Crash dump file are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps . This is a subfolder of the user profile. For user helge it resolves to C:\Users\helge\AppData\Local\CrashDumps . Note: if the crashing application runs under the SYSTEM account, that resolves to C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\CrashDumps .
By default, when Blue Screen occur, a minidump is created under C:\Windows\minidumps. If your system is configured to generate a full dump, larger memory dumps like kernel memory dumps and complete memory dumps will be created under C:\Windows\MEMORY. DMP by default.
Windows keeps a list of all the small memory dump files in the %SystemRoot%\Minidump folder. The small memory dump file can be useful when hard disk space is limited.
Click Open Crash Dump on the File menu to open a user-mode or kernel-mode crash dump file and to analyze it. This command is equivalent to pressing CTRL+D.
Your crash dump location will depend on what is set in the system.
To find out where it is located go to your control panel, then system, then advanced system settings (in Windows 7) or the advanced tab (in Windows XP), click the startup and recovery 'settings' button.
Near the bottom of the startup and recovery settings window will be a dump file location text box which will specify where you can find it.
