    Any software that can provide logging for FULL SYSTEM CRASHES?

    my r1 crashes from time to time; the last two times were due to a particular flash module. i want to see if this is the source; is there any application I can run, induce this crash, and then view a detailed report after I reboot? this COMPLETELY crashed the system and it must be hard rebooted, so I need a program that can generate this report and save it at the last second.
    Thanks

    whocrashed is pretty good, however if it's a mobo or ram problem I doubt any software would be able to record the crash if it breaks the OS' ability to function
