WhoCrashed 2.0 (Windows, Freeware) reveals the drivers responsible for crashing your computer. Supports x86 and x64 Windows systems. Whenever a computer running Windows suddenly reboots without displaying any notice or blue screen of death, the first thing that is often though about is a hardware failure. In reality, most crashes are caused by malfunctioning device drivers and kernel modules. In case of a kernel error, most computers running Windows do not show a blue screen unless they are configured to do so. Instead these systems suddenly reboot without any notice. WhoCrashed shows the drivers which have been crashing your computer with a single click. In most cases it can pinpoint the offending drivers which have been causing misery on your computer system in the past. It does post-mortem crashdump analysis and presents all gathered information in a comprehensible way. Normally, debugging skills and a set of debugging tools are required to do post-mortem crash dump analysis. By using this utility you do not need any debugging skills to be able to find out what drivers are causing trouble to your computer. Another app is BlueScreenView 1.15 (Windows x86 only, Freeware), which scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one table. You could use this for x86 (32-bit) systems. IceRocket Tags: whocrashed, blue screen, crash, windows freeware
