What to do with a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) in Windows XP

Here’s a guide I found that gives some useful information on what blue screens are all about and what to do when you get one.
The memecode guys on the other hand have instructions on how to quickly retrieve and analyze the dump information from the blue screen.
These should be pretty much sufficient for solving the problemnext time that you get a BSoD.
Update: A program called WhoCrashed seems to be the easiest way to perform this task nice and easy.
