WhoCrashed – Smart Crash Dump Analyzer
WhoCrashed helps
users to reveal the drivers, responsible for crashing your computer and causing
the performance issues.
Whenever a computer running Windows suddenly reboots
without displaying any notice or blue screen of death, the first thing that is
often thought 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 that have been crashing your
computer with a single click. In most cases it can pinpoint the offending
drivers that 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.
The situations, when the utility will assist you in the
computer troubleshooting:
ü
If your computer crashed and produced a blue
screen.
ü
If your computer unexpectedly reset or shut down.
ü
If your computer crashes during the boot phase
Note that WhoCrashed cannot always be exactly sure about
the root cause of a system crash. Because all kernel modules run in the same
address space, any driver or other kernel module can potentially corrupt
another. Also, any driver may be able to cause problems to any other driver
that runs in the same device stack. This is to say this software is not
guaranteed to identify the culprit in every scenario.
