Hi, Ness888.
In Advanced System Properties, you can change the default setting for what
Vista should do on "System failure". The default is to "Restart". The blue
screen (BSOD) appears, but the computer immediately restarts, too quickly
for us to read the screen. If we change this default by unchecking the box,
the computer will halt until we press the Restart button, giving us all the
time we need to copy down the Stop Code, both the hex number and the text
label for the error code.
It's an easy job, but a long path to get there:
Control Panel | System | Advanced System Settings (You'll need to supply the
Administrator password to get past here.) | Advanced tab | Startup and
Recovery / Settings.
Now, under System failure, UNcheck the box in front of Automatically
restart. OK your way out.
Next time, copy at least the Stop Code and all those long hexadecimal
numbers and type them verbatim into your next post. Then some of the gurus
here (not me!) will be able to interpret them and give you some directions.
Or you could Google for the Stop Code (stop +0x7b, for example) and learn
more about what is causing your problem.
By the way, the Forum where you posted your question simply relayed it to
the Microsoft public news server's
microsoft.public.windows.vista.hardware_devices newsgroup, where I am
reading it. If you would like to "cut out the middleman" and come directly
to this newsgroup, just click here:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...rdware_devices
That one click, unless blocked by something like a corporate firewall, will
start your default newsreader (OE/WM/WLM, etc.); create a News Account for
you on the Microsoft public server, which is free and does not require a
logon; connect you to this NG; download the 300 newest messages (probably
including this one); and display the latest one for you to read. After some
familiarization, you can customize the newsreader (Tools | Options) to suit
yourself in many ways.
