You need to run a kernel debug session on your driver. To do this you
need another PC runing the latest windbg (download from Microsoft), a
NULL modem cable (for serial port debigging) or a firewire cable (for
firewire debugging)

You need to set swithed in the boot.ini file of the PC that runs the
driver, the one that crashes. eg /debugport=COM1 /baudrate=115200

The DDK contains ful info on doing this, and how to make a null modem
cable youself.
