   I looked.  Unforfunately there isn't enough in them for me to =
diagnose with a quick check.  I did note that there are drivers that I =
didn't recognize.  Are you running IHV provided drivers?  Do you know if =
they were WHQL certified and if not whether there are WHQL certified =
versions available.

   If you can, configure your computers to create full dumps intead of =
minidumps.  The full dumps are much larger but contain more information =
for diagnosis.
