It is quite hilarious to hear when people say Windows 7 is crash proof. Please note that no operating system is ever crash proof and there could be many reasons behind every crash. Back in yea 2008, we talked about an application called WhoCrashed which helped user determine the real cause behind the crash.
The developer has now released the latest version(release 2.0) which is fully compatible with all versions of Windows 7. There is also an additional feature added to it – ability to reveal the exact drivers responsible for the crash.

It downloads the Windows Debugging package before analyzing the cause behind the crash. If you already have this package, you can ignore this step. So how can it fix the Windows 7 crash? Once you know the real cause behind the crash it becomes fairly easy to fix the problem. The root cause is something everyone should look for and this app does the job very well in this regard.
It even does the job of telling the reason behind every crash. Once it is fixed, your Windows won’t crash anymore.

It works on all versions of Windows, including the latest Windows 7. Both 32-bit and 64-bit OS are supported. Enjoy!

I have been running the Win7 RC since may and have not had one crash. None. Considering the amount of testing I run my computer through tells me Win7 is the most stable os release yet. YMMV.
Lucky you, I have been having crash issues on the average of 6 to 8 hours of use and the whole system locks up and nothing will respond. Just holding down the power key and full reboot. I have searched through the web and there are an endless number of sites concerning the same problem but no real solutions. My question is did you do a clean install on your machine with no previous OS or did you upgrade from Vista or XP? I have done the usual troubleshooting, like registry clean up, virus check, update everything with no change. I’m now wondering if the problem was due to me upgrading vista to windows 7. Maybe something got corrupt in that process. Any help would be great cause my next move to to go back to XP and wait for microsoft to figure this one out.
Agreed. It is indeed very stable, but I encountered one crash in 4 months of testing. You never know which driver or software can bring the system down to it's knees.
The article title is misleading. This program does not fix anything. The information provided may help diagnose the crash, but it's no more helpful than the details shown on the blue screen. Also check out BlueScreenView. It does not require Windows Debugging tools and shows you the same information this program does and more.
Sorry if you got confused by the title. I just wanted beginners to know what is possible with this tool. It helps us in fixing the problem rather than directly fixing the problem.

I have had windows 7 since Christmas and my computer has only crashed 1 time! This was due to the new Memory leak in Internet Explorer unfortunately.
