Solved How Do You Understand a Minidump File?

  • 3

I am looking for more info on minidump files. I understand they can be used to troubleshoot a BSOD. What programs can be used to read them and once you are able to read them, how exactly do you understand what you are looking at? Like what kind of things would indicate a problem? Thanks

  1. You need tools. I use WinDbg, which is part of the Windows SDK, but setup’s a pain, and it’s pretty heavy duty if all you’re doing is looking a minidumps. I’ve seen applications dedicated to minidump analysts, but I’ve never personally used them.

    Still, if you want to go the WinDbg route, I can help you set it up.
