John - navigate to
Start/Settings/ControlPanel/System/Advanced(Tab)/StartupRecovery
and uncheck Automatically Reboot.
The BSOD will remain on the screen next time this happens.
The BSOD may not show the info you need if it's a hardware problem (like
a bad RAM chip or a loose or bad cable or a failing mainboard component)
or a software problem that instantly kills the OS.
Look also in Device Manager,in
ControlPanel/AdminTools/ComputerManagement
for any oddities, and of course also in Event Viewer.
OK - thanks to both of you. Found the dump file and also how to set it to
not auto reboot. Not sure how to read the dump file though - but next BSOD
I should be able to see the offending component.
