You can find tools that can read the minidump file.
C:\Windows\Minidump\061411-57299-01.dmp
I have a copy of dumpchk.exe here, from Microsoft. You
can get it, by looking for a download of some debug tools
from Microsoft, so you end up doing a fairly large
download, to get the tiny executable. I don't think
you can get just dumpchk.exe as a separate download.
This is another example of a minidump reader. I haven't
downloaded or tested this.

Basically, all you're looking for there, is the name
of a driver (if it is a hardware problem of some sort).
For example, if you have several minidump files, and
they all mention an Nvidia driver nv*** then you would
suspect your video card or the driver installed to make
the video card work.
If that BCCode value of 50, is the actual STOP code, you can
look up stop codes here.
