win10.
At any rate, I'd like to find out how to fix the BSODs, so I'd truly
appreciate any advice.

Cheers,

SocAbd

Hi socratesabroad,

Welcome to the 10blog.

Please check {windows partition}windowsminidump and check if there are any dump files saved.
The zip is empty of dump files.
Please make sure your pc is configured for small dump files How to configure minidump | Windows 10 tutorial

Thanks for the reply, axe0.

OK, I checked and there were no minidumps, so I followed your
instructions to configure Win to create them.

I don't know when the OS will crash next so I don't know when
I'll be able to send the minidump.

In the meantime, here's a link to the full memory dump:

It's a pretty big file - 253 MB zipped - and I did try to upload
it this site directly but uploading was taking too long.

The biggest cause is Norton/Symantec (Symantec is the company, Norton the product)
Please follow the uninstall instructions but do NOTinstall Norton again.

I used the tool you mentioned to update my PC specs.

I'll have to think seriously about doing this. I live in China, so firewall/
antivirus software is a necessity. I'll check into software from
other companies.

Use Windows defender the next few months until Norton is more stable.

Hello all,

Well, another BSOD occurred, but this is an error I've never seen before.
