Hello
I have been a member of this forum for a while. I originally joined when I had unusual problems on my PC.
Now I want to give back. I can help with BSOD analysis, as the .dmp file resulting from a Kernel, Memory or mini-dump.
I haven't seen a separate forum board dedicated to BSOD analysis, so maybes an admin can direct, me in the right way.
For those wondering what tools I use.
Windbg (Part of the Debugging tools for Windows): gives a pretty accurate result fast
Visual Studio 2008: Slower and more complex but can narrow it down when Windbg can't.
The symbol files for both come from a local store of the XP symbols and the Microsoft Symbol Server.
