windows vista - I keep getting the BSOD. how do I trace what application / driver is causing it?

I get a APC_INDEX_MISMATCH error and it says it is dumping memory.

Where is the dump sent? More importantly how do i scan it to find out who is causing the BSOD?

Answer

Usually the dumps are saved to %systemroot/minidump - MS has documentation on that here. You can view and analyse these with whocrashed (which is simpler, and does most of the analysis for you) or bluescreenview (which lets you see the actual dump, or load dumps from other systems, but dosen't do any interpretation - it just lets you google up the errors).
