Reading Mini.Dump Files

[Zach Dundore]

I have a Dell Optiplex GX270 that is continually shuting down with out
warning. The system board on the computer has been replaced once already,
and yet the computer is shuting down. The event view has told me that there
was a dumpfile created and i have attached it to this post. I have tried to
run dumpchk.exe on the file but i recieve an error. Is there another way to
read this file? Feel free to look at the dmp file yourself and let me know
what you think. I am stumped as to why the computer would be shuting down on
its own.

Thanks

Zach

You posted an identical request to this newsgroup one hour before you
posted this.

These newsgroups circulate worldwide and the volunteers who provide
the assistance on them are not always available. It is best to wait
at least 24 hours for replies to come in before you post the identical
question again.

Please see my reply in the original thread.

Good luck
