You need to go into your BIOS(bacic input/output services)
(computer BIOS's are different,some you access by pumping
the esc key at boot,some the F1 key,some the F2 key)
(start at esc,then work up the F keys till you get the
BIOS screen,you need to change the settings that
restart,after failure-or crash or dump,whatever yours
is.Set it to stay on after (event).Think it's under the
boot tab.Then the blue screen BSOD (blue screen of death)
will stay on after a crash,and you'll be able to get the
info off of it to post back here,or check the MS KB
articles for the fix for it.If you added hardware lately
you may want to check the device manager to see if it's
working properly.
