blue screen infos in log file?

[Josef Jarousse]

My xp machine crashes when going in sleep mode. I get a blue screen
and then it reboots immediatly. I have no chance to read anything on
the blue creen. Does xp write these infos to a file?

Thanks
Jo

Hi Jo

If you don't see any error messages, right click on My Computer, select
Properties and then the Advanced tab. Click on Settings under Startup and
Recovery and disable 'Automatically restart'. Next time your PC reboots,
you should see a Blue Screen. Could you please post the Stop Code that
accompanies that BSOD back here?

Hi,

In addition to Will, click start/run and type eventvwr.msc, see if there is
anything in the system and application logs that holds any clues. Chances
are good that this is a device driver problem, and these logs may point to
which one.
