Well for 'analyzing crash on blue screen BSOD' WinDbg is used a lot on these forums. So open that. You will need to added a symbol path so File > Symbol File Path... and add

http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

Then use File > Open Crash Dump... let that run. Hopefully it gives a 'Probably caused by :' and a file name that can be looked up to a file that is known and can upgraded \ rolled back \ reported to help. Beyond that WinDbg can do more much more than I know and I have been using it for months.
