Event Viewer is the primary tool used to investigate system-level errors and logs, including BSODs. When a BSOD occurs, Windows logs the error codes and associated system behavior under “System” logs in Event Viewer. This allows the technician to review crash events, identify error codes (e.g., STOP codes), and pinpoint hardware or driver issues.
B. Performance Monitor is used for real-time performance tracking and trend analysis, not crash logs.
C. System Information displays system specs but not crash logs or events.
D. Device Manager shows device status and driver issues but doesn’t retain error logs related to BSODs.
