Repair your operating system by checking all installed drivers and revealing the ones responsible for crashes, errors and other issued encountered during work. The utility performs a full scan and provides a list of drivers with questionable status along with options for removal or updating.

WhoCrashed is a software program designed by Resplendence Software Projects that provides in-depth analysis and reports of system failures, such as blue and black screen error or any other crashes.

The installation process is extremely simple and takes under one minute. Next, the interface is minimalistic and very friendly to novice users but it lacks customization options.

In order to utilize the program, all you need to do is press the "Analyze" button. Then, the software searches through crash dump directory, analyzes the found items and it offers detailed information about the possible causes of the problem and the found errors.

More, it provides user assistance by suggesting how to locate and fix the found issue.

An important feature is the "Crash Dump Test" which allows you to make your system crash so that you can check if it's able to write dump files. Still, by doing this, you expose your computer and you can lose important data, so it should be used by those who possess some experience in this area.

In conclusion, WhoCrashed is a useful tool, one that is simple to start but which requires some technical experience in order to understand the failure logs and therefore eliminate the found issues.

Besides this, I consider the price to be a little too big in comparison to what it delivers.


v3.06 [Nov 22, 2010]
In rare cases, WhoCrashed failed to properly detect the current crash dump directory resulting in no crash dumps found. This has been fixed.
On systems with more than 4GB RAM installed, WhoCrashed failed to properly report the amount of installed RAM and available virtual memory. This has been fixed.
WhoCrashed no longer needs to download and install the WinDbg debugger package from Microsoft. Only if you are still running Windows XP or Windows 2000 this is still required. For all later operating system versions (Windows Vista, Windows 7, etc) it will run without requiring you to download and install additional software packages. This saves installation time.
Analysis reports now displays additional information including amount of up time, operating system versions and system information such as number of active processors at the time of the crash. Conclusions will now also include the likely nature of a problem (faulty hardware, a thermal issue, typical software problem, typical case of memory corruption, etc.)
WhoCrashed now comes with better documentation. Depending on any particular situation, it will assist you in undertaking steps to troubleshoot existing problems right from the conclusion section in the analysis report
WhoCrashed now recognize less common, obscure, proprietary and rare bug checks.
The new version of WhoCrashed offers optional and configurable symbol resolution. It can extract symbols from a local symbol store or from the Microsoft symbol server automatically. This will allow for more informational call stacks and accurate crash dump analysis conclusions.
The new version offers kernel call stack information which includes names of kernel modules and function names for Microsoft modules if symbol resolution has been switched on.
The new version offers kernel call stack information which includes names of kernel modules function names for Microsoft modules if symbol resolution has been switched on.
