Please note that Driver Verifier may need to be left running for up to 72hrs, you should use the computer as you normally would and DV will not affect this unless a BSOD occurs.Īnd I start to think that it might be a Mobo issue. If your system does BSOD while the Driver Verifier is running, please retrieve the dump file from c:\windows\minidump and attach it to your next reply. All future BSOD dumps must be VERIFIER_ENABLED_MINIDUMPs - otherwise the dump(s) are of no use The Driver Verifier needs to run as long as possible - even if the status screen appears clear. To turn Driver Verifier off - verifier /reset then re-boot type verifier /query (in a cmd/DOS screen) Choose the restore point that you created in step #1.Boot into SAFEMODE - tap the F8 key repeatedly during boot-up.After re-start, you may not be able to log on to normal Windows If the Driver Verifier (DV) finds a violation, it will result in a BSOD Check ALL boxes where "Microsoft" IS NOT the Provider Click on the Provider heading - sorts list by ProviderĦ.

Your RAM is shown to be working in dual channel mode in Speccy which means that the sticks are in the correct slots.Īs explained above freezing and crashes are two different things, did you get any BSOD, if yes can we have the crash dmps, if no, check the Event Viewer logs where I suspect you may get a kernel error 41 error or similar.
