WHEA event logger?

[ehume]

I tried a few web searches for a WHEA event logger but came up with answers more complicated than I could follow.

I take it that seeing WHEA's can tell us when our OC is not stable even when our software testing does not fail. I would like to follow my WHEA events. Is there an easy or straightforward way to do this?

Thanks.

The problem is that WHEA logs don't tell us which component exactly is failing during load. It can be CPU,memory,something related to PCI express etc.You should look up the time stamps and see if you remember what were you doing on your PC at the time of the errors happening. If it was CPU intensive it is most likely your unstable OC(although you tested it in various software). If it was gaming maybe it was your GPU or graphics driver .

Open event viewer, choose create custom view > by source > event source whea-logger. Clear system log to delete them. If you want you can also make it display a message whenever a whea error occurs by attaching a task.

Thanks. That points me in the direction I need to go. Now a couple of more questions.

Event-source. Like this?

And what to do with this?

How would I specify WHEA's?
