BlueScreenView allows you to recover the information generated during a system crash to analyze it in detail. It displays a very complete set of information about a specific crash event, like the exact date and time, the libraries and modules involved and the stack status at the moment of the crash.
You can change the MiniDump folder location and analyze other concurrent Windows installations, too.

The program's user interface has a really basic and too-classical design, and leaves a lot to be desired, visually speaking. It basically consists of an upper panel, where the found crash events are listed, and a lower panel, which shows detailed information about the selected event. The program allows you to select a “lower panel mode”, and configure what will be shown there. The available modes are – all drivers, drivers found in stack only, blue screen in XP style (a replica of the BSOD as it appeared on your screen), DumpChk output, and raw data.

Besides that, in the "Advanced Options" window you can set the folder from where you wish to load the crash information, load the crash information from several remote computers whose network names are listed in a text file, load a single MiniDump file, and also modify the DumpChk command line string. All of this is possible since Windows saves the information about crash events inside a folder named “MiniDump”, normally located inside the “Windows” folder. This way, you can select the MiniDump folders either of a remote computer or of a parallel Windows installation on the same PC.

Finally, the program provides you with even more functions, such as saving the selected items into a text file and displaying a very complete set of information about the selected item.

Pros

  • Displays very detailed information about a specific system crash event.
  • Allows you to analyze the crash information from multiple concurrent Windows installations.
  • Allows you to recreate the BSOD that appeared at the system crash.
  • You can save the selected items into a text file.

Cons

  • Poor visual design.

Publisher's description

BlueScreenView scans all your minidump files created during 'blue screen of death' crashes, and displays 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).

For each crash displayed in the upper pane, you can view the details of the device drivers loaded during the crash in the lower pane. BlueScreenView also mark the drivers that their addresses found in the crash stack, so you can easily locate the suspected drivers that possibly caused the crash.
