You can also use the Windows Reliability Monitor or read a dump file with a built-in or a third-party app. Let&rsquo;s briefly go over your options:<\/p>\n<h3>1. Using the Reliability Monitor<\/h3>\n<p>The Windows Reliability Monitor is a built-in app that tracks software issues and keeps a detailed log of events, especially when a crash occurs. The interface is user-friendly and works quite well on both Windows 10 and 11.<\/p>\n<div class=\"notebox\">\r\n\t<div class=\"notebox__text\">Your computer must boot up normally if you&rsquo;re going to use the program. If it doesn&rsquo;t, you can try opening it in Safe Mode. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<p>You can learn more about using the Reliability Monitor from our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/view-reliability-history-windows-10\/\">how to view reliability history <\/a>.

Reading a dump file<\/h3>\n<p>If your system crashes, Windows creates a dump file in the system memory where you can find apps that were running before the crash occurred. There are two main ways to analyze the dump file to check for causes of blue screen errors: using the WinDbg tool and using a third-party, free-to-use program such as BlueScreenView.<\/p>\n<p>We have a great article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.auslogics.com\/en\/articles\/how-to-open-and-read-dmp-files-after-a-bsod\/\">how to open and read .dmp files after a BSOD<\/a> that covers both methods, so make sure to check it out.

Now go out there and conquer, be it getting Event Viewer BSOD error logs, checking out the info in the Reliability Monitor, or reading a dump file.<\/p>\n<p>Did you like this article? Think it might be useful for someone else? Then do not spare a thumbs up and share it! Cheers!<\/p>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">What should I look for in Event Viewer logs to identify a BSOD cause?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tWhen going through Event Viewer BSOD error logs, focus on events marked as Critical, Error, or Warning, and those related to system crashes or unexpected shutdowns. Mark the event ID in the log; it can help you out. For BSODs, pay attention to event ID 41 (Kernel-Power), event ID 1001 (BugCheck), or any disk, driver, or memory-related errors.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">Are there tools that simplify BSOD analysis?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tYes. There are other utilities apart from the Event Viewer that allow you to find out blue screen causes. The Windows Reliability Monitor has a more user-friendly interface, and tools like BlueScreenView and WinDbg analyze crash dump files, making it easier for you to find the exact cause of a BSOD without the Event Viewer.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">What is a BugCheck event, and how do I find it?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tA BugCheck event (which is also called event ID 1001) is a log entry with detailed information about a BSOD that includes error codes and parameters that can help you understand why it happened. To find it in the Event Viewer, you need to create a custom view filtering for Critical, Error, and Warning events (check out this article to learn how) and look for event ID 1001.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">How can I interpret error codes in the Event Viewer?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tYou need to note the event ID and associated error codes. Next, go to your browser and google these codes to find tech forums and articles that have the info on these codes and provide troubleshooting steps. As a tip, you can go to Microsoft&rsquo;s support page and search there, as it&rsquo;s a great resource with a vast knowledge base.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">What should I do if the Event Viewer doesn&rsquo;t show any clear BSOD cause?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tFirst, breathe normally and try not to panic. You can use the Windows Reliability Monitor to get an overview of recent crashes (take a look a bit higher in this article). You can analyze the memory dump files using tools like WinDbg or BlueScreenView (we&rsquo;ve got info on this in the article as well). If it doesn&rsquo;t work out, check your hardware, especially your RAM and storage drives, as BSODs are generally triggered when there&rsquo;s something wrong with them.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"best-faq\">\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__header\">How can I save or export Event Viewer logs for further analysis?<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"best-faq__content\">\r\n\t\tOnce you&rsquo;ve filtered the logs to show relevant events in the Event Viewer, right-click on the custom view or individual event, then select Save All Events As&hellip; Choose a name, select a format (usually .evtx), and save it to where you prefer. Done! You can now share these logs with a technician or upload them to forums if you need help deciphering them.\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blue screen of death (BSOD) issues are scary Windows errors that can make even professional PC technicians panic.
