The problem with computers is that no matter how advanced or fast they are and no matter how stable the operating system is, they still crash from time to time. Usually, users think that a computer crashes because of a hardware failure. This could be the case, but a malfunctioning driver or operating system module is a more likely cause. This is why you need to find the driver that causes the system to malfunction and crash.

In order to locate the driver which is unstable and causes system crashes, you will need a specialized application, like WhoCrashed. This Windows program allows you to analyze the driver that causes the system to crash with only a few mouse clicks. The program basically analyzes the dump data generated by a crash and presents it in an understandable manner.

This is why you do not need to have debugging skills or a set of debugging tools by your side in order to understand the cause of a system failure. This application can find out which drivers cause your system to crash and can present them to you.

Still, WhoCrashed cannot be completely accurate. That's because all kernel modules run in the same address space and, as such, a kernel module is able to corrupt another. Besides that, a driver may be able to cause problems to another driver which runs in the same device stack. But these downsides can be forgotten when it comes to analyzing the program's features and benefits. What's more, the interface is highly intuitive and can be understood by any type of user.

Pros

The interface is very simple to use and the program's functionality is easy to understand. Besides that, it works with XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

Cons

The displayed information is not completely accurate. WhoCrashed is a small, easy to use utility that will identify which drivers cause your computer to crash.
