Quick summary and practical plan for : the minidumps you posted implicate the graphics subsystem (dxgmms1.sys appears) but several different bugchecks across the dumps mean this could be either a flaky graphics driver/GPU or a more general hardware problem (bad RAM, weak/unstable PSU, overheating) rather than a single corrupted Windows file. is right to point at the video stack; is also right to highlight memory-type causes; and ’s suggestion to undo recent changes is a good first move.

Priority checklist (do these in order, backing up important data first)

  • Boot into Safe Mode. If Windows is stable there, suspect drivers or software; if it still crashes, suspect hardware.
  • Clean reinstall the graphics driver: uninstall in Safe Mode (use a clean-uninstall tool if comfortable), then install the latest vendor driver for your exact GPU/OS. If the problem started after a driver update, try rolling back.
  • Run extended memory and disk checks (see commands below). Faulty RAM or disk errors will produce varied BSOD codes.
  • Check GPU health: monitor temperatures, reseat the card and power connectors, ensure PSU capacity is adequate, and run the vendor’s diagnostics or a short GPU stress test.
  • If you’re comfortable with advanced tests, use Driver Verifier to catch bad drivers — but be careful: it intentionally causes BSODs while testing. Know how to disable it from Safe Mode.

Helpful commands and notes (run from an elevated command prompt)

mdsched.exe
chkdsk /f /r C:
sfc /scannow
verifier /standard /all   (advanced; use verifier /reset to disable)

If you want deeper dump analysis, open the minidumps with WinDbg and run !analyze -v; third‑party tools (e.g., WhoCrashed) are handy but can point at Microsoft modules when a third‑party driver is the real cause. If hardware tests fail or the system is unstable after these steps, try swapping RAM sticks or the GPU with known-good parts or consult a repair shop.

Try removing recently installed hardware and software.
Try System Restore.

As already posted to your original post on the same topic (you really don't need to ask the SAME question... be patient and you WILL get n answer!!!)

Three options, all referring to memory-type errors:

  • Faulty or mis-matched RAM
  • Corrupted/faulty page-file (virtual memory) - this can can be fixed by manually setting a higher-than-max required page-file size
  • faulty hardware drivers

NB: the "0×000000D1" error code way the real clue ;) Do a Google search for that error code for further info

Hey buddy. Have already tried to point him in the right direction (the big clue is in the error code "0×000000D1"), but rather than actually listening, he just keeps posting the same question expecting a different answer. If he doesn't want to help himself at all, you might as well give up!

dxgmms1.sys is the file at fault here. A search revealed this to be a fille associated with the graphics card. I would

  • Update the drivers
  • Run any GFX card diagnostics provided
  • Update DirectX

See if this helps.
