Hello, how can i see what BSOD says? I can't change anything except bios, because pc doesn't even start, BSOD appears while starting windows xp. How can i be able to see what BSOD says? Because it appears for 1sec and then PC restarts. My motherboard is AsRock-ConRoeXFire-eSata2

f8 when the system starts and it should show up windows startup menu - there should be an option named "disable automatic restart"...

or...
getting a bootable disc, booting any live system and reading minidump should help too...
and as far as I can remember... Hirens disc has a bluescreen viewer too...

there are many options and the choice is yours...

Use F8 to boot into safe mode.

1. right-click "my computer" and select properties.
2. Click on the "Advanced" tab.
3. Click on the "settings" button in the 'Startup & recovery" area.
4. Under the system failure area, uncheck "automatically restart".

Now reboot and it should stop on the blue screen.
