    Have you done all the steps I mentioned? If so, just wait until you get a "fresh" BSOD

    Yes I did everything you said. I guess I will wait for a "fresh" BSOD and tell you how it goes.

    Your computer should be booting up a bit faster and yes, post any new BSOD's:)

    Yes I have noticed that my computer has been booting up way faster. I'll try to see if I get a fresh BSOD playing a game.

    Okay I just got a BSOD but it says the same thing file not found or no permission, but I just noticed something next to the minidump file there is a little lock icon. I don't know what it means but maybe its the no permission thing?

    Could that be the problem?

    Do you know what the lock thing means?

    Never seen such a thing. What antivirus program are you running?

    None actully. I just do some windows defender scans once in a while.

    Your computer may be infected with malware, especially if you have been online for a while without any antivirus software active

    Should I just wipe and install?

    If you can... don't forget to do all the updates and the antivirus and temp file cleaner installs
