I have another post up at winten forums where people are helping me with BSODs on my gaming pc whenever I play games and they suggested I run driver verifier and send them two more bsod minidump files. My question is once I enable driver verifier how long should I wait to disable it? If I don't get a bsod within the first 1 hour of it running should I turn it off and assume my drivers are not the problem since when playing games I always get the bsod within the first 15 minutes. Should I just let my computer sit while driver verifier is enabled or should I play a game on it to try and get that same blue screen again (I have it enabled now and rebooted my computer)?
One more questions, they recommend that I turn off auto restart when I get a bsod, but if I do get a bsod with auto restart disabled how would I boot up again during a bsod? would I just press and hold the power button on the pc?
thanks in advance!!

1You would restart your computer. But I personally wouldn't run driver verifier at all, it's not required, everything can be determine from dmp files – Ramhound – 2016-01-22T04:27:43.863
2@Ramhound no, for such crashes you have to activate driver verifier otherwise you don't get the real cause. – magicandre1981 – 2016-01-22T05:19:13.357
