Hi, I Recently started having problems while trying to open certain programmes on my laptop. After opening these programmes the system freezes completly and i have to manualy shutdown the laptop via the Turn on/off button. I have looked around on the internet for similar problems and i have found alot of the same problem for lots of differnt programmes ( most of the same programmes i am having problems with). I have also noticed that the problem for most of the issues i have looked at on the internet all started around january time, which was when my problem also started. The programmes i am trying to open are: Livezilla. Imesh and Bearshhare. Steam. I have an Asus G72GX with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Does anyone know what is going on? or does anyone else have this problem. Sorry if someone else has posted this, i couldn't find it.

Please use Microsoft Skydrive to upload dump files (c:\windows\minidumps) and post the link here so that I upload them and determine the cause of crashes.

I do not have the minidumps directory?

Follow these steps to collect the minidumps: 1. Click "Start", input "SYSDM.CPL" (without quotation marks) in the “Search” bar and press “Enter”. 2. Switch to the "Advanced" tab and click the "Settings" button under "Startup and Recovery". 3. Under "Write debugging information" section, make sure the "Small memory dump (128KB)" option is selected. 4. Make sure "%SystemRoot%\Minidump" is in the "Small dump directory" open box and click “OK”. If the issue appears again, please refer to the following steps to collect memory dump files: 1. Click “Start”, type “%SystemRoot%\Minidump" (without quotation marks) in “Search” bar and press “Enter”. 2. Go to your Desktop, right-click on it and create a new folder named "Dump". 3. Copy all the memory dump files (looks like [Mini092008-01.dmp]) in Minidump to this folder. 4. Right-click on the Dump folder, click "Send To", and click "Compressed (zipped) Folder". Upload the file using SkyDrive, make it in a public folder.

I already had it set to this, put it still does not create any dumps and the directory isn't there. So i tried creating the directory and then I made my system crash on purpose to see if it created one and it still doesnt. does anyone know why my system isn't creating them. Thanks, Adam
