Stop code from .dmp file?

Question

I have a .dmp file that a user emailed me and we are both running Windows 7. What is the easiest way to translate/retrieve the Stop code from the file?

Answer 1

Microsoft has a tool called Dumpchk.exe. Although this was aimed primarily at the XP/Vista community, I have used it pn machines upto and including Win 7. This might be worth taking a look at.

Analyze it with Windbg from the Debugging tools. Microsoft explained it in this Video:
