BSOD Error Code Explanation

Question

I am retrieving system failure information from the event logs for diagnosis of system crash and displaying a list of possible issues.

In a generic BSOD, what do the four hex values in brackets signify. Is there anyway they can be used for further diagnosis of the problem, beyond the main error code? i.e 0x000000A. If yes, how?

The first number is a bug check code.

The following numbers will be whatever the driver passed to KeBugCheckEx, so they're only really useful if you have the driver source code.

Is there any way I can identify the faulty driver by examining the other hex numbers? Or are they all driver-specific? – Anirudh Ramanathan Jul 02 '12 at 14:35
