Browse All TopicsHi,
I'd like some hints about reading the output from WinDbg when reading crash dumps. I've found lots of information on the Internet about using WinDbg, setting up the symbols, etc, but they all end there without telling me what the output actually means. Lately I've had several different clients with BSODs and would love to know which parts of the WinDbg output I should be looking at for hints.
I've attached the latest bugcheck that I'm working on as a guide, bearing in mind that I'm more interested in knowing how to read the output myself that finding the cause of this particular crash.
Thanks,
Daniel

Hi djmundy
t+1c
DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID: DRIVER_FAULT
PROCESS_NAME: NTRtScan.exe <<<< This
SYMBOL_NAME: storport!StorPortDebugPrin
FOLLOWUP_NAME: MachineOwner
MODULE_NAME: storport
IMAGE_NAME: storport.sys <<<< And this
storport.sys and ntrtscan.exe are the root causes for this BSOD. These may be working together, one is driver and one is application. %60 of BSODs can be resolved by focusing on image name and process name. Kernel mode debugging is an advanced step for debugging.
