screenshot (jerms.orcon.net.nz)

My system just crashed.. those files will be "included in the report."
I've seen these before though.

Windows XP Pro SP2.

Hmm..

Which most of us cant read. Its usually a result of some driver, or program thats installed crashing, or hardware.

If u get a BSOD before this, and it gives a name of a file / driver, that'll be the problem.

527908 2007-02-25 08:06:00 Does XP dump logs to the Docs & Settings user directory rather that C/WNNT and/or Windows, you sure they are dump.log files, how big are they?

Those look they come from an app rather than windows itself (although the distinction between, say, IE the app and the OS is pretty much blurred)
