Where can I find the four hexadecimal STOP error parameters that used to be shown in older versions of Windows on the Blue Screen of Death whenever a kernel bug check occurs?
I can't find them in Windows 8.

Also, is there any way to see which module caused the error, as was also possible before?

I can highly recommend BlueScreenView:

From the site:

BlueScreenView Features:

  • Automatically scans your current minidump folder and displays the list of all crash dumps, including crash dump date/time and crash details.
  • Allows you to view a blue screen which is very similar to the one that Windows displayed during the crash.
  • BlueScreenView enumerates the memory addresses inside the stack of the crash, and find all drivers/modules that might be involved in the crash.
  • BlueScreenView also allows you to work with another instance of Windows, simply by choosing the right minidump folder (In Advanced Options).
  • BlueScreenView automatically locate the drivers appeared in the crash dump, and extract their version resource information, including product name, file version, company, and file description.

It doesn't require installation and runs on both 32 and 64 bit Windows (XP up)

UPDATE

Here are some links with information about the new "Automatic Memory Dump" option in Windows 8:

It should be recorded under the Windows heading in Problem Reports. Search for 'problem' in Settings and select 'View all problem reports'.
