Default how to pause or freeze a quickly flashing screen?

How do I pause or freeze a quickly flashing then disappearing screen so that
I can read the contents before it vanishes? I've tried using the Pause/Break
key on the keyboard, but that doesn't work. Is their a function key or
combination of keys that might work? PC has Intel P4 motherboard.

Default how to pause or freeze a quickly flashing screen?

I’ve tried unsuccessfully the following keys: Pause/Break, Esc, ctl/break.
I’ve also tried unsuccessfully to capture the screen using: print screen &
ctl/c.

I did finally see the screen by continually pressing F8 key after booting
until the “Advanced Startup Options for Windows” screen displayed whereby I
selected “Disable Auto restart on system failure” & then the blue screen with
text displayed & stopped during the display whereby I was able to read the
text, but the screen did not give me a means to advance past that screen, so
I powered off. The following is the text from that blue screen:

“A problem has been detected & windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer. If this is the 1st time you’ve seen this stop error
screen, restart your computer. If this appears again, follow these steps:
Run a system diagnostic utility supplied by the hardware manufacturer. In
particular, run a memory check, & check for faulty or mismatched memory. Try
changing video adapters. Disable or remove any newly installed hardware &
drivers. Disable or remove any newly installed software. If you need to use
Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to
select Advanced Startup Options, & then select Safe Mode. Technical
information: Stop. Oxoooooo7F ox00000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 ox00000000.
Beginning dump of physical memory.”

I’ve not tried to follow the above screen text because when I took my PC to
a help counter person and they plugged it in, my problem did not happen & the
PC worked just fine. But when I took the PC home & turned it on, my same
problem repeats. I’ve tried to figure why this happens. The only difference
is that the help counter did not use my power cord, they used their’s. So I
took my power cord to a help counter where they tested the cord & stated the
cord is ok. Anybody got a suggestion as to why different results?

The device manager does not show any conflicts/problems.

The only other difference between your home and the store you bought it from
is the environment and the AC. I would suspect one or the other. You
could try taking it back again to see if was just a fluke that it worked
there.

There is another difference between test locations. If a memory module,
plug-in card, or drive is not firmly socketed then movement could cause
intermittent faults when the system is moved. In fact, that is a MUCH more
likely cause than the difference in operating environment. Disconnect the
AC power cord and remove then reseat all memory module, plug-in card, and
drive connectors. This has a good chance of clearing up the problem. If
you don't feel comfortable with this procedure, take it to a reliable
computer service center. Probably not the one you already used since they
evidently did not check for proper seating of removable components.

Default how to pause or freeze a quickly flashing screen?

After several Windows crashes and blue screens on my laptop I found your site,Following your advice I unplugged cord and batterry and gave both memory cards a reset. It looks like it did the trick. After reconnecting batterry and power cord my laptop came back to life. I had to re-enter most of my passwords, but it is a small inconvenience.
Thanks for the great advice.
