  1. Hoping driver update is not causing the crashes I'm having minidump file available


    Started having random crashes every couple days. There doesn't seem to be any common element behind the crashes, and I'm not doing anything that should be overloading the system when this happens. Usually just got music on in the background while reading something.In the troubleshooting of this, I came across the minidump file being generated, but I'm not really sure how to read it, even with WinDbg.I think it's saying that Chrome is the issue, but I'm not good enough with reading the dump files to be sure.Dump file here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/15pDl25Sk8rirv9IvE4mjPcObL-TBoJf0/view?

    Hoping driver update is not causing the crashes I'm having minidump file available

    nvlddmkm Black Screen PC Crash - hoping for help

    That new minidump file also lists the Nvidia drivers as the cause of that system crash, try a couple of other versions of that driver.
