[litwicki23]

Hello.
Hello. I think i was get bsod but not sure. System was hanged and lags after crash in game to desktop.
After 1 minute i get system reboot ( like power cut ) and logged to system.
Screen from event log:
20:17:30 reported time of unexpected reboot. There was not bugcheck.

Also found file in : windows/livekernelreports/ pow32kwatchdog.dmp.
Time: 20:18:00

When that happened i dont saw a BLUESCREEN on display,only simply reboot. But my question is. Is that file windows/livekernelreports/ pow32kwatchdog.dmp , was related to that unexpected reboot? Thanks

I was running METRO EXODUS 20 hours. After 20 hour i clicked exit to main menu and it crashed with black screen and then desktop. From desktop after 2 minutes i get unexpected reboot. I cant reproduce this anymore, i testing ,left game for many hours and its fine.


It was simply pc reboot from desktop. There is not windows/minidump folder.And not windows/minidump.dmp.

I have found only that file which i posted in first post.
windows/livekernelreports/ pow32kwatchdog.dmp

minidump folder isn't set up by default. system has to be set up to collect it, otherwise it creates a Memory.dmp files but it can get massive so can you follow the 1st post in this thread - https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...nclude-in-blue-screen-of-death-posts.3468965/

can you upload that pow32kwatchdog.dmp file to a file sharing website and show link here? you probably need to copy the file to another folder before you will have permission to upload it, its likely controlled by System user. I am not sure how useful it is but I have found a thread where the windows debugger can read them.
