Bugcheck codes can be searched at MSDN website (
www.msdn.microsoft.com).
You would simply type 0x50 in the search box and it will give you a link
into the bugcheck table.
To get more info from a mini-dump, download windbg from MS debugging tools
site (
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/ddk/de...g/default.mspx) and simply
double-click on the dump file to start a debug session.
You will also need to specify where to get the symbols and where to store
them on your system. Create a directory (e.g. c:\websymbols) and enter that
info into windbg at "File->Symbol File Path...". Substitute your path into
the string here, replacing everything between the asterisks.
srv*c:\websymbols*
http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
I would suggest turning of "Automatically Open Disassembly" and turning on
"Auto Arrange" and "Arrange All Windows". You can also close the
disassembly window that popped up since you don't need it for now.
Once you've done that, near the bottom of windbg you will see a single-line
area where you can enter commands. Enter "!analyze -v" to get details on
the crash. You can log the output by using a command similar to ".logopen
c:\dbg.log", or through a menu item. Use ".logclose" to close the log file.
Windbg has a very good online manual if you want to learn more about
post-mortem debugging. The analyze command will give you a stack trace, so
will the "kv" command. Good luck.
