I don’t want to do line by line debugging. I just want
to analyze the crash dump and locate the instruction
that is causing BSOD.

Yes. Both the products windbg and Visual Softice (not the age old
Softice) provide the capability and tools to load and analyze memory
dumps.

Both windbg and DS allow it. Download latest windbg, install it, configure
symbol server, load crash dump and invoke “!analyze -v” command. After about
15 minutes of work you can see the instruction which caused BSOD. Next
analyze can take hours or days depending on problem.
