Windows 10: Random BSOD no Memory.dmp being created, Pagefile not big enough

I am getting a BSOD every 3 or so days seemingly randomly, but whenever they happen recovery screen gets stuck at 0% and freezes completely. No dump files gets generated. Before I can fix the BSOD I need to be able to get a dmp file. I have looked into windows not generating a memory.dmp which brought me to verifying my System failure settings were correct which they are Imgur: The magic of the Internet. However when I close that window I get this pop-up Imgur: The magic of the Internet . I then double check my pagefile settings which are you can see Imgur: The magic of the Internet . At this point I am pretty stuck

Best pagefile size for Windows 10 x64 OS

Thank you for the reply! Sorry, I didn't understand well your last sentence, what could be the cause for BSOD and/or potential harm? Or you meant that you understood I ask about BSOD issue and advise me to not looking for resolving in pagefile settings?

I don't know what means to build the crash dumps and how to analyze them. Probably means to set files not to be overwritten?

In my case better to leave DMP to automatic and pagefile to system-managed with 704 MB or to set DMP to complete memory dump and reset again pagefile to system-managed and it probably to create a bigger pagefile?

 

Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:

1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
3. Restart Windows.

I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?

 

BSODs with corrupt pagefile - Is That Possible?

Past couple of days I have been having random BSODS. A few examples of the messages was - Memory management / IRQL less than or equal to/ Thread could not be activated/ Page Pool something or other.

First BSODS I have had on this relatively new system so decided to take everything back to stock and test each part. I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit BTW.

HDtune error check - fine
Memtest86 - 10 passes fine
Prime 95 - 7hrs overnight fine
Graphics card - furmark/3DMark fine

Go to play a bit of WOW last night and it locks up straight away with memory management issue. So I looked into it a bit and read that it could possibly be a virtual memory/pagefile issue and that if it is corrupted it may cause these issues.

I then set the pagefile to zero and enabled clear pagefile on shutdown in the registry. When it rebooted I let the amount be set by Windows and disabled the registry entry for clearing it on shutdown and will see how it goes.

I had never heard of this issue before causing BSODS, is it common and what should be the next step if I get another one today with the new pagefile in place?
