Q: the system crashed with bugcheck (some number), what is wrong?
A: you have to run windbg on either the live system while it is in the
bugcheck or the crash dump produced by the bugcheck. You must have the
proper symbols installed, or you are wasting your time. Use the ‘!analyze
-v’ command to understand more about the cause of the bugcheck. This will
frequently produce a stack strace (of course only if you bothered to install
the correct symbols) that will get you very close to a root cause
understanding of the problem. In addition, the windbg help files include a
comprehensive list of bugcheck codes, many with a detailed description of
possible causes and/or potential next steps to take to analyze the problem.
As always, when testing a system, assume that your code is the bad code
until you have proven otherwise.
