Hello
About a month ago iv noticed that in rare occasions this bsod would pop up out of the blue and i haven't found any way to fix it. It seems to happen most commonly in Gta 5 on steam while playing. Another problem i found is that no matter what i do no mini dumps appear in its usual plase, il also leave a picture of the bsod on my screen. Thank you

Hi,
to help you best we need to see the actual dump files. As your machine isn't creating them please make sure your settings are set like thus:
Open the run application.
Type sysdm.cpl in the run box and click ok.
Look across the top of the system properties box for 'Advanced' and click that.
Look for 'Startup and Recovery' near the bottom and click 'settings'.
Near the bottom you'll see a drop down menu under the heading 'write debugging information'.
In the drop down menu choose ' small memory dump (256KB)'
Under 'small dump directory' make sure it says %SystemRoot%\Minidump.
Click ok and your good to go.

Other reasons for no dump file can include no pagefile or one that's below 200mb so if you changed it return to default values...
So i finaly made a back up so now how do i clean instal?
 

This is a guide for windows 7. It has various links throughout the guide which should help:
How to Reinstall Windows 7 From Scratch
 

Any idea how to tranfur 500gb of data from one hdd to another that dose not take 10-30 hours?
 

Not really.. it takes as long as it takes i guess.
 

None of the cleaning tools seem to wanna start correctly, im done trying to fix this so im thinking about
Link Removed 1) is that any good of a hard drive beacuse its the only internal drive i can afford right now and it dose not seem to bad. 2) do you know if it comes with windows 7 or other os or do i have to buy a new code?

The drive looks fine although I'd first check there are no limitations with the motherboard your using regarding terabyte drives. Mind you if your already using one then you should be fine but some older components can be a little funny with the larger drives so do check up.

do you know if it comes with windows 7 or other os
You have to supply the os I'm afraid. Do you have a copy of Windows 7?
 

I dont have a windows instal disk and i herd windows discontiued its rivera download for it. I do have a usb with enough space to hold it but i cannot find a place to dlod it from.
 

You shouldn't need to re-install Windows 7, the 7 key should work on Windows 10.

Pretty sure he'd have to upgrade first Neemobeer.

Windows 7 64bit iso is out there to download. I'm just not sure how legal it is. We are not allowed to post links of that nature as it's against the rules of the forum.
 

Well one of the problems is that windows is not recognizing my key (this is my new key and not the one from my last pc) i saw a Microsoft page where you can download but it always come up with error when i post my code and the errors "

I'd do as the advice suggests and call Microsoft. In some cases they will issue you with a new key.
 

will do

You no longer need to do upgrades from 7 or 8 you can go straight to a clean install of 10 with your 7/8 keys
 

Mabey thats why it dose not detect my key il report back when i go down to get it in about an hour.

Apologies.. your correct. Damn I missed that one.
