See if you can recover the minidumps.
Use your favorite undelete program or use Altap - Download - Altap Salamander File Manager
Assuming you use drive c: for OS - select another drive (if you have one) in either the right or left pane, then create a directory called "rest1" (or whatever name you want), [if no other drive, just use c:]; Click on "Plugins" at top, click "Undelete", select drive c: -- progress bar will start for restoring deleted files; upon completion, select {All Deleted Files}; copy all to c:\rest1
Then look for minidumps. You can use Altap to search - CTRL+F; enter *.dmp at top
If found, click on dump file in search window, then click on "Focus" (left-side; middle) - scroll to right - it will tell you the condition of the recovered file.
However many are there, zip them up and attach to your next post.
Run Driver Verifier per my prior post in the interim.
I'll be back tomorrow (Thursday - I am GMT-5) to check and answer your other questions.
Hope all the above makes sense!
Regards. . .
