How to open the. dmp file after Windows 7 blue screen or system failure, and how to analyze the causes of the Blue Screen

 

After a blue screen appears on the Windows 7 system computer, the system automatically restarts. After the computer is restarted, the system displays information about the blue screen. If you have no time to view the information, you can also go to the "Event Viewer" in Windows 7 (location: Control Panel-system and security-management tools-view event logs ), in the event viewer, you will also see the error system information. The general prompt is as follows:

 

"Dump data has been saved in: C: WindowsMEMORY. DMP" or the. dmp file in the C: WindowsMinidup folder ."

 

What are these. dmp files? These are windows Memory dump files. In windows, the "small memory dump" file is stored in the WindowsMinidump folder, which only records key information when a blue screen crashes; the "core MEMORY dump" and "full MEMORY dump" files are directly stored in the Windows folder named MEMORY. DMP, which respectively records the core memory information and complete memory information when a blue screen crashes.

 

Now you can open these files to view the information related to your blue screen. But another question arises: how do I open these files with the. dmp suffix? Windows 7 itself does not provide a tool to open such files, and it cannot be opened with notepad. What should we do?
