windows random crasshes :(

[BICCUS1]

Hi

I have been having trouble with windows xp it seems to just sometimes crash with no warning i get a blue screen with loads of writing on it then the screen is gone and the pc restarts!

Is the anyway to see what the screen says as it is so quick there is no time to read!

There seeems no pattern to the crasshes as my pc could be on for 4 days on the trot and then crash the next day it could crash after 10 mins of being switched on!

I had this problem some time now so two weeks ago i restarted and reloaded windows but still have same problem.

Don't know if it is related but i also seem to have some trouble with IE6 i will say have three pages open and IE wil put one of those boxes up with send don't send messages!

Any one plz

Recovery Settings

One of the things that is quite different about Windows XP compared to Windows 9x (9x is shorthand for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me in all their various versions), is that one can control how it responds to certain critical errors—those that cause the infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). In Windows XP, the default setting is for the computer to reboot automatically when a fatal error occurs. If that fatal error only occurs when you're shutting down, the system reboots automatically.

If you haven't changed any of the system failure settings, you should be able to see the error by looking in the Event Log. But a better long-term solution is to turn off the automatic reboot so you can actually see the error when it happens—chances are it will tell you enough about itself to let you troubleshoot further. To change the recovery settings to disable automatic rebooting:
1.
Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

2.
Click the Advanced tab.

3.
Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.

4.
Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.

5.
Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.


Now when you go to shut down and a fatal error occurs, you'll at least see it and it won't cause an automatic reboot. You still have to sort out what's causing the problem, but that gets us to the next section quite nicely.
