I would like to be able to be able to google the stop code when a system blue screens. It may point me in the correct direction to diagnosing a computer problem. I have output from using the dumpchk command on a mini dump file. I am pretty lost. what part of this output conains the stop code that is displayed during a blue screen. Any help would be appreciated

C:\Program Files\Support Tools>dumpchk.exe "c:\Documents and Settings\shane\Desk

thanks for the link. I skimmed it the first time(earier today), but now I actually read it(skimmed it better). These seem to de the most significant areas

BugCheckCode 00000023

BugCheckParameter1 000e0100

BugCheckParameter2 f898395c

BugCheckParameter3 f898365c

BugCheckParameter4 eb8fb45d

by the way, this dump file is from a laptop that I worked on several months ago

edit added later//

when I google those codes above I am not getting any results.

This is the section I look at in those.

start end module name

804d4000 806aa280 nt Checksum: 001E311B

The entry under "Start" is the first call it found. The entry under "End" is the second call it found. The module Name "nt" tells me what section of the software the error occured. in This case the NT means it was not software related.

Does the stop code always equal (0x + BugCheckCode) <------concatenate ?

Yeah, I guess. It looks like dumpchk doesn't bother with the hex prefix.

From what I remember about this laptop, it was running XP with an ntfs file system.

Maybe a FAT recovery partition or something? Broken partition table with a ghost FAT partition? I suppose it's possible for the driver to spontaneously combust.

Unfortunately the parameters for 0x23 bugcheck are useless unless you're debugging.

Thanks for your help :-)

This could come in very handy. So long as I am able to google the stop code, which is 0x+bugcheckcode, I can at least make some more accurate guesses when working on peoples computers. If nothing else it looks to my customers like I know something :-)

by the way, my laptop dumped once about 4 months ago. I now have an idea why

The 0x just means that the following code is in Hexadecimal ; so yes in general that is all the difference their is; the 0x to indicate that the stop code is hexadecimal.
