(Not recommended for a busy cluster) Executive-mode BugChecks cause processes to "crash" and disappear from the system. Kernel-mode BugChecks, of course, cause the system to disappear from itself. There is an easier way to find out what happened to BugCheck'ed processes. Rather than crashing the system, go look at the process termination record in the accounting log. You will find that this record contains the process termination status, which (for failing and BugCheck'ed processes) indicates why the process terminated. The command to do this is something like: $ ACCOUNTING /FULL /TYPE=PROCESS /SINCE=xxxxx to only look at the accounting records since time "xxxx" (TODAY is usually good enough).
