Minidumps are usually located in a Hidden folder at C:\Windows\Minidumps.
Here's a description of the error message from the Windows Debugging Tools Help files:
This is an error reported from outside of Windows into the Windows error reports - which makes things a bit more difficult to troubleshoot.
Most instances of this have been solved by a careful review of what drivers had been changed recently. For gaming issues, the predominant "fix" seems to be new graphics drivers (preferably WHQL certified ones).
