Topic:- How through which Softwares tools to retrieve BIOS errors history from bios events logs?

As in my office there are 60 desktop pc of amd Ryzen 7 2700x 3700x 3800x with b450 x470 x570 b550 Asus gigabyte MSI motherboards all have UEFI BIOS and RTX 3070 RTX 3090 RTX 2080ti graphic cards used for 3d graphic designing animation video editing and used day and night for designing editing work.

Operators and designers are not aquaent with hardware. Errors problems. Now many time due to Heavy usage the BIOS or Windows gives errors if overheating of CPU processors RAM or GPU graphic card or any system problems.

I want to get the past history of such errors in BIOS PCs occurred so I have searched and finded that generally BIOS to gives errors of overheating overclocking fan errors while booting In POST . I founded about BIOS Events which records BIOS errors in some queries in some forums websites. Listed below.

So I have following queries in mind and interested to know following Information regarding same:-


Q1. Do UEFI BIOS records or logs any overheating or overclocking or system hardware errors or fan stopage errors or any type of BIOS errors? Do it logs in BIOS events ?


Q2. If yes, then do UEFI or any BIOS events log is saved somewhere, where it is saved in chip or HDD... if yes then how can we retrieve such information from BIOS?


Q3. which system softwares tools we can find the BIOS event logs and save it, can we get it into windows.

Again, this is only potentially saved in Windows, and will not survive an OS reinstall or major update.

@USAFRet bro thank you again nice to see you again and nice too see your reply helps and comments and advice opinions

Yes bro I have seen those links mostly seen that the laptop servers and some boards BIOS have a menu of BIOS events and view BIOS events log and clear log event is within that BIOS .

I hope BIOS events logs are saved in the CMOS chip not HDD so except Bios flashback update or clear BIOS log option or formatting HDD will delete the logs

https://superuser.com/questions/150...red-and-do-they-affect-performance-in-any-way

But problem is that do all motherboards have BIOS events logs and do they records save all errors of overheating or BIOS hardware errors or not....as per my thoughts some BIOS have menu to show clear logs....and some save it hiddenly as the service center gets the info from Bios logs to....

But I want some tools windows BIOS utility so that I can get read the event logs from windows so that we can trace info from windows not going through Bios options

Here are questions on some forums for those utility but no answers for tools software names

There is no universal function that saves BIOS events to a Windows log.
If that function is not included in the BIOS, then is simply does not happen.
