Is there a way to allow the blue screen to hold to allow the user to read it?
Do you use the 'pause break' key?

While computer Booting Press F8 to get to the Boot up options, using the Up
and Down arrow to select the option you need to capture the error message.
On Boot up options select this:
Disable automatic restart on system failure.
Now what the BSOD error tell you?

Yes, but you do have to set an option for it to work. Go to Control
Panel > System > Advanced tab > click Startup & Recovery > in the
System Failure area, uncheck Automatically Reboot, click OK, click OK
again. You may have to reboot for it to save the changes. Next time a
blue screen happens, it should stay on-screen until you power off.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during Start-Up and select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

If you are using a wireless keyboard and the F8 key does not work
substitute a wired keyboard and mouse for this exercise only.
