WhoCrashed 2.00
WhoCrashed is a comprehensible crash dump analysis tool.
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 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.
Note
Note that WhoCrashed cannot be 100% sure about the driver which is responsible for crashing your computer. Because all kernel modules run in the same address space, a kernel module is able to corrupt another. Also, a driver may be able to cause problems to another driver which runs in the same device stack. So keep in mind this software is not guaranteed to identify the culprit in every case but most often it does.
WhoCrashed relies on the Windows Debugging Package (WinDbg) from Microsoft. If this is not installed, WhoCrashed will download and extract this package automatically for you.
What’s New in version 2.00:
*WhoCrashed now support all versions of Windows 7.
*Due to the nature of crash dump files, it’s common for them to be corrupt or incomplete. WhoCrashed now displays an error message for every crash dump file that was found but could not be read.
*WhoCrashed displays more meaningful error messages which may help you to find the cause of your problem. Bug check error message strings have been updated for the latest operating systems
