The error message is-

  • There was a problem starting: C:\Users\<Your_User_Name>\App Data\Local\Crash Dumps\AMD\tvzjqlnhf.dll
  • The specified module could not be found.

Sometimes, corruption in the Windows Registry leads to such uncalled for errors. The most logical way to guard against such situations is to keep the system Registry cleaned up of junk entries as well as defragmented once awhile.
