Hardware information displayed in report

v4.02 [Oct 18, 2012]
The following changes were made to WhoCrashed 4.01 since version 4.00.
Faster symbol resolution
The professional edition of WhoCrashed now does faster symbol resolution which results in faster analysis.
Improved crash dump test
WhoCrashed now adds text to the report with explains the meaning of bug checks that were generated because of the crash dump test tool.

v3.06 [Nov 22, 2010]
In rare cases, WhoCrashed failed to properly detect the current crash dump directory resulting in no crash dumps found. This has been fixed.
On systems with more than 4GB RAM installed, WhoCrashed failed to properly report the amount of installed RAM and available virtual memory. This has been fixed.
WhoCrashed no longer needs to download and install the WinDbg debugger package from Microsoft. Only if you are still running Windows XP or Windows 2000 this is still required. For all later operating system versions (Windows Vista, Windows 7, etc) it will run without requiring you to download and install additional software packages. This saves installation time.
Analysis reports now displays additional information including amount of up time, operating system versions and system information such as number of active processors at the time of the crash. Conclusions will now also include the likely nature of a problem (faulty hardware, a thermal issue, typical software problem, typical case of memory corruption, etc.)
WhoCrashed now comes with better documentation. Depending on any particular situation, it will assist you in undertaking steps to troubleshoot existing problems right from the conclusion section in the analysis report
WhoCrashed now recognize less common, obscure, proprietary and rare bug checks.
The new version of WhoCrashed offers optional and configurable symbol resolution. It can extract symbols from a local symbol store or from the Microsoft symbol server automatically. This will allow for more informational call stacks and accurate crash dump analysis conclusions.
The new version offers kernel call stack information which includes names of kernel modules and function names for Microsoft modules if symbol resolution has been switched on.
