The System Error Crash Dump notification has two pretty consistent causes, so if it's been repeatedly happening to you during your games or is just preventing you from getting into one, we have the solutions. Here's everything you need to know about this particular error.
What is the System Error Crash Dump?
The System Error Crash Dump error is a generic term for a few foibles in the code that can lead to the League of Legends game client or game process crashing. This issue is on the client side, unlike server issues, so you have the agency to fix it.
The two most common causes are an issue with corrupted data in your LoL files, or possibly an errant Firewall. In essence, either something in the files on your machine is interfering with the game, or your firewall is stopping the game from being able to communicate with the server properly. For either of these, the solution is luckily straightforward.
