Bluescreens and then reboots too quickly for me to read what it says

(1/4) > >>

mouser:
Whoever came up with the idea of having the system crash with a big blue screen with tiny text filling the screen and somewhere on there having a clue to what went wrong, followed by 500 milliseconds of delay and then a computer reboot that clears the screen, is a super genius.  i mean truly that is really something special.

now just for fun, does anyone know a way to figure out what the text might have been on a bluescreen that results in a system reset before you can read it?

ps i've been getting these bluescreens once a week lately and i suspect it's because i was crazy enough to install windows xp 64bit, but that's another matter.

TucknDar:
there should be some files in Windows\Minidump with the information from every Bluescreen. They can be read with MS Windows Debugging tools.

Check out this thread.

Even if it disobeys the "stop on error" you should be left with a crashdump to analyze

TucknDar:
Also, you might want to check the following "change the value of 'AutoReboot' to equal '1' for automatic reboot, or '0' for disabled."  You'll find it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl

Veign:
If the blue screen occurs during the boot process you may want to check out BootVis and see if that gives you any clue.
