You can look at that mini dump file with notepad, but they are more for experts at MS than you or me but can offer hints. Have you added or changed any hardware lately, or installed any new software. If not you can try powering down (unplug from the wall) go inside and reseat any cards and check all connections to drives and devices at their connections and the motherboard as well to make sure everything is hunky dory. Then I like to go into safe mode (hit F8 repeatedly during boot) and select "last known good configuration).

If you installed some new program or software recently it could be causing problem when it tries to load, go into safe mode and try uninstalling it to see if that fixes the error.
