"Who Crashed" reveals the drivers responsible for crashing your computer

 

A while back I wrote an article on how to analyze windows crashes, mainly the dreaded BSOD. It was very involved and required a lot of prep work and some advanced skills.

You can read it here if you like.  Recently I discovered a program that simplified the entire process called WhoCrashed. I have to tell you, it seems like lately all my advanced skills

as a power user are being automated by some program or another. It's making our lives easier and yet closing the gap between the people who put in the time to develop theirs pc

skills and the average tinkerer. Nevertheless, this is a must have tool for your toolbox. It takes an otherwise difficult process and automates the entire analysis of the crash dump file.

I was very impressed to say the least.

 

Quote from the site

 

"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.

 

Well there you have it in a nutshell. Go get this tool. They even have a pro version that I am considering.
