Wand3r3r's WHEA overclock util - *Update 9/13* #Beta0.2

[kasakka]

Support for 24h clock would be nice, now it's a bit annoying to compare to current time.

Also would be nice if it defaulted to showing errors logged today as opposed to all, would be more useful for overclock testing without having to change the date every the time.

 

[Zardnok]

Nice utility, I haven't had any since I settled on a final overclock, so I guess I did something right!

Thanks for making this. Turns out my northbridge was set too high, this saved me quite a bit of prime testing and tweaking.

Hey, tried to download it but couldn't. IE10 says can't open frame. Anyone else get this problem?

I should make some time and take a look at it one of these days.

You're welcome.

Try another browser (firefox/chrome etc.). I guess your browser settings are blocking it or something else is funny in your browser.

Nice program, thanks for making it!

For some reason I'm getting six USB device driver errors every boot (which don't show in device manager) ontop of the usual Windows silliness so my event log is extremely cluttered these days. Your tool will be very useful...

Nice utility.

Is there a way to clear the logs from the utility, I have cleared them from event viewer, but they still show up in this program.

 

[john3850]

If they still show up after a restart there still in your event viewer.
Recheck your event viewer and delete clear again.
window logs - system - clear

 

[james1701]

Thanks, I was clearing the wrong one.

Thanks for verifying that. :thumbsup:

What OS (32/64)? Do you have .NET 4 installed?

 

[boondocks]

I had this working previously with my Z77 board, but it's not installing for my Z87....I get the same message as Zoeff. I'm running Win 7 Pro 64, and NET 4.5 is installed.

 

[Kenmitch]

Wouldn't work for me either.

If your goal is to just clear the events the following works.

Make a text file named clearevents.bat not .txt or whatever you want to call it and paste the following in it. Right click run as admin is all it takes.

@echo off
FOR /F "tokens=1,2*" %%V IN ('bcdedit') DO SET adminTest=%%V
IF (%adminTest%)==(Access) goto noAdmin
for /F "tokens=*" %%G in ('wevtutil.exe el') DO (call :do_clear "%%G")
echo.
echo goto theEnd
:do_clear
echo clearing %1
wevtutil.exe cl %1
goto :eof
:noAdmin
exit

Comes in handy when playing around with overclocks.

Thanks for the bat file.

Thanks for the bat file.

No problem

The option to have a box pop up when a WHEA error occurs (I forget the details but I remember it being an option to notify when one occurs, would be slick to automate that w/ a "button"). I don't have any idea how easy or difficult that might be, but it seems like it would be cool, especially when experimenting with overclock settings.

You can do this in Windows 7/8 (probably others too but I haven't checked) with a scheduled task. One of the options with coming up with a scheduled task is to fire it off of an event. Just set it to fire off of WHEA.

I don't have the script I used with me at the moment, but it's dead simple.

 

[wand3r3r]

With a very brief search it appears the issue could be the apps data corruption? The app is a ClickOnce app meaning it doesn't require an official installation for the app itself.

It means your ClickOnce cache is corrupted. Did the application end unexpectedly, did the machine crash, would the application not stop running and the user klled the process, or the user killed the process...

Delete the \apps\2.0\ folder (assuming you don't have any other ClickOnce apps) and try the install again.

On Vista, that folder is under C: \Users\username\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\
On XP, try c: \Documents & Settings\User\LocalSettings\Apps\2.0\​

Can anyone confirm whether that helps? I don't have the issue myself.

Ok, I got around to updating the utility.
I added a few usability fixes.

*Disclaimer, I have only tested the Event Viewer clearing in a virtual machine as I want the WHEA errors that I have for testing.*

Requirements:
Windows
.NET (installed for games anyway)

wand3r3r.overclock.util #BETA 0.2
Usability improvements.
Added last search date, can be filtered since the last time you ran it.Can clear the event viewer logs.

To download from google docs: File / Download, it will download everything in the zip.
1. On the google docs page it's just FILE - Download.
2. Once you have the ZIP, unzip it and run the Setup.exe
3. If you unzip it just make a shortcut from the desktop to the .exe.

Does anyone know why the thread title doesn't change?

Here's the event trigger I made:

Here's the action info: Start a program ->
Program Script: C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
Arguments: /K "echo WHEA-Logged."

Cool utility by the way. Surprised no one else has built one before

 

[Harpocrates]

Looks like a useful programs, I hate wading through event viewer.

 

[wand3r3r]

Let me know if you have any issues or ideas for improvement.

Deleting specific event logs from the WHEA source looked to be pretty painful, it's not possible without major workarounds if at all, so I don't know if I'll try any further. Currently you can empty the whole event viewer with v. 0.2.
