Reading .DMP files in windows 8.

[Chris is awesome]

Well, I have had a lot of trouble with windows 8 booting, it would get to the log on screen and to desktop, but no further not even a blue screen just a plain restart a few times then I would have to repair it. Now my question, is there a way to read the .DMP files that windows has created to find out if it was a defective RAM stick( I took it out and the problem seems to be fixed) or am I barking up the wrong tree by looking at these? if, so where should I look to see the reason for the crash without contacting Microsoft?.

 

Cheers,

Chris.

My problem is that it crashes before I get to do anything in the OS just logging on.

Well if I did interpret correctly, you did say something about removing the RAM stick will allow you to boot into windows.
Why not just try to remove the RAM stick and boot into Windows to obtain the files

 

or 

You can pull out the harddrive and insert that into another working computer to harvest out the .dmp files.

It's was in a constant restart loop.I just reinsalled windows, the second RAM stick was also producing errors when I ran windows memory diagnostic. Now I'm just hoping the issue is fixed and I'm done with it.
