My Vista home premium pc just restarted - I thought due to windows updates or something (I was out of the room), but it turns out it was due to a BSOD.

The event viewer simply tells me the previous system shutdown at XX:XX was not expected - so not very useful!
Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:	BlueScreen
  OS Version:	6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3
  Locale ID:	2057

Additional information about the problem:
  BCCode:	1000008e
  BCP1:	C0000005
  BCP2:	976D2115
  BCP3:	AAB57990
  BCP4:	00000000
  OS Version:	6_0_6000
  Service Pack:	0_0
  Product:	768_1

Files that help describe the problem:
  C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini110308-01.dmp
  C:\Users\~Rob~\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-258727-0.sysdata.xml
  C:\Users\~Rob~\AppData\Local\Temp\WER388.tmp.version.txt

Will the minidump file mentioned above be useful to try and diagnose what caused this blue screen?
