how to decipher a Windows 8 dump

1

I got a new Windows 8 PC 4 days ago. Suddenly it rebooted. The event log shows:

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000024 (0x000000b50019060b, 0xfffff8801d326748, 0xfffff8801d325f80, 0xfffff880019041e6). A dump was saved in: C:\windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 040413-33828-01.

The file mentioned is over 2 GB. There is also a smaller file in c:\windows\minidump

My goal is just to determine what program caused the crash. How can I get that information from either the memory dump or the mindump? Or is there a better way to figure that out?
