    I have found the log in C:\windows\minidump and need to look at the file. I want to use BlueScreenView v1.31 from
    Blue screen of death (STOP error) information in dump files.
    Is this a good tool for this purpose?
    I was looking at a flash video on you tube and resized the flash window in mid stream... Thanks josea

    Yes go ahead and use bluescreenview, I use it as well. It reads the dmp files and tells you which system files caused or are related to the crash.

    Thanks so much, If the tool I just grabbed from here does not work for me I will try it.
    Driver Developer Resources: Debugging Tools for Windows
    Whew, could not figure out M$ solution...
    NICE, I got version 1.31 BSV and it works great.
    The whole story - In IE 8 watching Flash video (windowed)- clocked to 125/200 with AMD tool, black screen appeared on entire screen, pulled up clock tool- reset to default clocks - Blue screened but did recover and was able to shudown normally. Stock VBIOS and GPU driver.
    Can someone glance at the zipped .dmp file attached, I looked at it but could not decipher? Thanks, J

    Can you post the info that bluescreenview gave you? What was the error message and stop code, and what dll or sys file triggered it? (I don't have windows to look at it from here).

    DirectX calling the display driver...crashed in the driver. Tried to recover but was unable to.

    Could be caused by anything from bad driver to bad clock settings.

    Why are you on the stock VBIOS and display driver? Trying to be a martyr or something? :)

    Do you have hardware acceleration turned off for Flash? If not, you should try disabling it - it causes crashes in older drivers. It also can cause crashes when Windows hasn't been updated.
