Default Is there a way to analyse dump file?

Hi
Is there a way to get information what caused a blue screen. I installed new copy of XP Home to a PC yesterday and today I've got blue screen twice. I've heard about dump files. How does it work?

Regards,
Kirret

BSOD occures if the system is overheating, is your CPU or RAM overclocked?

Post your temps.

99% of cases are from overheating problems. As for me, I always got BSOD when unsuccesfully overclocked.
