Actually, it's unlikely that the SP1 logs will help much in a blue screen
scenario. I would suspect something in your Windows configuration or
hardware. Windows does a pretty good job of logging system failures in the
Event Viewer. It may give you some indication of the problem.
Unfortunately, I'm not trained on interpreting those logs. You should
contact Product Support to get someone to help out with that.
