    This is a clean install with all the latest drivers from Dell.  I don't see anything obvious in the event logs.  Can anyone recommend how I can analyze the dump file to figure out what is causing this laptop to constantly crash.

    This is the only system event that I could find from around the time that it crashed.  This is 32bit Windows 7 Pro.

     

    Event Type: Warning

    Event Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-PnP

    Event Category: (212)

    Event ID: 219

    Date: 8/9/2011

    I turned out to be the video driver.  I used the mini dump files and microsoft debugger to identify the DLL that was failing, which belonged to the video driver.

    Strange thing was the correct driver would not install correctly and showed up twice in device manager.  I ended up manually removing the video driver from device manager. 

    The driver was in a self extracting executible from Dell which appeared to be the problem.  I manually uncompressed the driver with 7zip to a folder on the C drive.  Than from Device manager I updated the driver and browsed to the folder where I saved the uncompressed driver.

    That fixed the issue.

    When I try to find drivers for a Latitude D630 on the Dell web site, I can find only Vista drivers, none for Win 7.

    While I realize that *many* Vista drivers work in Win 7, that is not universally true. The description you show has something to do with drivers, but I cannot tell which driver.
