Generating System Health Reports in Windows 7
Windows 7 ships with a variety of support, help, and diagnostic features to help you keep your PC running smoothly and error-free. However, some errors are not easily fixed and require more comprehensive information about your computer to fit them. The Resource and Performance Monitor was created for just that purpose.
When you are having trouble nailing down the source of an error in Windows 7, the Resource and Performance Monitor provides detailed information about your CPU, memory, network connections, and a variety of other systems in your PC. The report generated by the application is organized system by system allowing you to browse the report easily.
In addition, the report generates in only 60 seconds and puts the most important warnings and information about what it’s found at the top of the list. The report even shows the results of Basic Systems Checks that show where your PC passes and fails on basic diagnostic tests.
