Questions about "Blue Screen Dump"

[Mark]

Hi all,

I'm working on a new system that has Windows XP Pro installed. SP2 was
installed also. I am now getting blue screens with messages like: "Bad
Pool Header" but I am unable to read the entire message before it
disappears. My first question is: Is the dump written to disk anywhere
or can I set this to halt for me so I can read it? My other questions
is: Is this a driver issue and are there any debugging tools that I can
use to pinpoint the error(s)?

Thanks in advance.
Mark

To be able to see the blue screen stop message; Control
Panel|System|Advanced|Startup and Recovery, I usually like to uncheck
"Automatically reboot" this way you get a chance to read the stop error.
