So in the past few days, after upgrading to Windows 10 (ugh, I know) I have been blue screening on an average of once a day while playing video games. I have Windows set to make a dump file (tried both Kernal and Small), but I cannot find and dmp files anywhere in the locations where they are supposed to be. I have been trying to use BlueScreenView, but it cannot even find the .dmp's in either /Minidump or /MEMORY.dmp. How do I find these files? Why have I been BSODing this whole time?
Can't find Windows 10 BSOD dmp files.

It could be possible that is isn't making a minidump.
Do you have pagefiling turned off? If you do turn it back on. No pagefiling = no minidumps
Also what does the BSOD say when it crashes? Is it the same everytime or is it different everytime?
Also check the Event logs after it crashes and see if it has anything in the even logs.

the default location for a mindump would be c:\windows\mindump directory
the default location for a kernel dump is c:\windows\memory.dmp (file)
these can be set to other locations by the user.
you can start cmd.exe as an admin then run
cd c:\
dir /s *.dmp
and it will display all of the memory dumps collected on your local c: hard drive.
The windows error reporting sometimes makes copies and moves them to send them as feedback to microsoft so they can collect failure stats and get vendors to update their drivers.
