I'd had one just last night in 8.1, it displayed the driver. Do you have the memory dump turned off, maybe?

- Someone1234 12y ago> Do you have the memory dump turned off, maybe? I don't know what that question relates to? I am talking about lack of information in the BSoD and that the alternative has limitations (e.g. that memory dumps fail sometimes). It wasn't a technical support request. As to Windows 8, last time I had a BSoD it looked more like this: https://i.imgur.com/OFkIvBT.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OFkIvBT.jpg Which has as little diagnostic information as XP and later.
- freehunter 12y agoIf it's a driver that caused the crash, where it says CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION, it will say the name of the driver that crashed.
- freehunter 12y agoI can confirm, my ATI driver continuously crashes and the Win 8.1 blue screen tells me it's ati.sys.
- wlesieutre 12y agoIt's atikmdag.sys for me. Except on occasion when Netflix kills it with a different message (but IIRC related to video decoding, so possibly the ATI driver's fault there too).
- freehunter 12y agoYeah I knew it was ati(something).sys. Couldn't remember it exactly, most of the time when it happens I'm looking at a blue screen but seeing red because I was in the middle of a game when it shut down.
