This figure goes down whenever your computer experiences a problem, such as a piece of software not working or a driver crash. This helps you identify what causes your computer problems for any particular event. |

| Reliability Monitor provides a system stability overview and trend analysis with detailed information about individual events that may affect the system's overall stability, such as software installations, operating system updates, and hardware failures. It begins collecting data at the time of system installation. |

| Performance Monitor provides a visual display of built-in Windows performance counters, either in real time or as a way to review historical data. You can add performance counters to Performance Monitor by dragging and dropping, or by creating custom Data Collector Sets. It features multiple graph views that enable you to visually review performance log data. You can create custom views in Performance Monitor that can be exported as Data Collector Sets for use with performance and logging features. More on Technet . |
