  1. First BSOD On One Month Old Laptop

    @Win7ine Thanks. I will take a look at that program. Of the 56 external drives I have, only a maximum of two are connected to my laptop at any one time. I have explained why I used the USB Safely Remove program in my answer to zbook a few minutes ago. Please read it, and if you have any...

  2. First BSOD On One Month Old Laptop

    @zbook Well, fellas, that took a bit to read through. The two external drives, "Harddisk1" and "Harddisk2" referenced by their serial numbers, are the ones I use the most. I assume the Samsung internal SSD would show as Harddisk0. Correct? I use one daily and the other a few times a week. I...

  3. First BSOD On One Month Old Laptop

    @zbook I run Hard Disk Sentinel Professional v6.30.2 at startup. It constantly monitors all my drives. It has saved me from losing data over the years from a couple of failing drives. One internal & one external. I respectfully decline to do all of the testing required, as it requires me to...

    @Ben Myers That worked, dumb me lol. Notepad said the 2.62 GB MEMORY.DMP was too large for Notepad, but it opened the 3.37 MB MINI.DMP I understood very little of what was in the file. Note To Self ... leave it to the experts.

  6. First BSOD On One Month Old Laptop

    I bought this laptop one month ago. It has worked well. Two days ago, it experienced its first BSOD. It happened when I used a program that I have used daily for a few years. I have used this program on my previous laptop, and using it never triggered any BSOD. It may well be a complete...

    @KevTech That triggered a memory! I see I have that program, even though I have never installed it. It was recommended by APC Magazine, December 2020 #513 Time for me to sign off for a while.

    I will do so tomorrow, as my free time for today is expiring soon. Life gets in the way :) Thanks for your offer.

    "They are in Micro-speak. LOL" Completely understand. A few years ago, I looked inside some .dmp files. I exited before my eyeballs spun out of their sockets. lol.

    @Ghot, what is the advantage of changing "Write debugging information" to "Small memory dump (256 KB)." It was set to "Kernel memory dump". I assume the "Kernel memory dump" is the default setting.

    This is the first time I have heard of the term "base filtering engine". What does it do & where is it? Thanks for your reply. Edit. Found out what it is. It is running & set to Automatic.

    @Ghot, thanks for your reply. I have changed "Write debugging information" to "Small memory dump (256 KB)." It was set to "Kernel memory dump". I will have a go at reading the Memory. dmp file myself, as I have lots of time on my hands and like to keep my brain active by trying things I have...

  13. I Am The Administrator But Am Told I Do Not Have Permission To Open A File.

    I bought a new laptop a few weeks ago, and it was working fine until it suddenly gave me a BSOD (now black, not blue, as Microsoft changed the colour). It disappeared after a few seconds, before I could read what was at the bottom of the screen. I have now changed the setting so it does not...

    Thanks for your answer. I take it then that there is no workaround to bypass that prompt for this one particular action?
