indication before Computer going to crash


Is there any way to know the computer(system) is going to crash within few minutes or seconds?

Can we know using the clock pulse or CPU overhead? Can anyone please help to clear this thing

Thanks in advance


Solution

  • You really cannot predict when a computer is going to crash. A reliable operating system does detailed hardware error reporting. When you start seeing a lot of hardware errors in the log, you know that crash is coming.

    That only deals with hardware-related crashes. A system can crash due to software problems an those can occur with no warning at all.
