At the bottom? That is just showing that the system created a dump file and it was 100% successful.

The term Blue Screen of Death originated during development of the IBM OS/2 operating system at Lattice Inc, the makers of early Windows and OS/2 compilers. Developers encountered the error screen when bugs in the operating system's software (typically null pointers) slipped through the net during beta testing. In feedback to IBM, a company known informally as 'Big Blue', the developers humorously described the Stop screen as the 'Blue Screen of Death' in consequence of its color, of the association of that color with IBM, and of the finality of the error (which caused the computer to hang without any possibility of recovery, requiring a manual restart.

I don't think this thread should be continued in this forum. This is to get help with a BSOD, not to figure out the history behind it.

The .dmp file contains specific information, when analyzed with specialized software (windbg) that shows what was occurring at the time of the crash ... possible driver conflicts that may have caused the crash, etc..
