How to read the blue screen after restart

[Rawahi]

Hi every body...

I am getting a blue screen in my system and system
restarts ahutomatically without giving me a chance to
read the error data.

Is there any way to read these information after
reasrting??

Thanks in advance

There are a couple of ways to read the data:

1) Control Panel>Admininstrative Tools>Event Viewer>System
You'll see a listing of events, he most recent of which have to do
with the reboot. Somewhere below those, you'll see the 'x' in a red circle.
That's most likely your crash. The blue sceen data should show there.

2) Turn off automatic reboot: My Computer>Properties>Advanced>Startup and
Recovery settings

In the middle of the dialogue box, is a section labled "System
Failure." If you remove the check from the "Automatically restart" box,
your blue screens will stay active as long as you like, and you copy all the
info they present, until you reboot manually. This is my prefered option.
The data also shows up in the Event Viewer after a manual reboot.
