Some explanation on dump files.
[[Windows error dumps are typically named MINI000000-00.DMP and are 64KB in
size. The 000000-00 part of the name is month, day, year (2 digits) and
sequence number for that date (mmddyy-##). You can configure the type of
memory dump performed by Windows. Please see the details in the Microsoft
Support Article. With regard to memory dumps...if it happens regularly or
happens when you run a particular program then you should contact either
Microsoft or the program's support group to tell them there is a problem and
try to work with them to determine what it is. Support may need the file or
details from it.]]

[[What Is a Minidump?
A minidump is a file containing the most important parts of a crashed
application. It is written on the user’s machine and then the customer can
submit it to the developer. The developer can load the dump to help
determine the cause of the crash and develop a fix.]]
