Answer : Tutorials on debugging

The following comments refer to WinDbg:

The dumps are normally located in c:\windows\minidump\    
or  %systemroot%\minidump\

If you see no minidump>

'No minidump' can also be because you're getting a total crash before Windows has a chance to produce a crash dump.  In such a case you would scan the Hard disk for errors running the command chkdsk /r

Absence of Minidump could also be due to deteriorating motherboard capacitors, or flakey(unstable) power supply.
