Here is the link for the debugging tools:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/debugging/default.mspx
Here is the command line that I use with it:
windbg -y SRV*c:\symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols -i c:\i386 -z
C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini092903-02.dmp
that is using the default minidump directory and using a symbol path of C:\symbols.
The symbols are dld from the url you see. This will give you the information you
need. A lot of times I get "memory_corruption" as the cause. Sometimes i get win32k.sys
sometimes nv4_disp.dll
I am still narrowing down the problem. Good luck!
