    For drive performance aim for 20 - 25 % free space.
    Windows will automatically delete Memory dump files when free space is < or = 25 GB.
    Windows upgrade may fail if free space is < 20 GB.

    For a 125 GB drive 25% free space is 31 - 32 GB.
    During the troubleshooting process please maintain free space so that it is 30 - 35 GB or more.

    There are 3 methods to turn off or recover from using Windows driver verifier.
    All methods use the Windows advanced troubleshooting menu.
    1) startup options (not startup repair) > click restart > select #6 safe mode with command prompt > type:
    verifier /reset
    2) command prompt > Administrator X:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe > X:\Sources> type:
    verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail
    3) system restore
    The methods used to turn off Windows driver verifer should be used in the above order. Only advance to the next method if the prior method fails. Using system restore often leads to a loss of the dump file and little progress is made in the troubleshooting.

    When you feel comfortable using the tool and have made a brand new restore point you can start using it.
    For any BSOD > run the beta log collector > post a zip into the thread.
    log collector v2-beta08.zip

    Finally got around to turn on driver verifier. Got BSOD before Windows finished loading.
    Here's log collector output: SIURBLYS (2018-05-01 00 54).zip

    1) Please increase the free space on the Windows drive so that there is > 30 GB available.
    At some point a memory dump may be needed for troubleshooting.

    Code: Event[870]: Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-WER-SystemErrorReporting Date: 2018-05-01T00:25:26.062 Event ID: 1018 Task: N/A Level: Information Opcode: N/A Keyword: Classic User: N/A User Name: N/A Computer: SIURBLYS Description: The dump file at location: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP was deleted because the disk volume had less than 25 GB free space.[/quote]


    2) Uninstall Virtual Box > restart Windows driver verifier to see if there are other misbehaving drivers.
    3) If you need to use virtual box then reinstall it.

    VBoxDrv.sys
    VirtualBox
    Downloads – Oracle VM VirtualBox

    4) In the left lower corner search type: msinfo32
    Save as NFO > zip > post a one drive or drop box share link into the thread.
