  Understanding Bugchecks
Time: 00:10 EST/05:10 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Almost everyone that has ever used Windows has either heard of or experienced a bugcheck - the infamous "Blue Screen of Death."  A system may bugcheck for different reasons, but the bottom line is that the operating system has experienced a catastrophic fault that prevents the system from continuing to run.  We're going to cover some basic information about why a server may crash, explain how to configure and capture crash dumps and review some basic debugging of a crash dump.

Before we get started however, remember that there is a difference between a bugcheck and an application crash.  A bugcheck is a kernel-mode crash, whereas an application crash is a user-mode event.  We covered the differences between kernel- and user-mode memory in our Memory Management 101 post several months ago.  So what are some common reasons why you may experience a bugcheck?
