5. However, if the issue still persists, send us the MEMORY.DMP file from the location C:\Windows\ on your PC. Please upload it to a file-sharing service, like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. and share the link with us.

Please check the date and time of the file before sending it, to ensure that it is indeed the latest file created just after the restart of your PC.
