WhoCrashed reveals the drivers responsible for crashing your
computer
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 your
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.
According to the web site they offer a "free home edition" and a pro
(payware) edition with some added featuers.

Thanks Bjorn. Too bad it's needs to be installed (assumed because it comes
as a setup program). A program like this just screams to be in a portable
form.

Agree. I just installed it, and can only see the program exe and a
uninstall exe in the install dir. Unfortunately I did not run any
install-monitoring software so I can not say if and what it wrote to
the registry. I do not have time to play with it further now
anyway...running it with regmon fx. And among other tings I must
produce a crashdump before I can play. Not in any hurry to do that :)

thanks for the link
until there is a crash, I don't think I can compare the difference between it
and Event viewer under WinXP
