How to use the Microsoft Event Viewer to diagnose the breakdowns of the system

Unless manually modified Windows will log errors in Event Viewer. Information on these errors usually help determine which collapses and why it crashes. Often, they are used to diagnose if the computer shows a blue screen and you are unable to obtain information on the blue screen.

To run the click Event Viewer on start and start typing event viewer in the search programs and files. When the Event Viewer appears in the list, select it and run the program.

Once at the Event Viewer you need to descend to the level of the category. There are three broad categories that you want to fix the errors of. You can get to these categories by the expansion of the group Windows logs on the left side. According to newspapers in Windows, you can see Applications, security, and system. It's three groups where you want to see which crashed and why.

To start, click on the list of applications and you will see a list of events which occurred on the right side. Events fall into three categories

Information - low

WARNING - Medium

Error - high

Information events can be ignored in general these are things just information on your system. This can be an event as a disk defragmentation has been made and has been a success.

Warning events have an average level, because more often that otherwise, so it can be ignored and pose no immediate threat to your system.  Caution do not generally broken systems if your computer is crashing or having problems then is not likely caused by the warning events.

The errors have a high level and if your system crashes that could be due to the error. Since we are talking about the blockages and system errors, we will focus our attention on error events.

In the screenshot, an error has been highlighted and this is what we will discuss.

At diagnosis of the fault of the system you must ensure that you first you know what time your system crashed so that you can make sure you are looking at the correct event log. The newspaper of the events above is just an example of an error and is not one which would be generally cause a system crash. It is only for purposes of dimenostrational.

Now that you have what time the system crash occurred that you want to go to the event viewer and look for the error event. Once find you it you can highlight.

Once selected, you will find information about the event just below. The first thing you want to note is the description. He will often tell you what crashed and why it crashed and is sometimes followed by an error code or at least included in the description.

The error code will help you to determine why something is a failure. You can meet the followed a string of numbers such as STOP error: 0x0000007B (0xEB82784C, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).

With the error code can be a file name or a path. Maybe it's not always what causes the error, but it does not say where the error is being generated from, important for the diagnosis of the root causes.

More information, you are able to capture the best of assistance which can often be given. Blue screens can be tricky to solve in the fact that it can be caused by thousands of different programs and features.

If you encounter a blue screen, it is important to go into the event viewer and try to capture information as to why the error occurs.

The event viewer is like your journal of computers. It keeps all this hidden information and it tells the life of computers and what tragic things happen.

This guide is intended to help you understand what is the event viewer and if you experience crashes how to know why and what causes accidents.

If you experience crashes or problems using Event Viewer please use the new post and create a thread in which the issue that you are experiencing. Don't forget if you have accidents, including the information from the logs event viewer also help us solve the problem you are experiencing.

    One is the C key (you have to press several times) immediately after that the laptop has been powered.

    You can declare the event directly click handler MXML online, you don't need the initfunc() on creationComplete:

    You need not switch in handleEvent, a line will do everything:

    The only advantage I see declaring all these components button in MXML, you can visually position the keys by using Design view in Flex Builder.

Hello 4 keep screwing browsers and now I get connection network problems. I run Comcast doctor and did everything it said to do, but nothing works. Oh and I added 7-Zip and WinZip also.

    keimanzero,

    Comcast of Norton Security Suite version is installed? If Yes, who and perhaps malware is most likely to cause questions you have published, in particular the failure of the restoration of the system.
    First, configure the system to boot - How to solve a problem by performing a boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    NOTE: Start-up mode minimum state all the 3rd party firewalls will be disabled. Open Control Panel > Windows Firewall to make sure that the native firewall of Windows 7 is now on.

    Download and Save the update system (or CheckSUR) tool. You will need to download the specific Version of CheckSUR corresponding to the architecture of the system to Windows 7. If you do not know the architecture of the system, and then click the link that says "Click here to show or hide the instructions step by step with images" under method 2: download the update directly system preparation tool from Microsoft Download Center .
    Description of the preparation tool system update for Windows Vista for Windows Server 2008, for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

    Once the download is complete, close all open programs and browsers. Now, run CheckSUR with the system connected to the internet because it will download the .cab for system files. Reboot once CheckSUR is complete.

    Secondly, I suggest that you run the File Checker system while in the same clean boot state.
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the field search programs and files .
    2. Right click on cmd.exe in the programs of list, and then choose 'run as administrator '.
      If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    3. At the command prompt, enter the following line exactly as written including the space between thec and the/and then press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

    When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problems facing the system have been resolved.

    If they are not, you will need to contact Norton support for the version of Norton Internet Security Comcast to get help, or just uninstall NIS, run the Norton removal tool (right click Norton_Removal_Tool.exe, choose "Run as Administrator"), reboot and then check to see if the problems are still occurring.
