By default it is set to automatically restart on system failure but it is possible to change it so that it will display a blue screen with error information instead, which you can use to solve the problem. To do so, complete the following steps, depending on your operating system.

Windows XP

Go to Start > Run > Type sysdm.cpl > Press Enter

In System Properties, go to the Advanced tab and click Settings under Startup and Recovery.

System Properties

Uncheck Automatically restart under System failure and click OK out of both windows.

Automatically Restart

Windows Vista / 7

Click Start Start > In Start Search, type sysdm.cpl > Press Enter

Click Continue if you encounter the following prompt.

UAC Prompt

In System Properties, go to the Advanced tab and click Settings under Startup and Recovery.

System Properties

Uncheck Automatically restart under System failure and click OK out of both windows.

Automatically Restart

Now, in the case of a system failure, the computer will display a blue screen containing error information like the following, instead of restarting. You can use the information on this screen to diagnose and solve the problem.
