    Kernel,small or complete dump files?


    Please excuse ignorance on this.
    What dump files are required to post with a bsod thread?
    My computer is configured for "kernal memory dump".
    I have 3 files in mini dump and I am not sure how to open
    them.
    I have read I can drag them to desktop?
    This might be over my head ,not sure
    Thanks in advanced

    Thanks,I think I found the problem.
    There was a piece of paper right under one of the air intake vents.
    I'm sure it must of been overheating,I haven't had a crash all day
