BlueScreenView makes the information about a particular BSOD a bit more digestible than using Windows Event Viewer. When you look at an error in BlueScreenView, the primary files related to the crash are brought to the top and highlighted in red, so you can easily identify the driver or Windows component that caused the crash. If more than one file is potentially responsible, you'll see multiple files highlighted so you can investigate potential causes.
BlueScreenView is much simpler than Event Viewer
While the Windows Event Viewer is an effective way to find information about a BSOD, it's also pretty complicated. Once you know where to go, it works fine, but there are so many UI elements you don't really need to diagnose a BSOD. BlueScreenView makes things far simpler. All you need to do is launch the app, and it automatically shows you all the logs from the MiniDump folder, which is specifically used to store information about blue screens. There's nothing else here, just the crashes you want to investigate, and you can easily choose a log in the top pane and see more information about it on the bottom pane. It will save you a ton of time.
It works on everything
On top of being extremely useful on modern computers, you'll be happy to know that BlueScreenView actually works on nearly every version of Windows since the early 2000s. Anything from Windows XP onwards, including Windows Server editions, can run BlueScreenView, and it even comes in different formats, including 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
BlueScreenViewer is even useful if you have multiple PCs on the same network. As long as you have administrator access to a remote computer, you can see the logs for that computer as well. You can even make it so that logs from different PCs are all presented in a single table.
Plus, the app is available in a ton of different languages thanks to translations from the community, so you can also use it more easily wherever you happen to live.
BlueScreenView is a great tool, and it's free
If you're someone dealing with a lot of blue screen errors on a daily basis, BlueScreenView comes highly recommended. It makes it much faster to get to the information you need, it's free, and it's lightweight. It doesn't even require an installation; you just extract the ZIP file. There's virtually no reason not to give it a try.
