Windows PC BSOD ?

So lately my PC has been blue screening randomly, and honestly I don't know how to create the dump thing after Windows blue screens.
I did sfc /scan now a few days ago and it did find some corrupted files and they were "fixed" but today, actually before I decided to post here, the PC blue screened.
Also should mention the temps are all fine.

    1. Reboot your computer: After a blue screen, the system usually tries to reboot automatically.
    If stuck at the blue screen screen, long press the power button to force the computer to shut down and reboot.
    2. Enter Safe Mode: Reboot your computer and press F8 or Shift + F8 at startup to enter Advanced Boot Options.
    Select “Safe Mode” to start and check if the problem still exists.
    3. Update the driver: Open “Device Manager”, check if any device shows a yellow exclamation mark.
    Right-click on the device and select “Update Driver”.
    Visit the hardware manufacturer's website to download the latest drivers.
    4. Check for Windows updates:
    Open “Settings” > “Update & Security” > “Windows Update” and install all available updates.
    5. Uninstall problematic software:
    If the blue screen occurs after installing some software, try uninstalling it:
    Open Control Panel > Programs and Features and uninstall the recently installed software.
    6. Reset or reinstall the system:
    If the problem is still not solved, you can try to reset the system:
    Open “Settings” > “Update and Security” > “Recovery” and select “Reset this computer”.
    Or reinstall Windows using the installation media.
