    <p>Greetings.</p> <p>I have been getting bug-checks lately on my xp laptop, here is the data from the last one:</p> <p><strong>0x40000080 (0x8a43d130, 0x858ffd20, 0xba4f3e5c, 0x00000001)</strong></p> <p>I had only mini-dumps enabled (I've changed it since, but have not seen a BSOD yet) and looking at my "C:\windows\Minidump" directory I see 11 mini-dumps from the last 6 months, about two bug-checks a month</p> <p>Running windbg and friends from the "Debugging tools for Windows" results in error "0n1392" which I read in short as "corrupted". Looking into the file with a hex editor, I tend to agree with the diagnosis as the top part of the file is sprayed with the ASCII string "PAGEPAGE".</p> <p>I have two questions really: </p> <p>1) what can cause all my mini-dump files to be corrupted?</p> <p>2) is there a way to extract any data to point at what is likely to cause this bug check?</p> <p>Thanks your help is appreciated!</p> <p><strong>Appendix I - dumpchk response to the mini-dump file</strong></p> <pre><code>C:\Program Files\Debugging Tools for Windows (x86)&gt;dumpchk.exe c:\WINDOWS\Minidump\mcradle.dm Loading dump file c:\WINDOWS\Minidump\mcradle.dmp Microsoft (R) Windows Debugger Version 6.12.0002.633 X86 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
