>>>>First, thank you for the information. Do I understand correctly that the log file format (that BSOD creates) is not a text but such format that only "specialized" viewer can read?
>>>
>>>It is not plain text, you'll need a reader AFAIR (I had problems with W7 when I installed it some years ago, there is when I learned about this minidumps and their readers, since then my problem dissapeared (was memory) and I never used again, so I do not remember much about it)
>>
>>Thank you again. If this BSOD happens again, I will take a picture of the screen and then Google for more information. And if that does not work will download the reader. (and to be honest I am not staying away from using VS2012; I decide to switch to Edlin for my ASP.NET development <g>; I am so scared of BSOD)
>
>I wouldn't wait for another BSOD, the reader is free and the dump files are still there, you can start analyzing right away, it is fun!!! :)
We all have grown so much <g>. I remember when analyzing BSOD dump file was the last item on my list of fun things to do :)).
