I get the BSOD and the error says stop code system service exception NETIO.SYS failed. I would start by posting the full memory dump but even though I have it set to create a full memory dump, it does not seem to be creating any. Please help. I am a one-man shop working on deadline.

Some of the reasons dumps don't get created - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/130536/windows-does-not-save-memory-dump-file-after-a-crash

Netio.sys is associated with LAN drivers so try updating your LAN drivers on motherboard/WIFI card (whichever you use)

if you can get dumps working, and lan drivers don't fix it, Can you follow option one here
and then do this step below: Small memory dumps - Have Windows Create a Small Memory Dump (Minidump) on BSOD

that creates a file in c windows/minidump after the next BSOD
copy that file to documents
upload the copy from documents to a cloud server and share the link here and someone with right software to read them will help you fix it :)
 
you will need to go the motherboard vendors website to get the LAN driver update.
Windows update does not update most LAN drivers.
if you have a usb wireless driver you might have to update the BIOS, USB 3.0 chipset driver and the CPU chipset driver.
(it can also be a Bluetooth driver if you have a Bluetooth network)

often,if you provide the actual memory dump file (c:\windows\minidump directory)
someone can use the windows debugger and read the file name and tell you where to get the driver



 
I see that I have a C, D, and E drive and that the paging file appears to be on the D drive. I assume from the information at the one link you provided that this makes creating a dump file in the C root impossible. If I am right, is there a simple solution without changing the allocation of the paging file to the D drive?
 
most of the time people just look in the wrong directories.
for a kernel memory dump it is stored at c:\windows\memory.dmp FILE
for a mini memory dump it is stored with a date and number for the file name in this directory
C:\windows\minidump (directory)

I thought newer versions of windows could use a non system partition pagefile and still store memory dumps at the location the user specifies in the user interface. ie hidden pagefile on drive d: but still use the default memory dump location. (but I have not tried this since I am just using the default settings)

I would just add a second pagefile to your drive c: with the minimum size. (I might use paged pool size +non paged pool size from task manager->performance-> memory about 450MB on my laptop)

older verisons of windows might require the pagefile to be on the system drive (c:\)



 
Is there a secure free cloud server service to share the minidump doc file on? Can you name one or two? I’m not crazy about Dropbox if that is an option; it’s not terribly secure.

BTW, this PC is HP OMEN 870 Ultra Performance VR Ready Desktop PC (Intel Core i7-7700K Liquid Cooled CPU, 8GB GDDR5X NVIDIA GTX 1080 Graphics, Windows 10 Professional, 512GB SSD + 3TB 7200RPM Storage, 64GB DDR4 RAM), in case it helps.
