Windows 10: Cannot install dumpchk

Background


I am experiencing lockups / freezes on my new PC. It started quite recently, and is reliably happening every 20 or so minutes while playing Factorio. The screen goes dark, the PC continues to "work", but the game audio ends, and eventually it restarts, the bios claims there was an unsuccessful POST attempt, and when I reboot, everything is back to normal.


Any help debugging would be helpful. However, I'm asking specifically about reading the DumpStack file I found in c:\, which I cannot do until I install DumpChk, which I am not able to do, for some reason.


Here's what I tried to do to install DumpChk.exe. It didn't seem to work:


I followed the directions here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/troubleshoot-windows-freeze


Which led me to here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk/


I downloaded the installer, 'winsdksetup.exe', and ran it. It prompted me for a folder, I unselected anything but the debug tools, and let it run.


In the folder I selected, we have:


Mode LastWriteTime Length Name
---- ------------- ------ ----
d----- 2/18/2021 8:06 AM Installers
d----- 2/18/2021 8:06 AM Redistributable
-a---- 2/18/2021 8:06 AM 54018 UserExperienceManifest.xml
-a---- 2/18/2021 8:05 AM 1354648 winsdksetup.exe


Nowhere in any directory is any DumpCheck.*


There *IS* another .msi that looks close:


./Installers/X64 Debuggers And Tools-x64_en-us.msi


Running this brings up an installer, which closes without doing anything. The status bar runs fast, I can't see the text on the dialog, and it's gone.


For fun, I tried running every installer in "Installers". Nada.


DumpChk is still an unrecognized command

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

Insurgency wont install and run for me....

I have played and have fully updated CS and Half life 2....
I am using the newest client and installed the SDK.

I am completely blown away, if i click the desktop icon it starts the sdk and then closes, and it doesn't show up in my game list...

First mod attempt install here, followed the directions step by step on the mods website...

Any ideas?
