[Info-vax] Weird Bugcheck

My technical lead reached behind a DS10 and jimmyed the video
connector. (He was trying to disconnect it, and has that bad habit of
jimmying things that are screwed in instead of gently unscrewing them
and removing them with minimum force. He has been lectured on the
matter.)

I got an immediate bugcheck and reboot.

Where do I start on analyzing a bugcheck, by the way?  I have not done
that in a long time.

This is VMS 7.3-2 up-to-date on patches except those since the recent
cumulative update 9.

When the system was not in use, I tested carefully unscrewing and
reconnecting the video connector. No bugcheck.
