First of all I don't have a very deep understanding of computers, so please be gentle on the tech language.

Recently I've experienced a number of different crashes in a number of different games. I'm trying to get to the root of the problem. Almost all games make a crash log upon a crash and they often contain a crash GUID. To my understanding a crash GUID is a sort of id for a line of code, file, memory etc, so if I can understand what the GUID is identifying I would be able to see what caused the crash.

Could someone talk me through some basics on crash GUID's and (if it's possible) how to find what their ID'ing.

Thank you in advance :)
