Troubleshoot BlueScreen Death

If you’ve used Windows for any length of time, chances are you’ve seen a Blue Screen of Death. You’re lucky when it’s only a bad driver and your system reboots politely. When you’re unlucky, it could be something more serious, such as a hardware failure. Either way, it’s a sign of system instability. Unfortunately, a BSOD is usually cryptic. Factor in the fact that Windows usually reboots itself automatically within a short period of time–with no assurance that you won’t get the same error–and you can see the need for BlueScreenView.
BlueScreenView is a small utility that will scan all your minidump files created during ‘blue screen of death’ crashes, and then display the information about all crashes in one table. For each crash, BlueScreenView displays the minidump filename, the date/time of the crash, the basic crash information displayed in the blue screen (Bug Check Code and 4 parameters), and the details of the driver or module that possibly caused the crash (filename, product name, file description, and file version).

Features of BlueScreenView
· Automatically scans your current minidump folder and displays the list of all crash dumps, including crash dump date/time and crash details.
· Allows you to view a blue screen which is very similar to the one the Windows displayed during the crash.
· BlueScreenView enumerates the memory addresses inside the stack of the crash, and find all drivers/modules that might be involved in the crash.
· BlueScreenView also allows you to work with another instance of Windows, simply by choosing the right minidump folder (In Advanced Options).
· BlueScreenView automatically locate the drivers appeared in the crash dump, and extract their version resource information, including product name, file version, company, and file description.
