Pc-Check Windows System Quick Blue Screen Dump Test Failure Information

Group Number 541X

Device System

This group is used for testing the system as a whole. Stress testing refers to tests that determine the robustness of the system by testing up to the limits of normal operation. The Stress test puts a greater emphasis on robustness, availability, and error handling under a heavy load, than on what would be considered correct behaviour under normal circumstances.

Test Number 304

Quick Blue Screen Dump

This test will check if there has been any Windows blue screen of death error in the time period specified.

A Blue screen of death error appears when Microsoft Windows encounters a critical error that it cannot recover from. Blue Screens of Death are generally caused by problems with the computer hardware or issues with its hardware drivers. It maybe possible to find the cause by analysing the crash dump created by windows.

It is advised to run the Blue Screen Event test in case this test fails.

Estimated Test Time 1 Second.

PARAM15: Previous Duration

Duration, in days, to look back for blue screen of death dump files.
